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

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.
