Breaking Up, Separated, Lost, Not Together, Rules of Safety

[Beach Leo]

Thought I would start this Tread

I would like every-one to participate

This issue is long over due and really needs to be addressed

We have noticed on a few rides that our Group Rides gets Broken up, Separated, Lost, or Not Together

I feel that we need to communicate and make some way-simple rules for everyone to follow and understand

So I will start with Rule #1 that every-one should follow

Rule #1 never leave the guy behind you, Always keep and eye out for them

When making a turn to another trail be polite and wait for-em so as they can see which way to go

Look in the rear-view mirror so often as to never lose-em

If you do loose sight of-em Stop and Wait

Turn off engine for a minute, you may hear-em

If none of that work make a U-Turn and back-track your route and find-em, They may-be in the Need of Help

Never leave a rider behind

Believe me there is nothing more satisfying than helping out a fellow rider

Please add more Rule to Keep us all together and safe

Thank-You

It helps to have radios also even if it's 5watt..however we need more with 50 watt also..

Doing a vehicle count at every stop. We could have very easily left the yellow commander, if we didnt

I was amazed how far the 50 watt traveled..Russell was in camp and could listen to our conversation and Mavericks4me2 could hear a lot of our conversation going over to trinity and they were hanging closer to camp

with my 5 watt i could hear them but that was about it

I'm just glad I realized you and Ed weren't with us..

Radios may help to fix a problem that has already occurred. But with ZERO exceptions, if the group gets separated, the last guy in the front group made an inexcusable mistake. As Leo said, ALWAYS keep track of the guy behind you (I rarely go more than half a mile without a visual on the guy behind me). Headlights on helps.

If I'm riding and it's really dusty I maybe a few minutes behind, if I get to a split and don't know which way to go, I will wait till the next car comes , and hopefully they know the way to go, I know nobody like riding in the rear, but would be helpful to have someone take up the rear that also knows the route we would be traveling.

this is a tough one we seem to always have this problem, I learned one thing from Leo last year that is it's a 100+ mile ride if you are not sure if you can make the whole trip on fuel bring some and put it in at lunch that way you will not have an issue
