RIDE ETIQUETTE: NEW RIDERS WELCOME! Be sociable with new folks. If
you're at the front early on, KNOW THE ROUTE and please look back to
see that the group is together (three souls gasping for air is not
considered a group). Paceline when possible, wait at tops of longer
climbs. Rolling regroups after difficult sections. Help people with
mechanicals if you're in their vicinity, and RELAY the message to the front.
Try to stay together. Let someone know if you are going to drop off
BEFORE THE RIDE or continue to the regroup area.

PLEASE, keep a manageable pace after the regroups and difficult sections. DO NOT
race back to Peet's, let's use the last few miles to recover from the ride, and
take the chance and exchange few words with the person riding by your side!

Hold a wheel and ride steady. Pack riding skills required. At the
regroups make sure stop off the road keeping it clear for traffic.
