Club Run Briefing Notes (Important please read)
Below are a few notes intended to increase your enjoyment of the rides.
If you are new to cycling speak to any of the CCB riders for advice on fitness, bikes, position, clothing etc. We will be pleased to help.
Make Sure Your Bike is in Good Working Order
When riding in a group slipping gears, chains coming off etc can cause accidents. If you have any known faults with your bike get them fixed before coming out on a club run. Club members will do their best to resolve any mechanical faults experienced during a ride, but we are not professional cycle mechanics, so cannot take responsibility for any repairs conducted on the road.
What to Bring with You:
- Back pocket food (energy bars/bananas etc)
- Drink
- At least two inner tubes
- Tyre levers.
- Money to buy tea/coffee and something to eat at the café stop.
- Make sure you have identification on you (name, address and telephone number)
- Mobile phone
Dress Appropriately:
ˇ Remember that a number of thin layers are better than one thick layer
ˇ Bring a waterproof/shower proof top
ˇ A helmet is not compulsory but highly recommended
ˇ If it is really cold then gloves, overshoes and hat (helmet liner) are a must
Your Conduct and Behaviour:
You participate in the Cycle Club Basingstoke Club runs entirely at your own risk. The Club has a duty of care towards you. CCB members will offer appropriate instructions and advice on safety/road conditions during the rides.
The CCB will do all that is reasonable to ensure the safety of all riders.
The highway code must be observed at all times, by all riders, regardless of advice/instructions given.
Everyone?s safety depends on all riders acting responsibly.
Insurance:
Get your bike insured. The BC/CTC offer tailored packages.
We recommend that you join BC/CTC, so you can enjoy the third party/public liability insurance provision.
