Group Riding Tips

• Be well rested. Have your bike in good operating condition with a full tank of gas.
• Be prepared for changing weather and road conditions.
• Keep the group tight without crowding each other. Use the "Two second rule".
• Never ride in someone's blind spot. (Be seen).
• Pass other vehicles one by one.
• Ride in the lane with the least amount of hazards.
• Maintain a constant speed. This helps prevent the"Rubber band effect".
• Use hand and arm signals.
• Drink a lot of water; dehydration is a potential problem year round.
• Use the buddy system. If your buddy must pull out of the group, pull off with him or her. The sweep road captain will also stop.
• Remember each rider is responsible for their own safety as well as the safety of the group.
