group rides

Great roads and even better bikes are key ingredients for an enjoyable ride, but the most critical factor is being comfortable and confident with your fellow riding partners.

The first key to riding harmony is communication among the riders. Don't be shy about initiating a discussion, setting the guidelines before the ride begins. Make sure everyone knows the final destination and the route to get there. Solicit comments from everyone; don't behave like a drill sergeant.

Once you're rolling, the biggest communication factor will be visual: always know where the other riders are and what they are doing.

(YBL Comment: We love riding with friends but it's very important to remember to continue to "ride your own ride")
