General Mountain Bike Policy for MTO ECOTourism
| Registration And General Items: |
| |
A system of annual permits and day permits will be applied. Annual permits require a formal procedure which might take a couple of days, while day permits can simply be bought at the control gate. Only use permitted entry points for all locations. In the case of the Tokai Mountain Bike Trail the entry point is through the control gate at the Arboretum. Access at any other point will be treated in a very harsh light. Should the trial be accessed or used illegally, the trailist will immediately be expelled from the property. b A mountain bike permit will allow the rider to use only his mountain bike on the trail - no vehicles other than mountain bikes will be allowed. Vehicles of MTO FORESTRY and emergency vehicles are also making use of the jeep tracks - be on the outlook for them at all times. On exceptional high fire risk days, cyclists might be requested by the MTO FORESTRY Manager or other personnel to evacuate the trail - this might happen in so many as seven days per year, but is, in any case, those hot, dry, windy and very unpleasant days. b The mountain biker indemnifies MTO FORESTRY and SAFCOL against any claims and/or legal proceedings instituted by himself/herself or any third party, which may arise from his/her entry into the plantation or utilizing the trail. Use of the MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAIL is a privilege and an experience to be shared with many other forest users - hikers, runners, horse riders, etc. Please be considerate to them and honor their right to a peaceful and tranquil environment. |
