Respect fellow riders.
Be courteous to drivers, pedestrians, and fellow cyclists.
Be prompt for the start of the ride.
Stay hydrated and properly fuel before and during the ride to avoid "bonking."
Leave no cyclist behind unless they're stopping for the perfect Instagram shot.
Wear your club shirt (and bib shorts) on rides to represent the club proudly.
Yes, we take safety seriously, but remember to enjoy the ride, share laughs, and have a "wheelie" good time!
Saturday group rides are NO DROP RIDES. The pace is steady, and riders should not yo-yo. Faster riders are welcome to leave the main group to maintain the group’s pace.
Keep your wheels steady and avoid sudden moves. Drafting is allowed, but drifting is not—stick close but safely spaced.
We take pride in our “no-drop” policy, BUT we encourage participants to have a reasonable level of fitness and confidence to enjoy the group rides comfortably.
Non-members are welcome but must follow club rules. Disruptive non-members will be asked to leave.
Helmets are mandatory on all rides. Safety comes first—your helmet is your crowning glory!
Front and rear lights are a necessity for visibility and safety.
Use hand signals and call out obstacles, potholes, and any changes like standing up on the bike.
Keep in the yellow lane at all times to ensure safety on the road.
On busy roads or narrow paths, switch to single file to allow safe passing.
