The ride code
How a ROAR ride is run — pace, the marker system, spacing, overtaking, and what gets you sent home. The one page everyone reads before their first trip.
Open →Roar Riders
The riders' handbook
The short version of how we ride and what we expect. Read the ride code and the first-ride checklist before your first trip; keep the rest for reference.
Hand signals
The 18 hand and foot signals we use on the road, drawn rear-view — the way you actually see them from the rider ahead — each with a line on what it means and what to do. Plus a printable pocket card.
Open →First-ride checklist
What to bring, what to expect and how the day runs on your first ride with ROAR — from the WhatsApp confirmation to the ride home.
Open →Trip prep by ride type
What to sort before each kind of ride — a meetup loop, a hill weekend, a camping trek, a high expedition. Permits, spares, documents and the things that scale up as the ride gets bigger.
Open →Pre-ride bike check
The five-minute check before every departure — tyres, controls, lights, oil, chain, slack and security. Run it the night before, not in the forecourt.
Open →Emergency card
A card to fill in and keep in your jacket — blood group, allergies, medication, two contacts, insurance. Fill it on screen (it remembers), then print it folded to pocket size.
Open →Gear guide
What to actually buy — the five essentials, what "good enough" looks like at three budgets, the certifications that matter, and where not to cut corners.
Open →Rider waiver & indemnity
The plain terms of riding with ROAR — riding is at your own risk, what you are responsible for, and the limits of the group's liability. Joining a ride means accepting these.
Open →Code of conduct
How we treat each other on and off the bike — respect for every rider, zero tolerance for harassment or discrimination, and a private way to report a problem that goes to the organisers, not the group.
