A weather-dependent Westside group ride sets out from the Rock River Marina parking lot after a brief overview and safety talk. Only CTC members have USAT supplemental insurance during sanctioned activities. Non-members are welcome to ride, and anyone behaving unsafely may be asked to stop. Helmets are required. Riders are asked to be comfortable on public roads and to know traffic laws, and newer cyclists are encouraged to complete a cycling skills clinic. Be visible with bright clothing and front and rear lights. Obey all signals and stop signs, keep brakes readily accessible rather than using an aero position, and avoid aggressive language or gestures toward drivers. Ride predictably, hold a straight line, and communicate clearly by calling out hazards, signaling when slowing, and using hand signals. If you notice unsafe riding, speak up. Ride at your own risk. Pace groups roll out in a staggered sequence. A group is for experienced riders and is a drop ride that builds speed on the way out and often ramps up on the return. B and C groups typically settle into moderate to brisk group speeds, set by the riders present that day. D group is a no-drop option for those newer to group riding or looking for an easier pace under 16 mph, with extra attention to paceline and bike-handling skills. If turnout is very small there may not be a D group. Speeds reflect the benefit of riding in a group rather than solo. Rides use a single paceline. Take a pull for an agreed distance or time, then rotate safely to the back on the left if you choose not to pull. When leading, hold the group’s target speed. If you need to ease off or leave the line, signal and do so safely, and let the group lead know rather than changing the pace at the front. Some riders head to Market afterward for food and drinks. For emergencies call 440-333-4911, and for other calls use 440-331-5530. Have fun.
