Rules and info applicable to all groups: -Please no bluetooth speakers or phones playing music -Riders are responsible for themselves. All riders should have a phone number and contact to call in case they need to be picked up. Their contact should know the route ahead of time and be prepared to pick up their rider. -Riders should have a gravel bike or mountain bike with minimum 32mm wide tires. 32mm is the minimum but 35mm or larger is ideal. Some rides will be designated as road rides, in which road bikes with smaller tires are acceptable. -Riders are all responsible for their own mechanical support. Riders should be prepared with all necessary items and knowledge to fix their own bike in the event of a flat tire, broken chain, broken derailleur, etc. All riders should have a tool kit containing at minimum a proper bicycle multi tool, tire levers, tubes, co2 cartridges and/or frame pump, and tubeless tire plugs. -All riders are required to wear a helmet, and have their bike equipped with a functioning front and rear taillight -All riders are expected to follow the designated ride leader’s pace and instructions. No rider should ride faster than the ride leader or ride in an aggressive manner. Any riders that find themselves “off the front” of the group on accident, should be aware of the situation and slow down accordingly to let the rider leader and group catch up. -Ride leaders may occasionally ride faster than the designated Group Pace, but they will always be aware of the group and make sure to slow down to let the group catch on. Ride leaders may also accelerate briefly to catch riders that have gone off the front and bring them back. Ride leaders should make clear to the group that this is their intention and that they do not plan on dropping the group. -Advertised Group Ride Pace is the ideal average speed that the ride will finish at. Due to wind and topography the average speed may at times be slower or faster than the advertised average pace, but by the time the ride finishes the ride should be close to the advertised average pace. -Ride leaders should have a GPS computer with the ability to track average speed. They should have a “lap speed” option to track their average speed. After the neutral rollout through town, the ride leader will hit the lap button to track an accurate average speed for the entirety of the group ride. Riders are encouraged to track their average speed for the ride as well.
