Down Hill has the right of way on trail, Radio Communication (mid pack Copy & Repeat on Radio so that those behind you can hear the Trail Leader)Announce Traffic and Hazards via Radio, LED and HighBeam Etiquette (someones coming at you, dim the lights. coming up on someone in front of you, dim your lights!) Go Slow thru Water Crossings!

WebMaster:
Micke Barnes: Announced that within the week there will be some updates of fresh and new material on the Club Website. Club is now on Twitter, Instagram, Flicker, Reddit & Facebook in addition to the web.
Land Use – Christian Dahlstrom spoke about No Go Areas in the Salmon/Challis National Forest under wilderness study. 1st comment period for project has been closed, 2nd Comment period will be this summer. Our contact with BLM (Ryan Homan) gave positive feedback and advice during the Rocket Run visits. Homan gave club some excellent advice on ways to improve trails.
State Association: Nathan White not in attendance.
• Ride & Rally: helmets will be required for Barrel Racing, Thursday night on-site check in if people are there, $50 for registration includes two dinners and one shirt, extra stuff can be purchased online (like the Rocket Run), $60 for non State Association members, but that extra $10 buys them their membership.
• North Idaho Trailblazers are looking at joining the State Association. They used to be part of PNW but recently left; have 45 members in their club. They sound very organized and active and would be great to get into the Association. A group of 10-12 will be coming down to recreate with us in May, so be on the lookout.
