Your Saturday 18 January or Sunday 19 January – 60-90 Minute Road Ride
It’s time to hit the road and get those wheels spinning!
Cycling on open roads can be exhilarating, but it’s important to stay vigilant and aware of your surroundings.
Here are some key things to watch out for:
- Traffic: Always be aware of cars, trucks, and other vehicles. Use hand signals to indicate your intentions and make eye contact with drivers when possible.
- Road Conditions: Look out for potholes, debris, gravel, and uneven surfaces that could cause you to lose control.
- Weather: Be prepared for sudden changes in weather. Wet or icy roads can be particularly hazardous.
- Pedestrians and Animals: Keep an eye out for pedestrians, especially in urban areas, and be cautious of animals that might dart into the road.
- Intersections and Driveways: These are common spots for accidents. Slow down and be extra cautious when approaching intersections and driveways.
- Other Cyclists: If you’re riding in a group, maintain a safe distance and communicate with fellow riders about obstacles and changes in pace.
- Visibility: Wear bright clothing and use lights, especially if you’re riding early in the morning or late in the evening.
- Hydration and Nutrition: Keep yourself hydrated and fuelled, especially on longer rides. Dehydration and low energy can affect your focus and performance.
Stay safe and enjoy your ride!
