HRC RIDE-OUT RULES
Dead mans drop!
1.
 Before a ride-out the leader will give a quick run down of the rules and give the channel for any bike-to-bike radios.
2.
 The leader will control the speed of the ride out and stay within the speed limits.

3.

 The ride-out leader and 'Tail End Charley' (TEC) will wear yellow jackets, to make them easily distinguishable.
4.
 At junctions and round-abouts the leader will indicate to the second rider to stop and indicate the route to the pack.
5.
 Following riders will stay on the road ahead until they see a rider indicating a turn and/or an exit from a roundabout.
6.
 The stationary rider will wait for TEC to indicate the turn and then rejoin the pack in front of TEC.
7.
 The stationary rider will wait for TEC to arrive, however long this is. The reason is that if there is a break down or puncture the message that something is wrong will move up the pack to the leader. If bike-to-bike radios are available the leader will get the message quicker.
8.
 If anybody does not wish to be 'dropped off', then when they are near to the front wave past the riders behind, in other words do not become the second rider.
9.
 These rules are in addition to the Highway Code and Road Traffic Law, not a substitution.
This method controlling a ride-out means that everybody can ride within their comfort zone without the fear of being left behind or getting lost. Everybody will know that if they lose sight of the person in front there will be someone waiting at the next junction.
Because everybody changes position in the pack then it follows that there will be some overtaking but keeping this to minimum will make the ride-out run smoother.
