* CLUB PASSING RULES:
- The team ahead controls the pass. Only when waved ahead can the passing team go on-by.
- The faster team must call for "Trail", and wait until the slower team has time to stop and move off the trail. You may have to call more than once, as it's hard to hear with a toque, etc. covering the ears.
- The passing team must allow the team ahead the time to gain control of their dogs. Come to a full stop and be patient. We have beginners in the club. Skijorers: remember that it takes longer for the kick sledders to get to their dog(s).
- When passing, skijorers must shorten their gangline. You can use your pole to guide your dog(s) on-by.
- Kick sledders may need to get off their sled and guide their dogs on-by.
- The passed team should wait 1 to 2 minutes before attempting a pass.
- Do not ride up the rear of the team ahead, no matter how much your dog enjoys chasing the rabbit. The dog(s) ahead have 12 feet of line to turn around to meet your incoming dog.
- When passing head-on, the team going to the trail-head has right of way.
