just know that you always have another day to ride.
dont try **** you KNOW you aren't ready for.

do constantly scan the road in front of you, on the side of you, and behind you.


gravel/water/alchol = death on bike

when in doubt, GIVE IT GAS... the throttle will save you from so many things

do not try to keep up with more experienced riders...it looks better if you ride slower than fall off
