VERY IMPORTANT RIDE INFORMATION

COME EARLY-- BELLY FULL -- BLADDER EMPTY -- GAS TANK FULL

Attention!  Ride Rule for 2009.
 
In the past riders have showed complete disregard for the safety of everyone by pulling out from the side of the road and forcing their way into the ride.  This caused accidents with riders going down.  This happened at several locations, and we were very lucky that someone wasn't hurt very seriously.  This kind of behavior by a few riders forces us to make stricter rules for everyone.
 
Sorry, but we can no longer invite you to join the ride any where along the route. You MUST join the ride only at designated points.
 
Law enforcement will issue tickets for failure to yield and reckless endangerment should you try to force your way into the formation.   We request everyone's support on this issue.  It will make a better and safer ride for all participants. 
 
Thanks for your cooperation
 

JOIN THE RIDE AT DESIGNATED STOPS ONLY ! ! ! !  Do Not jump into a gap in the ride as it is moving.

THIS RIDE IS POLICE ESCORTED ALL THE WAY
Police escorts are the ONLY road guards. Leave together and KEEP UP WITH THE PACK.  If you leave gaps, cars will enter and separate the pack. You will NOT be protected by Police Escorts if you separate from the ride.  

You will NOT be protected by Police Escorts if you are behind our  trailing vehicle or separate from the ride.   The trailing vehicle will have a banner designating the vehicle as the end of the ride.  If you are behind this vehicle, you may join the ride by safely passing this vehicle and joining the ride.

STAY IN THE RIGHT LANE and RIDE STAGGER OR SIDE BY SIDE
The left lane is for police escorts – STAY OUT OF IT ! ! ! ! ! !

HELMETS ARE REQUIRED
Please wear your helmet at all times on this ride. They are required by state law in Tennessee and Alabama.

NO DRUGS OR ALCOHOL
This is a non-alcohol ride, please do not bring alcohol with you.

NO WATER HANDOUTS OR HIGH FIVES WITH SPECTATORS
This is simply asking for trouble. There are TOO MANY bikes on this ride close together. A small wreck could spell major troubles and injuries.

Ride At Your Own Risk

2010 Ride September 18th - always the 3rd Saturday of September
