Point and call out potholes and other hazards to riders in the group, especially when on the front. Use hand signals and pass the information down through the group.\u0026nbsp;Typical calls include hole (pot hole), car front (coming towards the group), car back (behind), passing (vehicle); (hazard) on your left / right; easy (slow down), single out (adopt a single line) or change (riders rotate one place in the group).\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDo not ride erratically or brake sharply in the group unless absolutely necessary, ensure that you have room to move to the side of the rider in front in the event of a rapid slow down.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBe aware that a slowing group often gets wider. Always look ahead past the riders in front and try to anticipate slowing.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIf stopping for puncture, mechanical problems or a rest, make the group aware and get everyone completely off the road and wait in a safe place.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eKeep you pace steady, ride conservatively and consistently.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eWhen changing lines at the front, do so smoothly and avoid accelerating too hard when moving to the front from the second rider inline.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eTry to avoid overlapping the wheel in front.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDo not “Half-Wheel” – this is where the rider at the front of the inside line keeps or increases pace with the outside line preventing the rider on the outside line from coming through easily. This increases the pace of the group.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBe aware of riders who may be struggling or who have been dropped and communicate this to the group so you can slowdown and wait.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDo not use clip on tri bars or TT bikes in group rides. You do not have adequate braking control when using TT bars and they are dangerous in the event of a crash.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDo not use mobile phones or earphones when riding\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eTreat all other road users with respect and pay particular attention to pedestrians and horses.
