You are expected to be familiar with all the details in the important information section on the right.
The ride is weather dependent. If you don't have all your Groups.Place notifications enabled, make sure you check the ride details before you leave home.
Ride Pace (Important for those not familiar with BikeRNick rides)
This is not a race. At the front I will not be exceeding the posted speed limit. If you are directly behind me, don't expect to go any faster. If you have marked a corner and want to catch me up, that's your prerogative as long as you are considerate to other road users and don't bring the club's name into disrespect (i.e. riding like a dick). If you are not one of the "fast" ones, stick to a speed YOU are comfortable with - there is no pressure to "keep up". It's my responsibility as ride leader to slow down if I need someone behind me to mark a corner. If you don't want to go as fast as others, no problem, but do watch your mirrors and move over to let people through. 20mph, 30mph & 40mph limits will be strictly adhered to. You should not worry if you feel you've been "left behind" sometimes, the tail gunner will never pass you and there's no expectation of having to "keep up" – the corner marker system means you won't get lost no matter what.
Progress Focused Rides (This is one)
These events are for members who have already attained their Corner marker System Qualification. For more information on what a Progress Focused Event is, please click on Event Types Explained in the Important Information section on the right.
I lead these exactly the same as all my rides, no faster at the front. However on these rides I want everybody to be at around the same level so I will use feedback from ride leaders of other rides you've been on to determine your suitability. Please RSVP and await confirmation from me (BikeRNick)
This ride will not be a "bimble". We will be at or near the posted speed limit at all times. If you or your bike are not comfortable with that, perhaps give this one a miss.
