Myrtle Beach Cycling - Rider Leader Guidelines

Have a route in mind based on weather and traffic conditions.
1. If wind is out of the north: The 38th Ave ride typically rides north to Barefoot and or NMB.
2. If wind is out of the south: Typical route is the Moose Lodge loop via Grissom Pkwy, Harrelson Blvd, Business 17, Farrow Pkwy, etc.
3. Some other defined route which you can easily explain.
Make sure everyone has a helmet. No helmet, no ride.
Introduce yourself to riders you don’t recognize or suspect may not be familiar with the area.
1. If someone is obviously out of their league, the leader should suggest an alternative easier route.
Brief all riders on the proposed route, mileage and pace.
1. Have bail-out points should anyone have time constraints.
Advise riders of sprint lines, bridges and subsequent re-group areas.
Check the group after all intersections and turns to make sure the gruppo is compacto.
If someone falls off the pace; check to see if they need help getting home.
