Here you will find links to various tips on safe riding, handling of your bike, guidelines for group riding and announcements regarding safety and training. Our goal is to help assure the activities and rides we provide for the members are both SAFE and FUN.
GROUP RIDING is not for everyone, it requires a certain level of skill and self- discipline. It restricts an individual rider's options as to speed, changes in route and lane positioning. To attempt to ride in group without having good basic riding skills and a good sense of what others in the group are likely to do - and what they expect you to do- is an invitation to an accident, one that may involve damage and injuries to more than one bike and one rider. It is also a matter of personality and and attitude, in that group riding requires good communications, courtesy among riders and a willingness to look out for the safety of others while riding your own ride. People who ride in a group usually appreciate knowing what they are expected to do, and what to expect from others who are taking part in a hazardous sport in close proximity to them. Road Captains and those who frequently ride Lead or Sweep are particularly urged to become familiar with these guidelines in order to explain them to other riders who may show up for a scheduled ride without having any group riding experience.
