Ride in Control: What does this mean to you?

IMBA describes riding out of control as speed, inattentiveness, and rudeness. We all enjoy riding the trails and avoiding conflicts. What is fast for one rider isn't for another. #rideresponsibly pic.twitter.com/ctwywX6DiT
What is acceptable trail use for one user group isn't for another. That being said we also have a large population of racers who are doing their best to stay fit and get ready for the next race which is highly commendable and completely encouraged. #rideresponsibly pic.twitter.com/scmfYt8kFH

Where, when, and how should racers train? What about recreational mountain bikers let's hear from you? What about other trail users? Please be polite and courteous in the comments. #rideresponsibly pic.twitter.com/QF1ZXEVLap
