October 16th – mid month Ride Out

This is the rescheduled September End of Month ride, thus a bonus for October !

RIDE DETAILS

One of the riders will need to Back-Mark so any volunteer for this please advise the ride leader when you register for the ride, if you have an orange Hi-Viz please bring it with you, or one may be provided on the day, or given the limited size of the group and alternative marker may be agreed.

*COVID* All Club Ride-Outs are governed by current government Covid19 restrictions, so attendance will be via registration with no limits on numbers attending.  If within 10 days after attending the ride you subsequently become ill or test positive then please notify the club via email ‘committee@southernriders.org‘ .

Back-Marker System: Please make sure you are fully conversant with the rules of the “BACK-MARKER 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 our Southernriders.org  website.   If you’re unsure on the day, ask one of the attending Ride Leader. They will be more than happy to clarify any issues you have.

Hi-Viz:  If you wear hi-viz, please ensure it is not Orange as this is reserved for the ‘back-marker’ during our ride-outs.  We appreciate you may normally wear an orange hi-viz whilst riding.  However, some found it confusing when in the middle of the group to see two or more riders with the orange hi-viz.
So, in an effort to avoid confusion and markers leaving their post prematurely ONLY the back-marker to wear orange hi-viz.   Thank you

Weather
As with all Group Ride Outs, please note that if the overnight temperature is forecast to be below 3C degrees, the ride out will be cancelled automatically.   There will not normally be a second notification if this is the case.

Please be fully fuelled and ready to go prior to the start of the day.
Have a safe enjoyable day.     Ride Smart – Ride Safe !
