The Woodhall Wheelers have some club policies that should be understood before riding on one of the club rides. these are shown below:
| Policy | Policy Detail | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Lower rider age limit | Riders must be aged 18 or over unless accompanied by parent/carer | The Club, as yet, does not have the capacity to manage young riders |
| Helmets | Riders, without exception, must wear helmets on club rides | |
| Mudguards | Riders participating in club rides 1 Nov – 28 Feb must fit full length mudguards | The Club is keen to encourage close group and chaingang riding |
| Rider Visibility | Riders participating in club rides 1 Nov to 28 Feb must wear high visibility clothing and/or fit high intensity, non flashing, lights | High visibility always makes sense but is more of an issue in the winter period |
| Guest Riders | Guest riders may ride with the Club up to 3 occasions before purchasing membership | |
| Bicycle Spares | Riders must ensure their bicycle is serviceable before the ride and must carry equipment and spares to fix punctures and minor mechanical breakdowns | Other riders will always help but are not responsible for providing spares |
| No Drop | The club operates a no drop policy, we leave together and return together | On occasion rides may split but nobody is left alone at the rear |
| Ride Leader | A ride leader will be nominated for all club rides | |
| Back Marker | A Lanterne Rouge will be nominated when deemed necessary by the ride leader | |
| In Case of Emergency (ICE) | Riders must have ICE number saved on their mobile phone | All riders expected to carry a charged mobile phone |
