Covid-19 Ride Restrictions

• Rides are limited to club members only

• Proper social distancing of at least 6 feet should always be maintained at the start and during the ride, including rest stops, red lights, stop signs, “mechanical” stops, etc. Where this is not possible, face coverings (masks, Buffs, neck gaiters, etc.) should be worn and “up".

• No more than 10 people in a group ride; If more than 10 show up for the same ride, two or more separate rides should go out.

• Cyclists riding single file should ride at least 2 bike lengths (12 feet) apart, whenever possible. Close-up pace lining is not safe and disallowed. Side-by-side riding should maintain a minimum of 4 feet of separation. You should not ride side-by-side on a busy road.  

• Riders must follow local rules posted at bathroom and rest stops.

• Riders should consider ride distances in terms of limited availability of rest rooms and food stops.
