Guidelines for group riding
Your riding enjoyment and safety are of concern to us
. Group rides are social rides and not designed for riders to go off on their own or
showing others how fast you can ride.
- We suggest you turn up at the nominated meeting point, on time with a full tank of fuel and in appropriate riding apparel .
- Ascertain who is the ride leader, prior to the ride and find out where to ride is going and any stopping or rest points
- Always obey road rules and speed limits and show respect to other motorists.
- Most important —Always remember the ride is not a race
- Always be part of the group and don’t go off riding on your own
- Try not to leave big gaps between you and the rider in front, but do follow at a safe distance.
- When riding in convoy try to stagger your position so the rider in front can see you in his / her rear view mirror .
- If you intend to leave the ride, make sure to let the leader know .
- Any questions about the ride do not be embarrassed to ask .
- You are welcome to join us, but remember you do so at your own risk .
- Central Coast Scooter Club will not accept any liability for accidents or damage which may occur during rides .
CORNER MARKING to be used when more than 8 riders are in the group
. Group leader and the tail end rider stay in position throughout the ride
. When the ride takes a turn, the leader will indicate to the rider behind him to mark the corner.
. That rider stays on the corner in a visable and safe position, directing the riders until the tail rider
appears .
. When the tail rider appears, the marker rider will rejoin the group in 2nd last position
The leader with other riders should wait for you at a safe location or the next nominated stopping spot should
you get left behind .
