Weekly Tuesday Night Potluck Rides

• We ride every Tuesday evening from mid April until Mid October, depending on weather
  
• These are called Potluck Rides
  
• We leave from the staging area in the parking lot between Zellers and Canadian Tire
  at Upper Middle Road and Appleby Line
  
• We leave PROMPTLY at 7:00 PM after a brief talk, usually from our 1st Officer
  
• Rides last about 2 hours, depending on the Road Captain and his/her route
  
• Rides may start earlier and last about 1 hour when on standard time due to darkness
  
• Changes in ride times are posted on the Chapter 57 Delphi Forum
  
• Depending on the number of riders, there can be multiple groups
  
• We try to limit groups to 8-12 riders
  
• Potluck Rides usually include a stop near the halfway point to change glasses or clothing
  
• Coffee shops are the most common for a pit stop and coffee
  
• Each group has a Road Captain at the front and Tail Gunner at the rear
  
• No one is left stranded because the Tail Gunner will always stop to help a stopped rider
  
• If a rider leaves the group early before it is finished, the Tail Gunner should be notified
  
• If a group gets split up, the last rider in the 1st group is called a "Drop Back Rider"
  
• The "Drop Back Rider" marks the intersection where the 1st group turned
  
• If there is no turn and the group is split, there is no "Drop Back Rider"
  
• The 2nd group assumes the 1st group has not turned if there is no "Drop Back Rider"
  
• Tuesday nite rides are officially over when we stop at a restaurant for a social
