Corner Marker

The “intended” corner marker is to travel no closer than 100 meters behind the Ride Leader
At approx. 50 meters prior to the intersection the Ride Leader is to indicate (by pointing) where the
Corner Marker is to halt and wait for the group to pass

If the “intended” Corner Marker believes that they cannot park safely off the asphalt surface, then
they should continue traveling behind the Ride Leader and the next bike takes the Corner
Marker location
The Corner Marker is to remain at the designated stop point until after Tail End Charlie has
passed, or until another comes to collect them

When safe to do so, the Corner Marker is to re-enter traffic and overtake Tail End Charlie, thus
rejoining the group

Tail End Charlie

The appointed Tail End Charlie (TEC) is to be identified to all ride group members prior to the ride
commencing and is to remain highly visible at all time (eg wear high vis vest)

TEC is to overtake the stationary Corner Marker at the turn point
TEC is to sound his/her horn when overtaking the Corner Marker (TEC is not to flash his lights as
this may indicate the Corner Marker to pull out in front of them when it may not be safe to do so)

TEC is to slow or even pull over prior to the next corner to allow the Corner Marker to overtake
safely and re-join the ride group
