Every Wednesday - Meet at Burger King carpark on Moorhouse Ave at 6.00pm for a 6.30pm departure.
Right, I know a few of us have been looking forward to this. The first official ride will be Weds 30th of September. 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. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
If you wish to do your own thing then feel free, but please leave the BK carpark earlier, before the rest of the group!! We'll see you at the pub (and expect some beers waiting for us). There's nothing worse than someone trying to be Rossi and carving up the slower riders to get to the front. That's when accidents happen. Leave first.
4. Tail End Charlie
A TEC will also be determined as a safety measure.
