SABERS Marshals.
At the pre-ride briefing riders will be made aware of the Ride Leader, Tail End Charlie and the Marshals.

• Ride Leader and Tailend Charlie wear ORANGE HI-VIS VESTS.
• Ride Marshals, AKA Corner Marshals wear YELLOW HI-VIS VESTS.
• Everyone is to stay between the Ride Leader and Tailend Charlie.
• At corners & other places of possible directional confusion the ride leader will clearly identify to the Corner Marshal/s where they are to stop and direct riders to turn.  Once all the riders have gone past and Tailend Charlie arrives, the Corner Marshal/s will re-join the ride.
• The Corner Marshal will head forwards to the front of the ride passing where safe.  They will also pass on ride information to the ride leader when necessary.
• Riders are to keep an eye out for Corner Marshals returning to the front and allow them to pass safely.

SABERS rides differ to some other clubs/organisations as we organise the Corner Marshals.  This allows riders to just turn up and go for a ride and enjoy just that …..Riding

Riders.

• Before going out for a ride make sure you are appropriately licensed and your bike is registered & roadworthy.  Wear appropriate protective clothing.
• When riding on an organised ride, work with the group not against them, it will make for a more enjoyable ride for everyone.
• Know your abilities and the capabilities of your bike.  Don’t fool yourself as that’s when accidents happen.
• Pick a place within the group where you feel safe and ride at your pace.
• Use your mirrors and when another rider wants to pass just move over and let them pass.  Don’t feel pressured to speed up and go beyond your ability.
• Only ride in staggered formation on straight roads with good visibility otherwise ride as a solo rider with the usual 3 second gap in front and in the appropriate lane.
• If you are overtaking do so when safe and appropriate.  Move over to the right of the other rider, not the inside!!  Obey all road rules.
• There will always be riders of different abilities on different capacity motorcycles so please be courteous to everyone so we all get to the same destination at much the same time.

In short the SABERS rides have been set up for riders and pillions to turn up and just ride.  They do not have to work on the day.  If for any reason they are at the front and do stop to marshal, their place at the earliest convenience will be filled by a SABERS Corner Marshal and they will be able to join back into the ride.

SABERS just want to go riding and want to spread that enjoyment to everyone that turns up to these rides or any SABERS event.

We welcome all riders/pillions of all ride abilities and capacity bikes.
