General Group riding tips
- Have a full tank before arriving at the departure
point.
- Tell the group leader if you have any special concerns,
i.e. speed, sharp corners, etc.
- Tell the group leader if you plan to leave the group
before the destination. Also tell the persons riding in front and behind
you so they don't think you are having a problem.
- When a rider leaves the group while in staggered formation,
the best way to compensate for the hole made my his absence is for each
rider behind the missing bike to change lanes. Doing this eliminates
passing in a single lane.
- Tell the group leader if your bike has an unusually
short fuel range or if your bladder has a short range.
- It is not unusual to start out on a ride when it
is fairly warm and have the temp cool down a lot before getting home.
Riders often wear a light jacket because it felt fine at the time of
departure and really be freezing after it got dark. This frequently
happens on dinner rides.
- Remember to take some clear eye protection if the
ride will extend into the evening.
- When exiting a expressway, keep up the pace so the
riders behind you aren't forced to slow down while still on the expressway
and become a traffic hazard.
