L2 Tues and Thurs 2022 Schedule Dates - Work-in-Progress
(DO NOT EDIT OR DELETE. - Call Hazel @ 403-203-8118 if you are having problems)
Ride Leader Coordinator for L2 Tues and Thurs - Hazel B: - 403-203-8118
Leaders Wanted for L2 Tues and Thurs.
Please review the 2 schedules (Tues and Thurs) and then email or phone Hazel your plans for leading rides in 2022.
Thank you to all our volunteer leaders!
Please think about a possible route that you would like to scout and possibly lead. It would be really good if each scheduled leader contacts another leader to do exploratory rides with or share maps with to make it possible to split groups into smaller groups, if needed. If the second leader is comfortable with the ride directions the original leader does not have to be responsible for both groups to distinguish it from the original tandem ride. To make it easier to control walkie-talkies, it is still good to for both groups to start at the same location with possibly a different start time of 5 min. This will help us to train new leaders for routes. The more routes that leaders are familiar with the stronger our club will be!
It's great when you can lead the same ride on both Tues. and Thurs. Since some members ride either Tues or Thurs. It is good to schedule the identical rides on different weeks to accommodate members who are on holidays.
Our L2 rides will usually be between 30 - 40 km in length. Although this is sometimes stretched to allow our L2 riders to experience more varied rides
(Note - this schedule is not set in stone, each ride leader determines his/her final plans.
- Trips will be cancelled at each leader's discretion, due to poor weather such as rain, snow, high winds and/or cold temperatures.)
Please note that our L2 rides are very popular so it is very important to design a way to allow 20+ riders to have the opportunity to ride on both Tues and Thurs.
As scheduled leaders I ask for your cooperation in making this happen without me having spend so much time coordinating different rides from different starting locations.
Tues / Thurs AdHoc Rides - these rides may not exist this year. (We hope they are not necessary)
There may be times that we can move our scheduled ride to another day due to weather. We may consider those rides to be AdHoc rides.
L2 Scheduled Rides
Note - this year the scheduled leader with Hazel’s help has the responsibility to pick a second leader for his/her planned ride. This will make it possible to have smaller groups which it seems many leaders and riders prefer. The scheduled leader with Hazel’s help will split the group into 2 riding groups with second leader leaving 5 min. after first.
If there is no second leader found who can lead the route then we will use Tandem Riding Guidelines and the initial leader will be responsible for both groups.
Tandem Rides- One Big Group split into 2 Smaller Groups
- We will be allowing bigger main group of 20 or 24 riders. If the group is bigger than 15, it will be split up into 2 groups both with a leader and a sweep. The main leader knows the route and is responsible for both groups. The second leader manages intersections for Group 2 and ensures Group 2 stays together by keeping track of Sweep 2.
The second leader will call the Main Leader to stop if his/her group falls behind. Please refer to Tanden Ride Guidelines on how to implement this.
