What we expect from riders
Every rider SHOULD and MUST ride within their limits. If the group goes at a speed you don’t feel comfortable with, don’t attempt to keep up.
Go at your own pace. The sweeper will always be with you, and the group always stops at important points for everyone to regroup.
Never feel like you are holding the group back. We ride to enjoy our motorcycles among friends, and we want you to be safe.
- Safety meeting is mandatory before the ride
- Adhere to the indications given during the safety meeting
- No passing on the right side of the road
- Ride your own ride; don’t push beyond your comfort zone
