PMBC Board Announcement - Sanctioned Club Rides Now Approved


The PMBC sent the following to ride leaders: 

The board has met and determined that it is okay to continue leading rides beginning August 29, 2020. We have come up with some recommendations on things that you may wish to consider doing differently.

  • One option we’d have you strongly consider is giving your riders the option to sign up and sign the waiver electronically. We have updated the waiver to include verbiage about the possibility of virus/bacterial spread when out cycling with others. Instructions for this are attached.
  • We plan to send out more information shortly, to members, on how to register ahead of time for a ride but didn’t want to wait in letting you know that it’s okay to start up rides again, with insurance coverage. Please let us know if you have trouble using the new guide to give riders the option of contactless signing of the waiver.
  • NOTE: Ride Leaders should brief all riders of the safety policies and procedures prior to each ride. Please use the attached COVID-19 Safety Checklist as a guide.
  • Please use the 2020.08.15 Group Ride Waiver – 10 names (also attached) for sign-in for those who prefer to sign a paper waiver rather than signing it electronically.
  • Should you have the wonderful opportunity to lead a major event, please use 2020.08.23 PMBC Major Event Waiver. A link is included below.

All of these documents can be found in the Document Library > Ride Leadership Folder on the website.

That said, I will return this Sunday August 30 to lead anyone who wishes to participate. I still do not plan on stopping at a restaurant, and will be happy to take suggestions for routes. This week, I am partial to doing Mummy Mountain. 

Hoping to see one or two of you this Sunday!
