About Saftey and Stuff
If you haven't yet, read the Rulez of the Ride. You should also read Bicycling Street Smarts for more information about riding safely. Be curtious to drivers, pedestrians and other Ridazz. Stay in the right lane except when preparing to turn left. Help people who have bike trouble. Have a Ride Buddy - if you don't come with a ride buddy, ask someone to be your ride buddy when you arrive, and exchange cell phone #'s (if you have one).
Can I help out with this ride?
Yes, you sure can! We need people who can bring up the rear to make sure no one gets left behind.
