SCCCC Club Ride Policy
The SCCCC Board of Directors recently revised the club’s Rides Policy. This means that the following information applies to all members, whether they are leading a ride or participating in a ride.
Ride leaders may wait for all riders to re-group at points along the way. They will try to assist you with minor mechanical problems, such as a flat tire. (Riders should still try to be self-supporting.) The ride leader reserves the right to ask anyone who is discourteous to a fellow rider, or who is endangering the safety of the group to leave the ride.
