Waiver Form: For all TRF's events, we require that everyone signs a waiver form for any group rides that are offered through The Riderz Foundation. Click on this link: https://www.theriderzfoundation.org/waiver
Please be mindful, if this is your first time riding in a group, we will provide some educational videos and articles each week in the comments section before the ride event. Please, please review them and educate yourself. Know your hand signals and the etiquette of group riding. At the end of the day, we all want to come back home safely to our loved ones.
Also, bring rain gear just in case we hit bad weather. It's better to be prepared and cross your fingers we won't need it. If it does rain cats and dogs, we will reschedule the ride for the safety of others.
NEW INFO as of 8/12/24: For the riders that are meeting us in Marion at the Valero gas station, we should be getting to the gas station about 12:30pm. It will take 2 hours from Winston-Salem to Marion, VA (depending on what the group wants to do, we will either go on Hwy 52 or take Interstate FWY 74/77). Keep checking the FB event/chat and we will keep everyone updated as to when we leave each stop.
