RBC A Ride on Tuesday. 6:00 pm start. Hunters Woods Shopping Plaza. You know the drill, but if you don't:
1) Join RBC, complete the waiver, and sign up for the ride. 2) We won't start really riding/"racing" until we make the left on Lawyers Rd. from Steeplechase 3) We will slow roll at the bottom of Birdfoot to allow a regroup. Nobody is racing or attacking down Birdfoot. Be careful if there is sand, cars, etc. at the corner. Once we get to the bottom and everyone is present and proper, feel free to start hammering. 4) This is the most important rule. When we make turns onto roads we make sure it is safe for anyone behind us. You are responsible for all the riders behind you, even if there is a gap. In particular, the first rider at the top of the final hill on Stuart Mill is responsible for checking the intersection at Fox Mill and ensuring that the entire group can roll through safely. 5) Be careful in neighborhoods, particularly after turning off Franklin Farm. We can continue at a brisk pace, but there are too many blind left/right turns to continue at full intensity 6) Look out for and call out items on the road that will cause a problem such as branches, gravel, etc. Lawyers in particular always seems to accumulate branches and gravel in the bike lanes. 7) Do not cross over yellow lines, or cross into oncoming traffic. Do not swarm/pass cars at stop lights, stop signs, etc. 8) No TT/tri bikes, clip on aero bars, or 'puppy paws' position. No e-bikes or earbuds. Move away from other people before blowing snot rockets.
