CVC Race Director, Michael Lilly sent an
excellent email out to the members list this morning. I felt it was so on
point that it should be sent to the announce list as well.
Along the same topic, there have been some
complaints lately of club members blatantly disregarding the rules of the road
in an extremely unsafe manner.
Such flagrant disregard of the law as well
as riding that puts our group in unsafe situations WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
Case in point was a member that felt it was OK to run a red light (full speed) Northbound
at Arboles and
Please be safe out there.
Hello All,
As you may know, there have been a lot of serious
crashes and near misses on our group rides recently. I have attached a
great article I saved from Pez Cycling regarding group etiquette and safety
measures to assure us all of fun, safe and organized rides every weekend.
There are a lot of new club members that may be
reading this for the first time and a lot of skilled veterans that have heard
this all before but it’s always good to review it, practice these tips
and even help others understand why these guidelines work in a group ride…
If you are in a situation in a group ride and
don’t know what you should be doing…please ask the Ride Leader or
someone beside you. Having ridden with the group for over two years, I
know that everyone is helpful and friendly and everyone wants a safe, fun
ride….
Thanks…
Michael Lilly
CVC Race Team Director
