Here are some tips on winter trails good etiquette:

1. Stay off muddy trails.  If you are leaving tracks then find another trail.
2. Beat the mud.  In the Junuary mud bike early to find firmer trails that are still frozen.
3. For short sections of mud get off your bike and walk through it.  Don’t step off the trail as this widens the trail.

Riding on muddy trail can lead to ruts and wider trails that are not fun to ride and require more maintenance.

Here is an example of a muddy Desert Peach from a few weeks ago:

Here are ruts forming on Bobs trail this month

Here are current muddy conditions on Desert Peach

There plenty of good riding out there.  Take it easy on the trails that are muddy.
