Question of the week: Is it important to look left? I always look to the right down the road, but sometimes forget to look left. This morning I dropped my chain and had to pull over to put it back on. Before I started pedaling, I gave a quick glance forward, and then off I went. A moment later I realized that I had not even looked back to the left/behind me to see if there was another cyclist or car coming in my direction. Luckily for me the road was open, but it gave me a fright thinking about what “could have been”. Left, right, then left again.

Safety Tip of the Week:  Two at The End-For safety and as a courtesy, if the group spreads out, the last two people should adjust their speed to ride as a pair. If either should need assistance, they will have a helping hand.

When riding with us:
· wear helmets and ensure your bike is in good working order
· stay in bike lanes and no more than two abreast on them; single file otherwise
· not overlap wheels
· descend carefully! Look out for debris, animals, potholes, tight bends, and slick spots
· pass slower riders on the left
· ride predictably: signal when changing lines and call out hazards
· avoid bunching up
· respect all traffic rules and the rights of motor vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians
· always use proper hand signals to indicate to drivers and other riders your intentions
· we are a "rules of the road" cycling club
· 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
