SAFETY NOTE:
My primary concern is always for rider SAFETY - please point out hazards and be aware of other riders. Use hand signals when turning or stopping.

DISCLAIMER for any bike rides I lead. If you are unaware, biking on roads and trails carries inherent risks. Risks include potential injury from cars, trees, the ground, other riders, dehydration, hypothermia, heat exhaustion, mechanical failures, etc.
Your involvement in group activities indicates that you understand these risks and acknowledge that you are responsible for your own health and well-being while participating in pre-/during/and post-ride activities related to this group.

Please do your best to be prepared for rides. Looking forward to riding together!
