Deanne: Some rides don't even give you a map!!! Just follow the ribbons... :)
I think the maps are mostly primitive because they really only need to give
the rider an idea of the correct direction and location of the trail. They
give details like which colored ribbons to follow, landmarks, vet checks and
approximate mileage. Lots of the maps do have instructions written on them
as well, and that helps a lot. When it comes to reading maps, a lot of
riders tend to get D.I.M.R.!!!
