Trail Manners Matter and Obeying the Rules

The winter finally got off and running and with that lots of snowmobilers that have the ability to snowmobile out there back door, with no trailering to another location.  We have really nice trail system in the Honeoye, Canadice, Hemlock, Naples and Wayland area. Who wouldn't like to have what we have.  Sadly were in a place due to mis behaving snowmobilers of losing trails that the club has worked hard to mow, trim brush and post signs and groom the trail for you, the rider.  Why would people want to ruin what we built for the community?

We have 25 feet between stakes in the fields that the farmers hae granted permission for which is plenty of room fro the groomer and all snowmobilers.  Why do people decide to go outside the staked area?  We have Quiet signs, slow signs, stay on trail signs, slow dog signs and speed limit signs and people choose not to follow the posted signs.  I know quite a few people and likely the majority care but there are the spoilers out there that are trying to ruin it.  Landowners don't need us, the snowmobile club and/or its snowmobile members, or snowmobilers period. 

Snowmobilers better get their act together and start paying attention and slow down where there are houses, keep the sleds toned down when you see quiet signs.  When you see a ton of signs or flagging/snowfence, that usually indicates there is a problem or that its a problem area.  We shouldn't have all the landowner complaints we are getting if people start paying attention to signs, be considerate and ride more responsibly to preserve landowner relations permission for the trail or we lose it. 

We are on the verge of losing trails with NO REROUTS.  Your choice.
