Ride without conflict of use

The right timing Overall, the majority of riders are taken by a professional (and sometimes family) rhythm which requires being available to ride on weekends. And it is also at this time that the other users of the forest get together! Suffice to say that if you want to meet as few people as possible and ride in a more serene way, it is best to avoid Sundays! Experience Saturday morning, it's at least 50% fewer users in nature. Certainly it breaks a little habits, but it is to be tested. The right group There are mountains where you can ride at 10 or more and others where it's really complicated, especially those close to civilization where you already meet a lot of people. Privilege for small groups, 4 to 5 people maximum. It's more discreet. And above all we avoid group emulation and fluff pulling that make us look like brainless bourins! The right attitude Is it necessary to repeat it again but, remember to discuss with the people you meet. Communication is the best way to unfreeze frozen relationships. We only fear what we do not know. So, smile, chat! And for that, it means that we stop to let things pass. No question of forcing the passage, it's up to you to master your machine. You must be able to stop quickly, even in a technical passage. And then also, try to ride discreetly. Admittedly, mountain biking is exhilarating, but you don't have to scream on the descents! The good spot There are very busy places, others a little less. Sometimes it's just one car park that is more so than another. So be imaginative in your turns, avoid always driving in the same place. It is sometimes good to lower the pressure a little on a spot. If you lack ideas for mountain biking, we are here at VTOPO to help you ;-) Common sense Social networks are full of these trails designed for mountain biking, with banked turns, bumps... in short, very fun, modern mountain biking. We only want to be able to find such a trail next to the house. And so shovel and pickaxe can quickly itch. Before venturing into construction, remember that all land belongs to an owner (a private person, a town hall or a department, for example). So put yourself in the place of an owner who arrives and who sees his forest newly opened in 2 by your pretty trail... Obviously, it puts you in a bad mood. To do this, get closer to the MBF and its file on the mountain bike trail development guide. You will find all the answers there. The good share Got a great spot? You only want to share it and that is understandable. But the more you promote, the more people there will be. And if the spot is already well frequented by other users, you risk a conflict of use. To do this, avoid sharing your track on highly visited websites, for example, or putting the segment on dedicated applications. Finally, if you want to talk about it on your social networks, be evasive about the location! The right maintenance Between maintenance and development, there is a huge gap. Nowadays, trail openings are flourishing in natural spaces. But before taking a shovel and a pickaxe and doing anything, keep in mind that you are about to develop (cut, carve, dig, compact, etc.) land that does not belong to you. By putting yourself in the owner's shoes for a few seconds, your vision of the layout may change. Whatever happens, common sense encourages finding common ground with the owner and manager. Finally, the maintenance is different for him: stopping to free a dead branch, removing stones, going up a low wall, plugging a few holes are actions that all practitioners should carry out regularly. But beware, cutting a branch or a tree is different again! © Cedric Tassan
