Course Riding Safety Guidelines

When may a coach not permit riding on a course?

What are the reasons why a coach may not allow a rider to ride on a course?

Final answer:

A coach may not permit riding on a course due to: dangerous course conditions, a lack of appropriate safety equipment, insufficiency in rider ability, or failure to follow course rules and regulations.

A coach will not permit riding on a course under certain conditions. Usually, these circumstances revolve around safety concerns. This might include situations where the course conditions are dangerous (i.e., too wet, icy, or generally hazardous), when the rider doesn't have the appropriate safety equipment, or when the rider's ability level is insufficient for the challenges posed by the course. The coach might also not allow riding if the rider does not follow the rules and regulations established for the course. These measures are put in place to protect both the individual riders and the other individuals present on or near the course.
