You are referred to the <strong>Club</strong> Group Riding guidelines, available on the club website. The following is<br />
a summary:<br />
• Ride your own ride. Watch the road, not the bike in front <strong>of</strong> you. Visual fixation can kill you.<br />
• Maintain staggered formation when following distances reduce to less than 10 seconds.<br />
• Everyone fills up with petrol at the same time, every time. No exceptions. You may think you<br />
know better, but you don’t.<br />
• No-one gets left behind. No-one gets behind the Sweep.<br />
• No overtaking on left-hand side.<br />
• Keep the headlight behind you visible at least once every two minutes. You are responsible<br />
for the safety and wellbeing <strong>of</strong> the rider behind you. You will be asked where they are if<br />
they’re missing.<br />
• Never make a turn with making SURE the rider behind you sees you turning.<br />
• No-one leaves a designated departure point before the appointed time.<br />
• THE PRIME DIRECTIVE: DO NOT HIT THE BIKE IN FRONT OF YOU.<br />
<br />
<br />
&*+<br />
<br />
• Bring a rainsuit – it could get wet.<br />
• Limpopo Province is HOT at this time <strong>of</strong> year, so carry water. You should ALWAYS carry<br />
water.<br />
