The executive board of your Stark County Bicycle Club voted
to open the club ride schedule for group riding.
Members,
Below are the guidelines that must be followed if we are to maintain an active ride schedule.
Your safety and well-being depend upon adherence to these guidelines.
The steps defined below are simple and straightforward, so let's all do our part to keep everyone safe and enjoying what we love doing.
-
Pre-ride - Sign-up must be done by all riders. The ride sheet acts as a waiver and is necessary for the protection of all parties associated with the Stark County Bicycle Club.
Riders can use their own pen for signing in and should wear a mask when doing so. Riders can wear gloves to achieve the sign-in or utilize hand sanitizer once they have completed this task.
-
Pre-ride socialization - riders must wear a mask and maintain 6 ft. social distancing.
-
Riding - In keeping with group size limitations within Ohio, rides groups will be kept to the State guidelines of no more than 10 persons per gathering.
If more than 10 riders attend the ride, they must be broken down into smaller groups to be started at intervals determined by the ride leader.
Please note that masks are not required to be worn while riding.
-
Spacing - Riders will maintain a minimum of 6 ft. of separation from other riders. It is highly recommended that spacing between riders be well in excess of 6 ft.
-
Ride Breaks - On longer rides requiring break stops, riders are encouraged to maintain the 6 ft. social distancing and to wear their masks unless consuming snacks or refreshments.
-
After Ride Socializing - After ride socializing is up to individual riders but should be done while wearing a mask and maintaining the 6 ft. social distancing spacing.
-
Precautions - All ride riders are urged to stay home if they are experiencing any symptoms that might be associated with Covid 19, such as a fever, coughing, difficulty in breathing,
or just not feeling well in general. It is also imperative that all riders bring a mask and hand sanitizer to rides. These items can easily be fitted in seat packs or jersey pockets,
and are essential for rider protection.
-
Ride leaders will relay these guidelines either verbally or in written form to any non-members or guests who wish to participate on a Stark County Bicycle Ride.
