General Information
-
It is important to be aware of the Highway Code as a cyclist and adhere to it at all times. https://www.gov.uk/rules-for-cyclists-59-to-82/overview-59-to-71
-
It is important to remember that you are representing Warwickshire Ladies Cycling Club and riding as a group and not an individual.
-
During a ride there will be two ride leaders, one at the front to set the pace and another at the back to ensure the last rider is not left behind.
-
It is important to learn how to communicate with other riders to establish your position or your intentions i.e. vocal instructions such as ‘coming through on the righl', 'horse', ‘car up / back', and ‘single out' and should be understood before setting off. Hand signals perform a similar job and are just as important. All necessary information on learning how to cycle as a group and other helpful information can be found at: http://www.britishcycling.org.uk/insightzone/features/article/izn20121221-group-ride-0

All riders in the group have a responsibility for the safety of both themselves and other members of the group. Knowledge of the do's and don'ts of group riding ensure the safety of the group while maximising the benefits and enjoyment of riding with friends.
-
Should anyone feel unable to continue with the ride, it is important to let the leader know. The ride can always be altered or cut short if needs be.
-
All members are expected to treat other members/riders with respect. No bullying or abuse will be tolerated by Warwickshire Ladies CC, anybody found to be doing so will be asked to leave the club immediately.
