As with all Group Ride Outs, please note that if the overnight temperature is forecast to be below 3 degrees C, the ride out will be cancelled automatically. There will not normally be a second notification if this is the case
Please make sure you are fully conversant with the rules of the “BACKMARKER SYSTEM”. Following these correctly is vital to the smooth running of the day & reduces the risk of losing someone, or everyone. Details of the BM system are on the RoSPASMART website.
If you’re unsure on the day, ask one of the attending Instructors. They will be more than happy to clarify any issues you have.

Also a request from some members after the last couple of ride outs.

Can only one person wear the orange hi viz during the EOM ride out please. I appreciate you may normally wear an orange hi viz whilst riding. However feedback would suggest some found it confusing for those in the middle of the group to see two riders with the orange hi viz. So in an effort to avoid confusion can we ensure that only one is worn. Thank you

Please be fully fuelled and ready to go prior to the start of the day.

Have a safe enjoyable day
