If you have already been using HEMA for previous navigation prior to this event, be sure to clear all your old routes from your the map screen, to exclusively show the Ridge Rider Day one route and breakouts you wish to take.

> Turn the days route to bright magenta and the break out routes to black. Bright magenta and black are two of the easiest colours to see while riding.

> If you stop for photos or any other reason on route, pull off the track to a completely safe area. Do not risk a collision by stopping in areas of high dust or on corners where riders could run wide and collide with you or your motorcycle. Keep safety at the top of your mind at all times.
