		Hikers and horses may share these trails with you.
		Please be courteous and friendly.
		Horses can be nervous around bicycles, dismount if possible.
		Regional trails often have posted speed limits that must be observed.
		Riders going uphill have right of way - keep speed under control especially on corners.
		Trails may also have gates that need to be closed behind you to keep livestock from straying.
		You can be ticketed/fined for not observing trail regulations.
