RIDE CALENDARPlease Note In an endeavour to facilitate riders of different styles, Tamar Tourers will trial the splitting of riding groups into ‘touring’ and ‘leisure’ groups, with each group following the same route. Each group is to employ normal riding protocols such as adhering to speed limits, utilising ride leaders and tail-end charlies and corner marking. Please do not panic if you find that you have been nominated to lead a ride. All such nominations are subject to your approval and if by some chance you are unable to or would prefer not to lead that particular ride just let the Ride Coordinator, Philip McGee, know and he will make other arrangements. It would be great if we could share the load of keeping the Club’s programme running smoothly. Once again, your participation as a Ride Leader is completely up to you. |

AS WE HAVE NUMEROUS RIDE LEADERS (SOME FIRST TIMERS) IT IS
VERY IMPORTANT (AND COURTEOUS) TO GIVE THEM A QUICK TELEPHONE CALL TO LET THEM
KNOW THAT YOU’LL BE COMING ALONG
We believe the following promotes safe and enjoyable riding for
all:
·
Start
every ride with a full tank of fuel
N.B.
Any person who participates in Ulysses Club Inc. activities does so
entirely at his or her own risk and no responsibility will be accepted by the
Ulysses Club Inc., its office bearers or any member, for injury to persons or
property however sustained. Members who
invite persons to participate in club activities undertake to inform them of
this condition.
Dual Sport rides will contain gravel sections; they have been introduced to cater
for the growing number of riders that own that type of bike but also
for the great roads that lead to and away from areas that we don’t normally go
near. Many road bikes have the ability to handle gravel roads, it is up to you
if you wish to participate in these rides.
They kick off at 9.30am to stop confusion with the traditional rides
but also if there are not enough riders to make it worth while then hang around
for half hour and go with normal riders.
