Ride Rules
      1. A “Ride Leader” and “Tail End Charlie” will be nominated for all official Club rides.
      2. Tail End Charlie will carry the Club’s tool kit and first aid kit on all official Club rides.
      3. Riding positions shall be staggered behind the Ride Leader and a safe riding distance of a least a two (2) second interval shall be observed between riders.
      4. Keep an eye out for the rider behind.  If she/he drops back, do the same so that by the time all riders in front have slowed down, the message will reach the Ride Leader that there may be trouble somewhere down the line.
      5. The rider immediately behind the Ride Leader will, at his discretion only where safe to do so, wait on corners out of the way of traffic with the appropriate turn signal flashing to indicate the route following riders are to take.
      6. Passing on the left is strictly prohibited.
      7. Members shall ride responsibly and observe all State road laws, speed limits and appropriate road craft for the riding conditions.
      8. Roads will not be monopolised to the detriment of other road users.
      9. Riders wishing to deviate or quit the ride midway must notify the Ride Leader or Tail End Charlie before leaving.
      10. Any rider who overtakes the Ride Leader will be deemed to have left the ride.
      11. A Club Register will be maintained by the organisers (or the Tour Master) for each official Club ride with details of:
        • Rider.
        • Pillion.
        • Next of Kin and contact telephone number.
        • Bike Registration number.

      Information for Visitors who ride with Club Virago
      All visitors are welcome to join club rides however here are a few important ride rules we use for safety and we ask that you also observe them.

      Briefly they are:

      1. STAGGER YOUR RIDE POSITION RELATIVE TO THE RIDER IN FRONT

      (THIS MEANS DON'T RIDE DIRECTLY BEHIND)
      ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(Kerb)

                    YOU                                                            RIDER
                                                   RIDER         
      ---   ---   ---   ---   ---   ---   ---   ---   ---   ---   ---   ---   ---   ---   ---   ---   (White Line)
      Allow about 3 seconds between riders You may need the extra distance In an emergency!!



    2. WAIT AT CORNERS If there is a rider behind and out of sight wait for him. When you see the next rider appear and the rider sees where you’re going you can go on. This especially applies if you are turning off to another road.

    3. DON’T PASS ON THE LEFT Under no circumstances pass on the Inside of another rider unless you are in a separate lane.

    4. DON’T PASS THE LEADER If you pass the leader you have left the ride and you’re on your own…….you get lost ………..tough!!

    IF YOU NEED A HAND WITH THE ABOVE ASK A MEMBER TO EXPLAIN
