Safety Reminder

"Keep your head on a swivel"
Meaning: Keep an open eye, look out in all directions. Pay attention to what is going on around you, so that if you need to avoid danger you can.

If you are wearing a CVC kit, you represent the club, so please be sure to follow the rule of the road.
I will always…
Wear a helmet and ensure my bike is in good working order.
Ride to the right, pass on the left.
Ride in the bike lane (where available) and signal when moving into another lane.
Ride no more than two abreast in the bike lane, single file on narrow roads, and avoid “swarming”
Call out and point if I see a traffic hazard
Respect ALL traffic laws and the rights of all autos, bicycles, and pedestrians
Ride predictably and remind other to be safe
Be a bicycling ambassador

--------------------------------------------------------

Please remember when parking at The Landing for any weekend morning rides to park and congregate towards the far end of the lot away from the street and use the middle row.  Do not park next to the homes.

Please note the inclement weather policy below.

The Purple ride is considered a no drop. Having said that, please note that if you are falling behind or slower than the average pace, you may be dropped. All rides not asterisked are considered a "drop ride" so please understand the route before you start (and how to get back). If you get to a regrouping spot and no one is there, consider yourself dropped.  As always we will try to stick together and have a fun,  safe ride. We will regroup regularly to allow everyone a chance to ride together.

If for any reason you leave a group ride, please pass along the information to the ride leader.

It is mandatory to have & wear a helmet. It is the rider's responsibility to ensure that the helmet is in good condition (check expiration on helmet inner tag) and that your bike is in working condition as well.

Inclement weather policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel a club ride. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride.
