To maintain safety on the road and to be respectful of motorists the following simple set of guidelines are asked to be followed:

• Yellow Line rule on two lane roads must be obeyed. (NEVER EVER to be crossed)
• White Line rule when we have ample shoulder or an adequate bike must be obeyed.
• Broken Line rule, we do not take up more than one lane except when safely transitioning for a left turn.
• Slower riders in the Free Ride sections should move to the far right to allow faster riders to go by on the left.
• 2x2 Paceline at all other times. No wheel overlapping of the rider in front.
• The ride will "NOT" stop for flats. If you are with a friend that flats, we suggest that you stop and ride in with them. Be sure to know the route and how to short cut or get back and how to change a flat.
