group rides
I personally like riding alone. But these are basic rules that everyone must follow in any group ride. These rules are standard for all group rides no matter who you are riding with. riding with your friends or riding with 5,000 other people the rules are the same.
Stay alert at all times. Hold your line. Don’t overlap wheels. Don’t look back! Relax! Focus on the rider(s) ahead. Beware of pot holes in the road. Don’t brake unless absolutely necessary. Pass carefully. Always move through the pace-line at a steady pace and maker sure you are clear of the front rider before pulling off. verbal communication (passing on your right, pot hole, Car,stop) Be prepared. Make sure you have enough water, food and equipment to fix problems with your bike. Last edited by jagonz456; 02-05-2010 at 05:37 PM. |

I think it is important for the inexperienced riders to ask questions. I remember when I first started riding with groups, I never asked questions that I should have; and I got burned....pissing off a few people along the way. I think experienced riders should identify those less experienced and try and coach them along (positively). It will make for a safe ride for everyone.

jagon, your input all makes sense except for one. "Don't look back" Why?
