⁠
1. Masks are mandatory, and must be worn until you start your ride ⁠
2. Temperature checks will happen when you arrive⁠
3. Make sure to check-in, so we can assign you a ride captain (an experienced and trained rider) and ride group ⁠
4. Each group of 10-15 riders will have staggered starts to maintain social distancing and reduce the number of people waiting around to start.
