Ride Requirements

Torrens Valley Ride Requirements

1. Ride Leader: brief riders, where ride is going, where the breaks are going to be and who is Tail-end Charlie (TEC). If the destination is not a well-known location, Ride Leader to supply all riders with a destination address and your phone number. If you are meeting up with other riders at other stops, re-brief ride so that everyone knows what is going on and who Tail-end Charlie is.

2. Corner Marshals to remain on corners until Tail-end Charlie arrives and flashes you; join just in front of TEC. Remember who you are following before you do your corner marshal duty, and when they go past Tail-end Charlie should be following them shortly. If they don’t go past something is wrong. Wait on corner until someone arrives.

3. Tail-end Charlie (TEC) to wear fluro vest and flash lights at corner marshals. Slow down and let corner marshal join in front of you.

4. If there is a problem (break down or accident ) Tail-end Charlie should assess situation and continue where possible as soon as they can.

5. If a rider has run out fuel leave them to their own devices. They should have started with a full tank of fuel, and they should know the destination if they were listening to the riders brief.

6. Riders responsibility. Start with a full tank of fuel. Keep your bike well maintained. Get to the start point before departure time and listen to ride brief from the ride leader.

7. Only Tail-end Charlie should wear fluro vest. If you wish to wear a fluro vest when riding you should stay just in front of Tail-end Charlie.

8. Only bikes, spiders or trikes to be Tail-end Charlie. If you wish to follow the ride in a car you should follow

behind Tail-end Charlie.
