🚴‍♂️ RIDE SMART, RIDE SAFE: GROUP RIDING ETIQUETTE

Riding in a large group for the first time can be daunting, but a little communication goes a long way!

To keep the #EtapeLochNess experience smooth for everyone, remember the golden rule: LOOK, THINK, COMMUNICATE. 🗣️👀

Here is how to be a pro in the pack:

➡️ Keep Left: Think of it like a motorway. Stay left unless you are overtaking. Always check over your shoulder before moving out!
➡️ Be Predictable: No sudden swerves or erratic braking. Maintain a steady line so the riders behind you stay safe.
➡️ Call It Out: Riders in the middle can’t always see what’s coming.
➡️ If you need to get off your bike on Glendoe, always walk on the left allowing as much space as possible for riders to pass to the right.

Let’s look out for each other and enjoy the ride! 🦕⛰️
