Here are the basic rules for our club rides...
Ride your own ride at your own pace. Really. We meet at the shop. Everyone gets a map. Before everyone takes off, the rules are made clear to everyone... here is the basics...
This is not a led ride. We are not riding in any type of formation. Ride your own ride at your own pace. Everyone had a map or knows exactly where we are going. See you there. You are responsible only yourself. Do not ride faster than you are comfortable with.
If the other gals that show up (the non RAT club members) decide that they want to ride in their silly parade formation, fine. But, that absolutley does not mean anyone else should at all ever. It's just more proof that HD riders are sheeple.
One more thing, on our TRAP rides, nobody is really leading. Yes, we have someone that is in charge of that ride, but on the road there is no real leader. RIDE YOUR OWN RIDE AT YOUR OWN PACE!!!!
