BEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE ARTIE LEVIN MEMORIAL RIDE

Posted by pdl4fun On 09/29/2008 At 12:57:51

THANK YOU!

What an amazing weekend! Your efforts to help those living with multiple sclerosis and to honor Artie Levin are a success!

Instead of letting the rainy weather get you down, you rose to the challenge and enjoyed a weekend of cycling and volunteering with friends (some old, some new) to help the 3,000 people in the Blue Ridge chapter living with MS.

We are so proud of you and hope that you enjoyed the weekend as much as we did!

GUIDELINES FOR AN ENJOYABLE AND SAFE RIDE

Posted by pdl4fun On 06/30/2008 At 16:12:35

Just as ride leaders have a responsibility for the rides and riders they lead, riders have a responsibility to both the ride leader and the cycling community at large to ride in a responsible manner. This includes:
-Read the ride description and be familiar with the basics of the route
-Be able to ride at the posted average pace
-Communicate any issues you may have in regards to the route, or needing to cut off early, etc. prior to the ride
-Bring proper tools to take care of common on the ride issues (pump, spare tube, tire levers, etc)
-Point out road hazards to your fellow riders whether through hand signals or voice communication
-Follow traffic laws in a safe manner:
—Ride no more than double file and move into single file when there’s traffic behind
—Yield to traffic behind
—Don't run stoplights and stop signs
—Don't ride the wrong way down one way streets
“RIDE VEHICULARLY”
