Guide to Group Riding

This guide is intended for explaining how OMC's "drop off" system works, along with how to ride on dual-carriageways & motorways - and how to do this all in a fun and safe manner!
Observer Days
We are aware that some people are put off coming on the rideouts as they have only recently passed their test or feel that they don't have the experience and confidence.
This need not be the case.
Firstly, during the rideouts, we all ride to the abilities of the riders in the group. We do not and will not coerce riders into riding faster than they feel comfortable with, as this is a major cause of accidents and none of us want that!
Secondly, OMC members Colin Measures and Clive Hennessey have kindly agreed to hold observer sessions whereby they will show you defensive riding. Both Colin and Clive have been trained by Bedfordshire Police and have ridden for more years than they care to remember. Colin is now an Instructor of CBT Instructors and both of them are very experienced riders. Some members have already taken advantage of this and now feel far more confident on their machines.
The costs for a session is £15 for a two hour stint (£5 of this goes to OMC funds) and £25 for a four hour run (£10 of which goes to OMC funds). The rest covers their fuel costs.
If anyone wishes to have a further half hour concentrating on town centre work, this will be free of charge!
Now this is value for money!!!!
