ARC benefits from the generosity of our sponsors such as Garry Appleby. Check out Garry the Plumber’s new website.
As the author of Riding Etiquette 101, I thought it appropriate that I should share some of my learnings.
I will from time to time update this blog (“no seriously what is a blog” name did not make it past the sensor so… I changed its name.
Sometimes, I will invite comment from an engage and concerned rider to give you different perspectives.
The first item that arose regarding riding etiquette recently is at best disturbing:
How should on drink from a bidon in order to avoid showering the following rider(s) with fluid (being it from the bidon or ..shudder.. the mouth?
My strong recommendation is that you should never shower following riders with fluid, even as a joke! Â Doing it accidentally is offensive doing it deliberately is an etiquette “fox pass”.
Thus ensure one only opens the bidon cap just before drinking and that one should swallow before breathing out. Further one must close the bidon cap immediately.
However, if one is drafting Shaun, that is not from his bidon, so sorry. Â Do not draft Shaun.
ARC Hills October 2017
There was a nice turnout for the Dandenong’s at the weekend as many of us tried to build up that core strength that we may have lost over the winter. Some even returned on the Sunday to make a full weekend of climbing.
Dry, Sunny weather made for some excellent conditions. The gravel roads were nicely formed making for some smooth riding.
Even my hills physique enjoyed it.
Looking forward to many more weekends like this as we move into summer.
I attach some pictures of the weekend below, please feel free to add more.
Here is some more images from the second group.
