Communication
Communication is key to riding safely as a group. If you are riding close behind someone you will have limited visibility. It’s therefore essential to let people know of potential hazards in front or behind the goup, changes in speed, or other group dynamics
Here are the main verbal and hand signals we use to communicate as a group on our Club Rides.
Rememeber: Always repeat every call or signal you hear or see. This relays the message to the rest of the group and confirms you’ve received the call (like “oui chef” in a kitchen)

LEFT TURN
SLOWING

HAZARD AHEAD PULL OUT TO THE RIGHT
HOLE / HAZARD - WATCH OUT!
