| Guidelines: | |
| 1) | Map Providers are responsible for distributing both “long” & “short” route maps before the ride. They should pre-ride/drive the route & minimize highway travel/crossings. |
| 2) | “Long” Routes should be 55-65K, and not to exceed 70km. We need to be mindful of daylight, especially for those riding to the Start Locations. |
| 3) | “Short” Routes should be 45-55K. |
| 4) | Please follow the rules of the road, and use proper cycling etiquette: stay in your line, maintain tire clearance, no sudden braking, alerts others of upcoming hazards (gravel & potholes). |
| 5) | Make sure your bike is in good condition before the ride, and carry spare tubes, patch kits, pumps/CO2, tire levers, etc. |
| 6) | Look after each other: re-group occasionally (at corners, Stop signs). If you are going to get dropped off the pack let someone know, please. Make sure you understand maps, so you can get home. |
| 7) | Invite a guest, and educate them on proper riding etiquette. If needed, be comfortable with riding along with them at the back. |
