Group Riding Guidelines (unchanged)

In an attempt to maintain some semblance of order and to ensure that we all have safety on our minds, the Board has approved a set of guidelines which all riders are expected to observe (the obvious and only caveat being "unless safety dictates otherwise"). Again, if you have any comments or sugestions, please pass them along.........

Get to your typewriters folks and start spurting out that prose, just like an old airhead cylinder head leaking oil.
