Milford Velo Club Etiquette

🟢 Before the Ride

• Be on time – We roll at the scheduled time. Arrive early to prep.

• Bring the essentials – Helmet, hydration, nutrition, flat kit, charged lights, and good vibes.

• Check your bike – Safety check (ABC: Air, Brakes, Chain) before every ride.

⸻

🟡 During the Ride

• Call it out – Announce potholes, gravel, cars, and slowing/stopping.

• Ride two by two – Double paceline unless otherwise stated. Single file where needed.

• Hold your line – Be predictable; no sudden swerves or braking.

• No aero bars – Not allowed in group rides for safety.

• Stay off the front if surging – Maintain steady pace unless it’s a hammerfest.

• Obey traffic laws – We stop at red lights, yield signs, and respect pedestrians.

• Don’t half-wheel – Stay even with your riding partner. It’s a team effort.

⸻

🔴 Respect the Group

• No-drop means no-drop – If you sign up for a no-drop ride, don’t leave anyone behind.

• Know the ride level – Join a group that matches your fitness and pace.

• Support new riders – Encourage, don’t discourage.

• Leave no trace – Take your trash home, including wrappers and bottles.

⸻

🧩 MVC Vibe Check

• We ride hard, but we ride together.

• We joke, sweat, and grind, but always show respect.

• We rep Milford with pride—on and off the saddle.
