THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF GROUP RIDING
1. Arrive at the meeting place on time with a full tank of gas and ready to ride.
2. Make sure everyone is aware of the route. Provide a map if necessary.
3. Plan stops for rests, gas, lunch, etc., and ensure that all riders know where the stops are.
4. Split large groups into smaller groups of 5-6 and allow a few minutes between groups.
5. Ride at a pace that is comfortable, but not faster than the slowest bike or least experienced rider.
6. Maintain your position in a staggered formation using the two second rule as a minimum unless road
conditions dictate otherwise.
7. Be responsible for your own safety. Don’t rely on others. Scan well ahead for hazards and signal the
following rider if time permits.
8. Be courteous and allow other motorists to enter/exit a highway, change lanes or pass.
9. Look out for your fellow riders. Should some-one fall behind and the route is not familiar, at least one
rider will wait at an intersection where they might make a wrong turn.
10. If you decide to leave the ride it is only common courtesy to alert the leader of your group. If you
decide to leave en route you must signal another rider to prevent a wild goose chase.
