To participate in this GABA group ride you MUST:

1. Be willing to ride at a social pace (end of ride social 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.

The end-of-ride average speed is expected to be between 12 and 14 MPH, preferably closer to 12 than 14.
If you are not comfortable or not capable with this expected pace average over the entire route, please do not participate in this ride, it is not fair to the other riders.
This is a social ride, lots of conversations, and regroupings as we will not drop anyone. Riders are expected to ride at the pace of the ride leader and between the ride leader and the sweep.

• You are a representative of the greater cycling community and will therefore conduct yourself appropriately.
• You will represent GABA well.
• While on the Loop, you will respect others on the Loop. You will take care when passing pedestrians and other cyclists: ring your bell or call out "Passing" or "Good morning!" before passing.
• This is not a "training" or "intensive" ride - this is a social, no drop, base building ride.
