If the list goes over the limit I will be asking for a sweep and possibly a second ride leader.

To participate in this GABA group ride you MUST:

1. Be willing to ride at a regroup pace (end of ride pace 12-14 MPH).
2. Be willing to serve as the ride sweep for a portion of the ride.
3. Use the phrase "walker/bike up" when overtaking someone.
4. Use the phrase "walker/bike left" when approaching someone coming at us. This should be used when on narrow parts of multiuse paths.
5. Stay right of the center line on multiuse paths and right of the white line while on the road except to pass.
6. Give at least 3 feet when passing someone walking or riding in the same direction.
8. The ride waiver will be filled out prior to the ride, you will just need to verify the information and sign it.
   The end-of-ride average speed is expected to be between 12 and 14 MPH.
   If you are not comfortable or not capable of this expected pace average over the entire route, please do not participate in this ride, it is not fair to the other riders.
