Rides are a great way to engage with our community and enjoy scootering, and we can't have them without ride leaders, so thank you! This page is here to make some of the details easier for you. If there is more we could do, please get in touch!
All riders, including pillions, must sign the waiver prior to each ride. You can have them scan this QR code or send them to bit.ly/VCDCwaiver.
Even if you think most of the group has been on group rides before, please give at least an abbreviated briefing. Why? We want VCDC to be a safe and welcoming for everyone, and that means giving new or less experienced group riders the support they need to feel comfortable. Also, you never know what they heard or didn't hear last time. And you may have some particular features of your ride you want them to know about.
This script is intended to make it easy for you remember everything. You certainly do not need to read it verbatim.
"We ride in staggered formation so that people have room to brake and maneuver, but we stay together and cars cannot come in and break up the group. It works like this:" [Getting riders to demonstrate is recommended]
"We use some hand and foot signals to give each other information. When you see these, typically you will repeat them to people behind you."
