It takes an average of 2.5 days to fully sign a Rideventures event
Our standard yellow signs with black arrows
Attached to sign posts, telegraph poles or even free-standing on electric fence posts:
(We sometimes put up mini-notices to reassure the local community that the signs are coming down soon.)

BUT Medium and Short Routes often change sign colour to show that you are on a different route:
Hazardous Descent - usually means there's a bit of gravel or a pothole or two, proceed with caution
We also put out signs warning other road users of the event
