Safety guidelines
The ITRS is an objective way to assess trails and routes from a biker’s perspective, evaluating four aspects:
· Technical Difficulty: riding skill level needed
· Endurance: combined effect of length, uphill and downhill
· Wilderness: amount of planning required based on mobile phone reception, rescue options, water supply and wildlife
· Exposure: consequences of a fall
