When riding in a group, it is generally the practice that the group ride in a staggered formation of 2 columns. | ![]() |
The Ride Captain will always be the lead rider. There is no absolute protocol that dictates which side of the lane the Ride Captain occupies, however, as a general rule, the Ride Captain rides on the inside portion, or left side, of the lane. | |
Once the Ride Captain is in place, the rest of the riders fall in to 2 columns. When the Ride Captain begins the ride, he/she will take the lead and the rider to the left or right of the Ride Captain will begin the staggered formation. |
