Guidelines for group riding

Mannering Park ride day with Central Coast Scooter Club 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 .
