• Be on time for the ride start.
• Be aware of your level of fitness and ride with the appropriate group. Don’t expect the entire group to continually wait or to turn back with you.
• Be self-sufficient.  All riders should have a basic knowledge of the routes and be capable of getting back alone if necessary.
• If you ride off the front of the group, you should know the route. Don’t expect others to chase you down to inform you of a missed turn.
• If a Member brings a guest, it is expected that they ride with that guest as a sponsor.
• Obey all traffic laws, especially STOP signs.  Cars will always win.
• Point out obstacles when in a pace line.  The next injury or destroyed wheel could be your own.
• If you ride two abreast, it is your responsibility to watch for cars back and make every effort to get in single file.
• When climbing, look for cars back BEFORE you attempt to pass a slower rider.
• Each member should be prepared to “lead” a ride if called upon. Creating a route can be done in advance, and a cue sheet kept in a seat pack.

The above is for the safety and benefit of ALL riders.  Your cooperation will make everyone’s ride more enjoyable.  Thank you!
