RIDE CALENDAR

Please Note

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, Tony Benneworth, 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.

Don't forget: PLease notify the ride leader if you plan to leave the ride early.

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

 

Tamar Tourers Riding Etiquette

We believe the following promotes safe and enjoyable riding for all:

·        Look out for the rider behind, ride at your own pace

·         Always maintain the 3 second spacing rule

·         Start every ride with a full tank of fuel

·         We also ask riders to contribute a gold coin donation for Tamar Tourers Branch

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.
