Updated June 29: After being cooped up for so long many are turning to trails to get a healthy dose of fresh air and exercise. As a result, the trails are busy! Here are a few tips to help keep you and other trail users safe during the COVID 19 pandemic.

Avoid crowded parks and trails
Plan to ride during less busy times
Don’t linger and avoid gathering in groups
Bike solo or only with members of your household or social bubble
Keep at least 2 metres (6 feet) from others when not riding
Allow at least 10 metres (30 feet) of space when following another rider and provide at least 2 metres (6 feet) of space when passing another rider
When taking breaks, move well off the trail
Practice low-risk riding
Wash or sanitize hands after touching communal surfaces like gates or garbage bins
Stay home if you are feeling sick
Stay informed and respect trail closures when posted

Please act responsibly when using the trails and support your local trail association by purchasing a membership or by making a donation.

Thank you and stay healthy!
