The purpose of this blog is to provide information to those who wish to find an easier source concerning information about Stonyford OHV. That is the very point of the blog: to bring many resources to a certain point. I do wish to market this site to drive traffic and I realized (although not on a large scale) that this blog might drive more traffic to Stonyford.
Now on that note we need to be careful. The more people there are at Stonyford the more likely your chances are of getting into a head on collision with another rider or ATV. Holidays, races, and ideal weather conditions will foster more people arriving to shred Stony.
Since we cannot control how many people go up we can employ a certain strategy for avoiding head on collisions.
1) Be ready to ride as soon as its bright enough to see in the morning. The early you start your day the more likely you wont see anyone while riding. The vast majority of people like family and friends go up, drink the night before, wake up about 9-10 to ride. Leave early in the morning and try to finish riding by 3.
2) Try your best to ride during the week. This is the same trick one uses when going to Tahoe to ski. If you want to avoid the lines go during the week and certainly avoid holidays.
3) Be smart about where you pin it. I know this sounds stupid to mention but a lot of my friends who are VERY fast speed in areas that are just STUPID. If someone where to be coming around a corner at any speed the impact would always produce broken bones. Speed where you know areas well and perhaps even taking breaks in safe parts of the trail to listen for any trace of someone being out on a trail near you.
