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
