3 ANNOUNCEMENTS: Credit Cards - Try to use credit cards with all your gas, snack and meal purchases. This will avoid delays at the fuel pumps (pay at pump when possible) and prevent the cash registers from running out of small change. If you rarely use your credit card outside your home town, you may want to call the company and let them know that you are traveling in this area so they won't think your card was stolen and lock it down. Rain Rules - If it s raining, we don't roll. If we get wet on a ride, we don't care. Rain is always a possibility here. If you can't see the sun, have your rain gear on because we cannot stop the entire group for wardrobe changes. Lane Hait our resident Audiologist, will again be offering great prices on custom molded ear plugs and headsets for the Rendezvous week. He will only have a few molding kits with him, so first come, first served. Get'em while they are cheap! SAFETY GUIDELINES: 1. Helmets are required for the state of West Virginia. 2. Formation: Single file (secondary roads) and Staggered (open highways) - Fill gaps by swapping tracks after hand signaling. Stay 2-3 seconds behind the rider directly in front of you. Absolutely no side-by-side riding on the group rides! 3. Point to hazards in the road with a hand or foot so those behind you will have advance warnings. 4. No Slingshotting (lagging back, then shooting forward) Please maintain a steady pace and distance. 5. Park in straight lines behind and beside lead bike on scenic stops. This will save a lot of time and effort with stopping and starting. 6. Less experienced and less aggressive riders ride up front behind the lead captains. However, all group riders should posses the skills to ride these roads at or slightly above speed limits and be comfortable in a large group environment. 7. Road Captains in front, Road Captains in rear, Road Captains in the middle. Everyone else rides between the Captains. No exceptions. 8. Problem bikes stop. All others continue on. Rear Captains will provide assistance. 9. Personal stops just flag the rear captains on by, and then rejoin the group at the next stop if you wish. 10. Keep your brain working!! Kickstands, kill switches and petcocks are often overlooked on group events. 11. Turn off Spot lights if possible. (Except Road Captains) 12. Ride Responsibly. We are not here to improve or test our skills, but to enjoy the ones we already have. 13. Tires and Brakes: Mountain and group riding is tough on tires and brakes. Check yours well before coming and often during the week. 14. Park your bike in first gear to prevent roll-offs, and remember that it s in gear when you crank it! 15. Passing other riders. It is acceptable to respectfully pass a rider ahead of you when safe to do so if he/she appears to be losing sight of the pack ahead. For those who are having difficulty keeping up, the rear captains will lead as a slower paced secondary group. Page 3 of 11
