Riding in a group requires you to follow certain procedures and guidelines in order to keep the rides safe, cohesive and enjoyable.

1. Arrive at the departure point with a FULL TANK of fuel. Fuel stops will be made as required along the way. The time given is the DEPARTURE time.

2. The ROAD CAPTAIN leads the group. DO NOT OVERTAKE him or her.

3. A motorcycle requires a FULL lane in which to operate safely. We ride in STAGGERED FORMATION not SIDE-BY-SIDE.

4. We use only ONE LANE of a multi-lane highway and that is the lane the Road Captain is using.

5. A rider will be nominated to ride at the rear of the group if there are insufficient Road Captains. It is his or her responsibility to ensure that the riders DO NOT GET LOST and to render ASSISTANCE if necessary.

6. The group as a whole MUST NOT STOP FOR AN INDIVIDUAL as it can be dangerous to have the whole group stop on the side of the road. The "Tail End" rider will give assistance.

7. When we do stop as a group, be sure to stop WELL OFF THE ROAD.

8. ALWAYS SIGNAL your intention to change lanes. KEEP A SAFE distance behind the next rider. Check in your MIRRORS often and CONCENTRATE on your riding.

9. If every rider can see the RIDER ahead of him or her, the group should not get split up. ADJUST YOUR SPEED to do so.

10. We ride AS A GROUP to and from our destination until we split up to go home. KEEP THE GROUP TOGETHER on the road, don't lag behind.

11. Riders and pillions are expected to wear STANDARDS APPROVED helmets.
