Meeting (9:30-11:00)- This is an important meeting to discuss this year's ambitious ride schedule.  

Agenda:

• The weekly schedule for Road, Gravel and MTB schedule
• Saturday Signature Rides (posted rides for A, B, C & D +Ride leaders)
• Ride group need/communication (D's, more verbal? C's, less verbal more hand signals?  B's, primarily hand signals. A's = Dog Fight!). 
• Ride Submission form 
• Finding routes within the Ride with GPS Library (Collections).
• 50K, 100K & 100 Mile Clubs
• Open discussion

Ride scenarios  include:

• Pre-ride introductions. (example: leader intro, pace & stops).
• Rider Responsibility: Bike & rider ready to roll " RTR" & Download the routes!
• Roll at the appointed time (respect those that showed up on time).
• Hand signals (including turns, stops, road obstacles & potholes).
• Leading at the "Advertised Pace."
• heavy traffic
• crossing highways
• regrouping
• hills/breakaways
• mechanical/medical
• pace line management (Roll left, pass on right).
• roundabout negotiation (1, 2 or 3rd exit. No "take a left").

We will send Ride leader guidelines prior to the ride.  The COW's website also has ride leader guidelines on the website.
