THE
LAY-OFF SYSTEM FOR GROUP RIDING.
WE USE THIS SYSTEM
THE LEAD BIKE WILL INDICATE
A POSITION FOR THE BIKE BEHIND TO PULL OVER AS A DIRECTION MARKER FOR THE
GROUP. PLEASE STOP AT THE POSITION INDICATED TO BY
THE LEAD BIKE
This is normally done by pointing to an area on the
road where the Marker Bike is to stop. This bike acts as a direction marker
for the rest of the group USING HAND SIGNALS
ONLY, turn off indicators. ALL THE GROUP
PASS THE DIRECTION MARKER BIKE, WHEN THE TAIL-END BIKE ARRIVES THE MARKER
BIKE PULLS AWAY IN FRONT OF THE TAIL-END BIKE AND FOLLOWS THE GROUP TO THE
NEXT DIRECTION MARKER BIKE. This system works even if the group is broken-up
in traffic, as the marker bike
MUST always
remain in place until the TAIL END BIKE arrives.
THE LEAD BIKE AND TAIL END BIKE WILL HAVE YELLOW
REFLECTIVE OVER JACKETS
SUSPENDED

Hi, re 4181, due to my continuing health difficulties I am suspending the
monthly runs until the spring, it is with great regret but once my projected
treatment takes place things should return to normal,
Kindest regards and stay safe, Paul
Sunday 20th August run to Calbourne
Water Mill
Welcome to new acquaintances. Lovely sunshine and warm breezes brought out
twelve club members and their bikes for this month`s meeting. We headed
for Newport and on the dual carriageway jostled for position in the traffic.
It was rider`s poetry watching you all dissolve back into the traffic flow
as you passed St. Mary`s hospital. We turned off at Northwood and rode through
to rural Porchfield, passing the recently re-opened Sportsman`s Rest pub
! After Yarmouth, we headed for Freshwater and turned east on the middle
road for a rapid dash to take tea at Calbourne Mill. We are always well
received there and the gates were once again held open welcoming us to park
up. No bun fights this week so we all enjoyed the refreshments on offer
and our club`s members company. Stay safe till our next meeting, Steve,
tail end Charlie.
(Just
a note, whenever you are the laid off person make sure you stop where you
can be seen)
AND AT THE POINT THE LEADER HAS INDICATED BY HAND
(Quick
Note: please do not use indicators when in the lay off position, if you
are stopped with your right hand indicator going it will confuse other road
users when approaching your position, please use your arms to indicate to
others in the group which way to go).
