NO-DROP: This means NO ONE will be left on their own. It is best to have a leader and a sweep person on a no-drop ride. These are suggested ways to address a no-drop ride:
SEMI-DROP: On a semi-drop ride, regroup points will be designated by the leader. These should usually be at turns, at water and/or food stops, and the tops or bottoms of hills. The ride leader should assess the skill levels of the riders in the group and insure that EVERYONE makes it through the ride safely and no one rides a significant part of the ride on their own. The leader does not leave the regroup point until all riders have arrived. If a significant amount of time passes, the leader (or designated person) back tracks to make sure the missing rider/riders are ok.
DROP: On a drop ride, everyone who joins should make sure they know the route before the ride begins. The leader needs to reiterate that the ride is a drop ride. Riders may or may not stop to assist in the event of a mechanical or flat tire. We encourage the leader to provide assistance to people in the group.
