Protocol:

• Helmets required, no sudden lateral moves, call out hazards, call out mechanical problems, ride at a steady pace, …, ask for a mentor if you are new to group riding

• Jam as hard as you like on the climbs, occasional sprint for fun, soft pedal for an in-flight regroup when we get separated

• Regroup at the top of every major climb and every significant descent — everyone descends at their own safe speed

• Pay attention to the regroup locations and don’t pass them if you wish to stay with the group

Bring two water bottles

Regroups: first regroup at Alpine/Portola, water/bathrooms at Rancho San Antonio park; other regroups called out at each stop
