Every Wednesday - Meet at Burger King carpark on Moorhouse Ave at 6.00pm for a 6.30pm departure.
Right, time to kick of the new season, being spring and all. The first official ride will be Weds 1st of Oct. This is the first Weds after daylight savings kicks in. See you all there!!
These rides are designed to be a social ride and an opportunity for newer riders to gain experience from the not so new riders. The destination will generally be a pub for a drink and a chat.
I must stress that this is not a race from point A to point B. If you want to "see how fast you can go" then please don't come along.
Ideally we will decide on a route on the thread beforehand and we will have a briefing at the carpark before we leave when we will explain the route and re-group points.
1. The Duvauchelles Crew
First of all, naturally the ride has developed into two distinctive groups. One group heads to Duvauchelles every week. We’ve got no problem with that but this group is not considered to be a part of the cruisy ride. They do not need to be organized. Therefore,we ask that they depart from the Burger King carpark by 6.20. This will leave a much more manageable group, being the “cruisy” ride and will help reduce confusion at the carpark.
IF YOU STAY AT THE CARPARK PAST 6.20 THEN BE PREPARED TO MEET THE FOLLOWING STIPULATIONS. IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT, THEN LEAVE.
2. Rider Responsibility
It is the responsibility of each and every rider to ride safely and within their abilities. If any rider acts in a dangerous manner then they will be asked to leave. Remember, you not only put yourself at danger but also the other riders and the general public. If you do not understand this then do not come.
3. Rider Assistance
At the carpark we’ll ask that riders who would like some one on one help will be asked to put their hands up and we’ll ask some of the more experienced riders to provide that help. Please don’t be shy. This is an excellent opportunity.
4. Leader
The cruisy group will have a lead rider appointed each week. Obviously it will be someone with reasonable skill so as to not piss everyone off. The leader will stop at the pre-determined regroup points and wait for the entire group to arrive before departing.
5. Tail End Charlie
A TEC will also be determined as a safety measure.
