Recurring rides do not have Ride Leaders, only a Point of Contact. Points of Contact do not provide maps, provide mechanical assistance, sweep the course, and may not necessarily attend the ride. If you are new to a standing ride, please alert others in the group. Be courteous to new riders who may not know the course, calling turns well in advance or pointing out road hazards. As with any Spring City Cycling Club ride, helmets are required. If anyone has any question about a recurring ride they may contact the POC, or the Club Rides Captain.
