Wind up Ride and Lunch |
GHP Road Warriors Ride procedures:
· Cap on total number of cyclists to 25 for safety and health reasons.
· Ride your ride. We generally have one group who will ride +/- 25 kms and one group who will ride +/- 40 km. Many rides are out and back along the same route so you can easily ride for however far you wish on those rides.
· No one rides alone, one of the other riders will alway pair up with you.
· Appoint a leader for each group to lead the riders safely and keep group together. Keep the groups to a maximum of 10 riders.
· Bring your own brown bag and refreshments for lunch. Lunch is at noon and we ask all riders to return around then.
· Rides and après ride to be all in public venues or hosted by one of the group.
· Safety and rules of the road are paramount (see Safe Riding Skills below)
· Meet at 9:45 am – Start riding at 10:00 am – Lunch at Noon – Done by 1:00 pm
· Many members also ride on Sunday. Sunday rides will be discussed at lunch on Wednesday.
Safe riding skills:
· When we stop, choose the right place to do so, i.e.:
· Away from intersections
· Away from top of hills
· Find a driveway or clearing so that no riders stop on the road
· On a busy road, ride single file in a group of 5 maximum
· Know your hand signals, make them clear and definitive
· Shoulder check is one of the forgotten safe riding skills
· The other one is to ride in a simple straight line (not joking)
The 3 R’s:
· Same Roads: You can and should use the roads – not the sidewalks
· Same Right: You have the right to your space on the road
· Same Rules: If you want respect, you need to follow the rules. You can’t have it both ways!
The 3 A’s:
· Be Aware of hazards, road conditions, intersections
· Stay Alert at all times
· Keep your Attitude in check; If you want to get even with someone, make it the person that treated you with respect, and not the truck driver that passed by you too close for comfort.
