RIDE ETIQUETTE
Safe riding is our priority, and while group rides are exciting, they require extra attention to safety. As you join us, you'll learn a lot, and our experienced riders are always here to help, especially with safety tips. Please don't hesitate to ask questions.
Safety Tips
Road Hazards: Call out hazards like holes or cracks.
Traffic Laws: Always follow the rules of the road.
Braking: Avoid sudden stops; assume there's always someone behind you.
Pacing: Keep pulls shorter and be mindful of the posted pace and abilities of other riders.
Alignment: Ride handlebar-to-handlebar; avoid half-wheeling.
Spacing: Keep a safe distance and avoid overlapping tires with the rider in front.
Gaps: Close gaps gently after stops or turns.
Pace Consistency: Avoid surging; aim for a smooth, steady pace.
Team Spirit: Be an active, considerate member of the ride.
Enjoyment: Have a great ride and connect with fellow cycling enthusiasts.
Gear Checklist
Bike: Ensure it's in good condition with properly inflated tires.
Safety Gear: Helmet and sunglasses are essential.
Repair Kit: Include a flat repair kit, tube, and multitool.
Essentials: Hydration (2 bottles recommended), snacks, sunscreen, money, ID or Road ID.
Don't Forget: Front wheel and shoes.
Headphones: Not allowed for safety.
Navigation: Bike computer with GPS is recommended.
Pace Line Etiquette
Our rides typically use a double paceline format, with two rows of riders side-by-side. The paceline rotates in a clockwise manner to evenly distribute the effort. Key points:
- Rotation: The left line moves up, and the right line rider at the back moves to the left to maintain balance.
- Communication: Especially important between the two lead riders.
- Smoothness: Maintain the group's pace and be smooth in transitions.
We're more than happy to guide you through these practices during the ride.
