It is a requirement of national road rules that helmets are worn when riding a bike. It is dark for many early morning rides (at the beginning during some of autumn and spring and throughout during most of winter). The club recommends that proper lights be used. Apart from selfpreservation, lights are also a legal requirement.
Training can be dangerous at times and you do so at your own risk. These rides are open to all and are not exclusive to Canberra Cycling Club members. The Canberra Cycling Club does not organise these rides and hence takes no responsibility for the ride.
It is recommended that riders read the notes on bunch etiquette.
