Seems like every year we post a reminder to be careful of snakes on the trails. Please be aware of your surroundings especially in the morning and early evening when snakes will be out in the open trying to warm up. Also, a good reason to keep your dog leashed as they are much more likely to get bit then you.
Here are some handy tips from The Outbound Collective

This is a special post for all the mountain bikers out there. Especially the ones who have never Googled "Mountain Bike Trail Etiquette". The trails are getting busy, that's a good thing since it means more people are enjoying the outdoors. Unfortunately, busy trails also increase the chance for user conflict. Bikers should always yield to horses and hikers. However, many don't seem to realize that the climbing rider always has the right of way when encountering another bike. This is especially important when approaching a blind corner. The life you save may be your own.
Most of this is common sense but a little courtesy goes a long way Be Nice, Say Hi. Everything else you can learn on the Interweb.

For all you slackers who have not yet trained your dogs to pick up their own poop, PLEASE clean up after your pooch. Leaving poop on the trail is disrespectful to other trail users and also a public health hazard. This is a big problem at Fay Luther which is especially popular with dog walkers.
Thank you Terry Cuyler for this educational video.
