Question of the week: How fast should I go downhill? Slower than you are comfortable with. Maybe it’s because I’m not a great descender, but I don’t chase PR’s downhill. A lot of our canyons have blind turns where you cannot see if there is sand on the road, a slow-moving car, or a loose table saw blocking the road. Descend with caution.
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 | ||||||
