CHRISTCHURCH CRUISER CLUB
RIDE OUT RULES AND GUIDELINES

• At each ride out meeting point the designated Road Captain will explain to all destination, route, rest stops including fuel and appoint Road Marshals, as required.

• The ride out format will be Road Captain, Marshals, Club Riders and Back Markers.

• Staggered riding where possible and remember the two second rule. If road conditions necessitate ride in single file.

• The Back Marker will remain at the rear of the ride, and drop off with any rider who pulls over (for whatever reason). The Road Captain will pull ride over at a point that he/she feels is safe for all the ride and await outcome, (radio/phone).

• Marshals will assist ride in marking direction of travel. Any marshal or rider dropped off, must remain at position until Back Marker releases them.

• Ride within your own capabilities. Keep your view and options open, check your mirrors, cancel your indicators after use and remember you are not on your own. NO OVERTAKING in the ride unless it is an emergency. This is for your safety.

• Ensure your bike is roadworthy, taxed and insured and that you have adequate breakdown cover before coming on a ride.

• Weather and road conditions may necessitate a change of route or destination.

• The aim of the Road Captain and Marshals is to take the Club riders to a destination and return as smoothly and SAFELY as possible. Should any rider put the ride and riders in any jeopardy for any reason whatsoever, the Road Captain will speak to the rider concerned as soon as possible. SERIOUS BREACH of above may result in removal of rider.

• Any rider failing to show improvement after three verbal warnings over 12 months may have his or her membership suspended or cancelled (subject to committee).

• REMEMBER SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT

• A FIRST AID KIT IS ALWAYS TAKEN ON RIDE OUTS.

• THE ROAD CAPTAIN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RIDE OUT AND HIS DECISION IS FINAL.

• Above all we want you to have a safe and enjoyable ride.
