After much drama, in 2019 the El Dorado Hills Community Service District has established this trail as bike legal. Let's be good trail citizens and consider these suggestions:

1. Yield to all trail users, even when riding in a group. Yield means "slow down, establish communication, be prepared to stop if necessary, and pass in a safe and friendly manner".
2. If a trail user steps off the side of the trail to let you/your group pass (basically yielding to you), make sure to cheerfully thank him or her. If you cross paths with that person again (e.g., on your way back), pleasantly insist that he or she come on by while you stop for them this time. It is the courteous thing to do.
3. Cruising speed, not interval training. Should take about 7 minutes or more to cover the full distance (averaging less than 10mph).... and about 4.5 minutes to cover the north half.
4. No night riding. Trail is closed to ALL users after sunset (dark).
5. Slow down and make a noise or ding your bike bell when approaching a turn where you can't see if anyone is coming towards you. There are about 8 spots like this.
6. No earbuds.
7. Surprise others with your friendliness and courtesy, not your speed.
