CHRISTCHURCH CRUISER CLUB
RIDE OUT RULES AND GUIDELINES

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

• The ride out format will be Road Captain, Drop Off Marshal, Club Riders and Marshals i.e. Back Markers. The third man drop off system will be used. All riders dropped off should pull over in a safe position and indicate the route for the following riders. They MUST remain in position until the back marker releases them.

• There will be 2 back marshals. One will stay with any rider who pulls over. The second will remain with the ride until such time that the Road Captain can safely pull over the ride.

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

• 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, insured, has a current MOT and that you have adequate breakdown cover before coming on a ride.

• 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. A SERIOUS BREACH of any of the above may result in removal of the rider from the ride and they may have their membership suspended or cancelled (subject to a committee decision).

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

• REMEMBER SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT

• 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.
