REGIONAL RIDES

Posted by pdl4fun On 01/29/2010 At 10:21:16

Hello BRBC members. I am updating our regional rides calendar so you guys will have info about all the great cycling events in our neck of the woods. Please take a moment to look at the really cool Regional Rides Calendar on our website. You will find it in the Out of Town rides section in left column then at the top of that page.

If any of you have an event you would like me to add, just email the info to me at outigo@gmail.com.

There are not many events in March and April, but it really kicks off big in May. I'll be at many of the Saturday events. Anyone is welcome to join me. Hope to see you on the road.

ROAD GUARDIAN

Posted by pdl4fun On 10/22/2009 At 10:45:25

One way to make cycling safer is to know where the danger points and trouble spots are located. Road Guardian is the FIRST global tool for reporting, marking and sharing cycling incidents and trouble spots.

GUIDELINES FOR AN ENJOYABLE AND SAFE RIDE

Posted by pdl4fun On 06/30/2008 At 16:12:35

Just as ride leaders have a responsibility for the rides and riders they lead, riders have a responsibility to both the ride leader and the cycling community at large to ride in a responsible manner. This includes:
-Read the ride description and be familiar with the basics of the route
-Be able to ride at the posted average pace
-Communicate any issues you may have in regards to the route, or needing to cut off early, etc. prior to the ride
-Bring proper tools to take care of common on the ride issues (pump, spare tube, tire levers, etc)
-Point out road hazards to your fellow riders whether through hand signals or voice communication
-Follow traffic laws in a safe manner:
—Ride no more than double file and move into single file when there’s traffic behind
—Yield to traffic behind
—Don't run stoplights and stop signs
—Don't ride the wrong way down one way streets
“RIDE VEHICULARLY”
