BUNCH SAFETY
Obey traffic signals – red lights
Ride inside the yellow line
Single file on narrow roads
Point out objects in the road
Bunch Etiquette
Blow your nose at the back of the bunch
Don’t attack – training rides are just that – training rides
Don’t half bike
Be punctual
Saturdays – rides are slower and easier so beginners are welcome. We try and cater for a long and short group depending on the turn-outs.
Sundays – rides are usually more challenging i.e. 30+ km/hr pace. We however try and cater for multiple groups with separate capabilities, depending on the turn-outs on the day.
