What it takes to be a Ghost Rider

Q. Just Who Are We?
A. We are a rapidly growing group of cycling nuts. We meet weekly to ride the Waburton Trail as well as participate in a host of other special cycling events throughout the year. We also complete longer weekend and overnight rides at regular times during the year and are beginning a series of overseas cycling and adventure challenges.

If you wish to ride with us you must satisfy the following requirements:

1. You need to be able to ride a bicycle.
2. You must have a good sense of humour and enjoy a little light hearted mischief.
3. You need to have a strong desire to improve your physical fitness while having fun.
4. You must like making new friends and humiliating old ones
5. You need to have a thick skin to take whatever we can dish out.
6. You must want to lower your stress by escaping from pressure for regular periods of time.
7. You need to have some spare time available you can spare each week for personal improvement (the more the better)
8. You need to have desire to steadily improve your riding standard.
9. You do not have to be a "leg shaver" but we will still accept you if you are.
10. It also helps to have a cast iron bum, although the pain does get less with practise.

If you would like to join us on a ride you must satisfy the following requirements:

We are NOT a formally constituted or incorporated cycling club. We make NO financial demands of our riding mates. There is NO joining fee or annual subscription fee. Organisers of rides take no responsibility for any injury or damage that may be incurred on any ride. We are simply a group of friends that enjoy our bikes and enjoy the social and health benefits that flow on from these activities.

Any adult riders are welcome to ride with us on our rides, providing they accept full responsibility for their own wellbeing and safety. We do have an "official jersey" which can be ordered from Warren's Sport & Recreation in Emerald. The only restriction is that BEFORE you can wear the club jersey you must complete a minimum of 4 club rides at a satisfactory level of competence within a 6 month period. Riders are also expected to maintain regular attendance on club rides in order to retain their "jersey wearing" status.

Any rider who is absent from scheduled rides for an extended period without good reason may be removed from the recognised rider list.
