The economies of the small towns along the 988 Loop, and the generational residents in those towns, depend on tourism and agriculture. Recently, out-of-state investors, short term rentals, and foreign businesses have pushed locals out and destroyed small town economies.

I agree that I will not use any part of the Everide 988 Loop for ANY commercial activity including guiding, outfitting, lodging, or any other monetized activity.*

We all want the trails we love to last. The agreements found in this form are meant to preserve the trails, towns, and culture along the 988. When riders download the tracks from the source (here) and commit to respect the area, it sets a precedent that will preserve the 988, as well as raise awareness for the 988 Hotline.

I agree that I won't distribute, for free or for compensation, the eveRide 988 Loop .gpx files. If you'd like to share the tracks, please direct friends to everideadv.com*

Let's be amazing ambassadors as dual sport and ADV riders!

I agree that I will respect the trails, towns, and people along the eveRide 988 Loop. I will obey law enforcement, keep revving and loud noises to a minimum when near towns, animals, and others who are enjoying the outdoors, and ride and conduct myself in a respectful manner while on the Loop. *

Let's leave it better than we found it! I agree that I will NEVER litter, I will remove trash along the trail when I see it, and use "Leave No Trace" principles when I camp.*

The quickest way to get an area shut down is to create tracks where there are none. I agree to STAY THE TRAIL by keeping my motorcycle on designated trails.*

The eveRide 988 Loop is for MOTORCYCLES ONLY and has many sections restricted to vehicles 50 inches wide or less, and ILLEGAL to side by sides/UTVs. I agree that I WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO TAKE A SIDE BY SIDE/UTV on the eveRide 988 Loop. *

Motorcycling is incredibly fun, but it also carries significant risks.

I certify that I am responsible for my own actions, and that I have the proper skill, insurance, equipment, and emergency location equipment to ride off road in very remote locations without cellular service or readily available emergency services.*

The eveRide 988 Loop routes through THE MOST REMOTE DESERT AND MOUNTAIN AREAS IN THE LOWER 48 STATES. To reduce strain on Search and Rescue teams and local law enforcement, I certify that I will pre-plan gas stops, food stops, lodging, and bring adequate water, camping equipment, and fuel.*

AND FINALLY, I agree that if I or a loved one is in crisis, I'll remember 988 and seek help. I'll NEVER GIVE UP because LIFE IS A TRAIL WORTH RIDING! YOU CAN DO THIS! MUCH LOVE!*
