9/24/2022 - OLH / WOLH/ 35 to Kings
Peloton,
Let’s head back to some of the routine hills and add in a new climb up to Skeggs Point via 35. That will pretty much end our climbing for the day. It will be a little shorter ride as we transition into the Fall season, and rest up for CX and other winter activities.
I will be recovering from my Covid vaccination shot on Friday night so I am hoping it will not impact my riding. We will see. :-)

Ride Etiquette
Introduce yourself to new riders. If you're a new rider, introduce yourself at the start of the ride.
Roll out from the start/regroups gently so everyone has a chance to warm up and get going.
Use hand signals and call out turns, stops and road obstructions. Repeat the message through the group.
Mechanicals: relay the message to the front. Help out the victim. Wait for the victim at the next regroup.
Ride paceline / 2x2 on the flats. Ride leader will initiate a rotating paceline when the group desires.
Follow behind the wheel in front to avoid the bunch spilling over the road.
If you leave a ride early, notify someone so the group doesn't think they lost you.
Ride safety:
Riders should carry Medical ID that contains your name and emergency contact information. Additional helpful information includes any medical history. Two IDs are preferable.
Riders are discouraged from riding with AV groups if they don't wear a helmet.
Riders are always responsible for their own safety. If you feel uncomfortable riding with the group, gently move to the rear of the group.
Look for yourself for cars and other road users, and OBEY TRAFFIC rules – you are responsible.
Do NOT cross the center line. You will be asked to leave the ride if you do so.
If you're new to group riding, make this known to the ride leader and ask for help.
Protect your front wheel, do not cross wheels.
Do not make sudden lateral movements at any time.
Be gentle on brakes so as not to suddenly stop in front of someone.
No Aero Bar use
