Adventure and Off-Road Riding Disclaimer

Welcome to RideMerge! Before downloading or sharing tracks, please carefully read and understand the following guidelines and safety recommendations:

Respect for Local Residents and Roads:

• Be courteous and respectful to residents living along Class 6 roads in New Hampshire, Class 4 roads in Vermont, and other rural communities.
• Respect maintained roads—avoid causing unnecessary damage. Do not use excessive throttle that could damage road surfaces.
• Reduce your speed in settled or populated areas to minimize noise and enhance the safety of residents.
• Always yield and stop completely for horses and horseback riders, as horses can be easily startled.
• Slow down and be cautious when approaching dog walkers, hikers, cyclists, and other recreational users. Provide ample space and pass safely.

Track Sharing and Legal Compliance:

• RideMerge does not review or validate tracks for legality or property ownership. Do not share or post tracks that cross private property without explicit permission.
• Data provided by DOT imports is done so on a best-effort basis. If unsure about the status of any road or track, verify with local town offices before riding.
• Adhere strictly to seasonal restrictions, including mud season limitations, and comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

Safety Guidelines:

• Ride responsibly and within your limits—"Ride your own ride."
• Always use appropriate safety gear, including helmets, boots, protective clothing, and gloves.
• Inspect your motorcycle thoroughly before every ride (tires, brakes, lights, and controls).
• Riding alone is strongly discouraged. Ride with others whenever possible.
• Carry basic tools, a first aid kit, water, and communication devices for emergency situations.
• Inform someone not participating in the ride of your planned route and expected return time.

Thank you for your cooperation and ride safely!
