Wellington - Wednesday Night Smaller Group Ride WNSGR
Detailed at the Calendar :

Between now and the end of Daylight Saving: An open invitation is extended to riders in the Wellington community intending to ride with The Cruisy Wednesday Night Ride, that I am prepared to depart progressively earlier each Wednesday in a group of five riders from the Duckpond at Avalon. Departure will be approximately quarter of an hour before the main TCWNR riding group.

Those that may want to leave earlier may meet me at the Duckpond on the Wednesday evening, or send a PM in advance.

It is not my intention to detract from TCWNR, but to provide an option, given the fact that the days are getting shorter, and that attendance at TCWNR can at times exceed 10,15, and 20 riders all leaving en masse at 6.30pm.

Destination point can be agreed by the smaller group on the evening and it is accepted that the main riding group may not necessarily decide to ride to the same destination.

In the event that no riders want to depart earlier on any particular week, I may join the main riding group and ride toward the rear of the group.

Take whatever steps you feel are necessary, and if you see a potential hazard/s occurring on group rides regularly, then step back and speak up, and then if necessary create your own safety margins.

Group dynamics within the community, may not necessarily be to your personal liking, but if the potential exists to reduce risks, then hopefully the group will take appropriate action to improve and reduce the risks with compromise and open communication.

Heads Up and Enjoy
