INCLUDE OTHERS in your sport such as reporters and neighborhood friends and family.

• Del Albright's website has a ton of info on how to include others and do ride alongs.

LETTERS - write them when asked; speak to your personal experience and your dreams of future trails.

BUY ONLY from businesses that support land use and our trails. Ask before you buy.

• Visit organizational websites and raffle listings to see what businesses support land use efforts.
• Visit businesses in your area, such as MetalCloak, and talk to the folks about land use to get a feel for their commitment. Check their shop for land use logos and handouts.
• If they don't support land use TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE.

ADOPT A TRAIL with your group or club and make it an example for others to follow.

• For federal trails with the USDA Forest Service, follow these simple sample guidelines to Adopt a trail.
