rides are a great way to maintain fitness, find new routes and socialize with other club members. However, riding in a group creates its own risks and can seem daunting at first. Club rides are shown on the website and may be longer or shorter depending on who is the Ride Leader. The aim of this is to cater for a range of cycling abilities and time members are able to allocate. Rides aim to be on quieter roads, safer for group cycling and typically include a café stop. Safety is paramount, so please read these guidelines carefully and ask for support or guidance if needed either before or on the ride.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese guidelines have been put together to help members prepare and safely participate in Club rides. The Ride Leader will ensure that all participants are looked after and is available for advice and support, especially for new members. The Club rule is that no one gets left behind, ensuring all members can participate. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen riding with the Club it is important to remember that you are riding as a member of a group and not as an individual. Each member is responsible for riding in a manner which helps ensure the safety of themselves as well as others. The Ride Leaders are experienced and capable cyclists who have helped create these guidelines. Please follow the instructions and guidance offered as the Ride Leader is considering the safety of everyone. After rides, they share feedback on how the ride went, any issues they encountered and how they dealt with them. The Ride Leader will be responsible for ensuring that the group stays together and clear directions are given ahead of turns.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen out on the road wear your TF kit with pride and represent the club in a positive light.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNB: If the weather forecast is 3 degrees or lower for the morning or night before then the rides will be cancelled on safety grounds.?\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBritish Triathlon have some useful videos and information on riding that show the general principles including effective communication to avoid hazards and signals for changes of direction.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\u0022https://www.britishtriathlon.org/training/road-safety/group-riding\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003ehttps://www.britishtriathlon.org/training/road-safety/group-riding\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\u0022https://www.britishtriathlon.org/roadsafety\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003ehttps://www.britishtriathlon.org/roadsafety\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing a member of BTF also provides insurance for club activities.

This is to ensure we do not snake too far along a road (8-10 riders in a line takes up a huge length of road and are difficult for other road users to pass) and allows riders to spend time “on the front” working harder and then to drop back and get a little respite.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo do this safely, the rider periodically on the front right of the group slowly overtakes the person to their left and slots in in-front of them. The line of riders on the right all then steadily move up two positions, giving a change of rider on the front right (see video above for a demo). The time spent on the front can be altered to accommodate terrain, weather and rider ability. If for any reason you are struggling to maintain the pace of the ride it is perfectly acceptable to miss a turn on the front by going through and asking the person who is on your right to move through again.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRide close to the rider in front of you and parallel to the rider beside you, but only as close as you are comfortable with.
