  1. Ride behind the leader and ahead of the “sweep” (rear leader).
  2. Inform the leader or the sweep if temporarily or permanently leaving the ride 
  3. Ride single file and to the right to accommodate oncoming cyclists and allow faster riders to pass.
  4. Always obey rules of the road
  5. Use hand signals/arm signals to inform riders behind of your intentions
  6. Keep a safe distance back from the rider in front of you. 
  7. When stopping, move off of the roadway, so others can pass safely. 
  8. Announce warnings like “Rider Back”, “Rider Up”, “Passing on Left”, “Passing on Right”, or “Stopping”, as needed.

Ride Safely! – Have Fun! – Enjoy the Company!
