Our
meetings are held on the 3rd Sunday of the month
WHERE
POSSIBLE PLEASE RIDE IN A STAGGERED FORMATION. THIS GIVES RIDERS A BETTER
VIEW OF THE ROAD AND THE GROUP WILL TAKE UP LESS ROOM ON THE ROAD
When riding as a group keep close together, when stopping - side by side please,
move off together in pairs always leave room for another bike next to yours.
Roundabouts, group-up in pairs, go round in pairs. This will reduce the chance
of a rider having to take risks to keep up, or the group getting split up,
always, if you stop, make sure there is room on the right of your bike for
another bike and rider.

THE
LAY-OFF SYSTEM FOR GROUP RIDING.
WE USE THIS SYSTEM
THE LEAD BIKE WILL INDICATE
A POSITION FOR THE BIKE BEHIND TO PULL OVER AS A DIRECTION MARKER FOR THE
GROUP. PLEASE STOP AT THE POSITION INDICATED TO BY
THE LEAD BIKE
This is normally done by pointing to an area on the
road where the Marker Bike is to stop. This bike acts as a direction marker
for the rest of the group USING HAND SIGNALS
ONLY, turn off indicators. ALL THE GROUP
PASS THE DIRECTION MARKER BIKE, WHEN THE TAIL-END BIKE ARRIVES THE MARKER
BIKE PULLS AWAY IN FRONT OF THE TAIL-END BIKE AND FOLLOWS THE GROUP TO THE
NEXT DIRECTION MARKER BIKE. This system works even if the group is broken-up
in traffic, as the marker bike
MUST always
remain in place until the TAIL END BIKE arrives.
THE LEAD BIKE AND TAIL END BIKE WILL HAVE YELLOW
REFLECTIVE OVER JACKETS

Sunday
19th June Run to Calbourne Water Mill
After a few scattered morning rain showers, 14 bikes met in better weather
for this month's meeting. We had a good run to Ventnor, then Whitwell, passing
the spectacular Ventnor/Niton coast line on our left. We then surged up
the Military Road to Brighstone and skittered over the green and wooded
down to Calbourne Mill. Having missed last month's meet due to poor weather,
many notes and much chatter were exchanged over scrumptious tea and cakes
! and as we left, one or two newer machines were enviously admired. Stay
well and safe till next month, Steve (tail end Charlie).
(Safety
note, execute your turn then please semaphore/trafficator/indicator, thank
you)
(Just
a note, whenever you are the laid off person make sure you stop where you
can be seen)
AND AT THE POINT THE LEADER HAS INDICATED BY HAND
(Quick
Note: please do not use indicators when in the lay off position, if you
are stopped with your right hand indicator going it will confuse other road
users when approaching your position, please use your arms to indicate to
others in the group which way to go).
