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 OK, 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
If you breakaway before the first regroup please be encouraged to wait at the first stop (if the wait is too long we will break the ride into two fragments: drop and no drop)
Bring two water bottles
Regroups: first stationary regroup at the corner of Alpine and Portola, each subsequent regroup location will be called out during a stop
