Be advised that all poles and/or flags, fencing, signage, and padding on equipment or objects, or other forms of marking devices are used by the area to inform you of the presence or location of a potential obstacle or hazard. These are no guarantee of your safety and will not protect you from injury. It is part of your responsibility under the Mountain Biking Responsibility Code to avoid all obstacles or hazards, including those that are so marked. Please note that not all obstacles or hazards are marked, and as conditions change throughout the day obstacles and/or hazards may appear where they were not present before.
