Arrive ready.
Start with a full tank and an empty bladder, ready to roll on time. Check your bike and gear, and join the briefing to learn the route, stops and regroup plan. Raise any questions before departure.
A little preparation and clear communication help make group rides more enjoyable for everyone.
A few reminders
Start with a full tank and an empty bladder, ready to roll on time. Check your bike and gear, and join the briefing to learn the route, stops and regroup plan. Raise any questions before departure.
Use staggered formation with safe spacing; switch to single file when curves or conditions call for it. Obey speed limits and ride within your ability. If separated, stay calm and follow the regroup plan—never rush to catch up.
Check your mirrors regularly so the riders behind you aren’t left behind. Tell the ride leader or sweep before leaving early, whatever the reason. Keep hand signals to the essentials agreed at the briefing, with your attention on the road.
