Trails Conditions
Always check trail conditions as part of your ride pre-planning. Individual trails, sections of the network or forest may be closed for safety, maintenance or forestry operations. Weather conditions will affect trails surfaces. Check the current weather conditions and forecasts before you ride.
Weather & Riding Conditions
Trails are subject to damage and closure because of normal wear and tear, wilful damage, and the impacts of weather. Weather may affect the safety of the trails and can pose various additional risks. Riders should be alert to falling trees and tree limbs which may injure riders and block trails, trail erosion or collapse from heavy rain, and changes to trail surfaces due to extended dry or wet conditions and other seasonal conditions, for example frost and ice.

Safety on the Trail
Ride within your skill level. Trails are graded to assist riders select trails that suit their riding style and abilities. All trails are signposted and graded using the International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA) guidelines. Ride your bike at a controlled speed and follow the designated direction of the trail when riding single track lines. Slow down at intersections and blind corners or wherever you are likely to come across other trail users. You must give way to horses and pedestrians. Remember that courtesy is the best safety on the trails.
General Warning & Exclusion of Liability
Sporting activities at Mogo Trails may be dangerous and may result in injury or death to the person and/or property loss or damage. Users participating and spectators viewing these activities do so at their own risk. To the extent permitted by law, Eurobodalla Shire Councils excludes all liability, including but not limited to liability for personal injury, death, property damage, property loss, and consequential loss or damage of any kind arising from the use of and/or entry to the Mogo Trails network, whether in contract, by negligent act or omission, or any other tortuous action.
Safety in the Outdoors
The trails are an outdoor experience and that means riders will be exposed to the elements, including sun, heat, rain, wind, and cold. Be prepared! Check the weather forecast before your ride and dress and prepare according to the conditions. Pack waterproofs in wet weather. Always wear eye protection and apply sunscreen to exposed skin even on overcast days. Take plenty of water, some high-energy snacks, a map and compass or GPS as well as a mobile phone. Pack a puncture repair and tool kit and first aid kit.
Respect the Environment
Always keep to the trails. The trails weave through a vast area of state forest. Forests contain many unseen and unpredictable hazards that cannot be removed or controlled. Forests contain wildlife, a multitude of plant species and habitats for birds, mammals, and insects. Do not veer off the signposted tracks as this could be destructive to habitat and dangerous to riders. If you encounter animals on the trails, keep your distance and give way. Observe fire dangers and alerts. During a Total Fire Ban no fire may be lit in the open.
