Durban...

Thursday: Morning Circuits (ABSA Stadium - Durban)
This is an old ride that has many years of history behind it, it is not a club specific ride. Everyone meets down on the Circuit opposite ABSA stadium, its fast so bring your race legs. The advice is, ride down onto the circuit and ride around slowly until one of the groups catches you, if you feel the group is too fast then drop out the back of the group and wait for the next one, there is always about 4 or 5 groups going around, find the one that suits you best and enjoy.

A Guide to a Successful Club Ride Marshalling

Thursday, 03 December 2009 17:19

Due to the large numbers of members at Cycle Lab Supercycling Club, it is imperative for the safety of club members to have Marshalled Rides on Saturday mornings.

The marshals are drawn from two groups: the Race Team Members and Volunteers.

No matter that there are Marshals and Think Bike marshals on the club rides, the Club also relies on its Members to take responsibility for themselves and that of the clubs code of conduct, whilst on a club ride.

The following are guidelines (and some rules) for marshalling a ride. Should you have any suggestions, please forward them to the Club committee!
