RULES

Events: FAQ

Riders are encouraged to wear OFC David Ortiz Cycling Team jersey but is not required to participate. Jerseys can be ordered and have them before memorial ride. The ride average speed will be 14-15 MPH, if you fall behind you must go in the sag wagon until the next stop, this is to ensure everyone's safety and to keep the whole group on schedule. It is our goal to have every rider make it to each stop station on their bike; however, being a unity ride, and a large group, we must remain together and keep an average pace. If a RIDE MARSHALL asks you to sag, please comply. In order to keep everyone safe, the MARSHALL will ask only twice before leaving you to finish on our own.

We will keep our stops to 10-20 minutes (depending on the needs of the group). For those who have not ridden in a unity style ride, this will be different from almost any ride you have participated in. Because of the uniqueness of this ride, we have some rules that EVERYONE must obey. We will be riding two-by-two with lead cyclists in front. DO NOT PASS the lead cyclists or request that the pace of the ride be changed The set pace ensures rider safety and will accommodate cyclists of various skill level while maintain unity within the group. HELMETS are requied

Ride two-by-two(unless otherwise instructed). DO NOT leave the lane for any reason. Police escorts will be passing on the left and we are NEVER allowed in their lane. No rider may hold onto any moving vehicle. Call out road hazards and notify fellow riders of slowing or stopping to ensure everyone's safety. If you encounter a mechanical or medical problem, pull onto the right shoulder and dismount your bike. The rider will have to sag until the next stop. Do not stop to pick up a dropped water bottle or any other item. This creates a serious safety issue. Any rider who falls below the ride pace will be asked to ride the sag until next rest stop. This MUST be honored for the safety of all participants. If there are any unexpected stops, all bicycles should be moved off the roadway or to the right of the roadway
