As always the Sunday ride is a hot topic with club
members.In order to keep the
rides safe we have to enforce a few rules:
We require that everyone riding with the group NOT use
tri-bars or aero-bars. They are inherently
dangerous and should not be used in group rides on the open road. Tri-bars do not allow a rider to access the brakes
quickly in an emergency when used in the tuck position.Leeway
will be given to anyone who did not know of the rule before hand, but they
must remove them before coming on the next ride. If a person has to use the
bars to help them ride faster then may we suggest a little extra training
instead!
Another thing that we see too much of on a ride is the
habit that some people have of calling out last in line when others are
drifting to the back of the group.This
is a potentially dangerous move as there may still be another rider back
there.This could cause a rider
to move over without realizing that someone is already there.So get used to looking to see if any one is in your space
before you move back in. Be aware of
your place in line at all times, keep an eye out for others, and
stay alert!
We try to make our Sunday rides enjoyable for everyone
who attends.Our aim is to be
as smooth, safe and efficient as possible.Remember that on every ride we are all responsible for the safety of
our fellow riders.When leading
at the front be sure to call out any road hazards such as potholes or debris
in the road or dead animals with their guts all over the place stinking to
high heaven, orHarley riders,
etc. etc , anyway you get the idea!If we use some common sense, we can all benefit from our club rides.
