Ride Out Days

If you enjoy biking you'll be overflowing with happiness when you join a CWAM Ride Out where members hit the open road en mass (to be honest, generally less than 12) and head for the hills and/or  coast.  Journeys usually range from 250 - 300 miles although over enthusiasm has clocked up in excess of 400 miles on the odd occasion. The diverse and exotic destinations that CWAM are visiting in the near future are listed in the Events Diary. 

Generally riders meet at Kestrel Motors (104-108 Holbrook Lane, Coventry CV6 4BH) for a PROMPT departure at 9:00 (but check the Events Diary). Those arriving at 9:05 will be on their own. 

For associates, the great thing about Ride Out Days is that they see experienced bikers in action and learn by example without necessarily realising it. For full members, there're a good excuse to eat up the miles with their mates. Everyone's a winner. All rides are planned and pre-checked by a volunteer organiser who leads the group on a route that ensures great biking. Convenient interim stops for petrol and a breather supplement the longer half way stop at the day's destination. With interesting places to visit and good company a fine day is ensured whatever the weather.

 

The following notes are intended as guidance whilst participating in any Group event /ride out. 

  • Safety is paramount, ride with discipline and restraint. 

  • You are responsible for your own actions.

  • You should ride within your own capability at all times.

  • You must exercise your own judgement.

  • You MUST obey the Road Traffic Laws and follow the Highway Code.

  • You should know who the lead and tail riders are.

  • If the rider behind you disappears from your mirrors, slow down or stop.

  • You should consider waiting at a junction as a marker for following riders.

  • Once a riding order has been established, it is not good practice to overtake within the group.

  • Try to ride in staggered formation in towns and dual carriageways.

  • Inform the run leader if you decide to leave the ride out.

  • Try not to be critical of other riders within the group, not everyone is as perfect as you!
