[Closed] Club Road Ride - recovery of broken bikes and injured people

bigsurfer · 2017-06-29T09:16:08Z

I am just wondering how other road cycling clubs manage the recovery of people and bikes if and when a serious mechanical or a crash happens. Obviously if an ambulance is required it goes without saying that this will be called its the middle ground where people either don't want to or can't ride on. Every rider has an emergency contact and the group leaders have this information. We are considering setting up a Whats App group that would allow anybody to post a request to the group for available people that have not ridden to come out and help in cars if an incident happen. Any other suggestions would be very well appreciated.

We have similar for the club summer race series but not for the regular 7 days a week club rides it would get messy quickly.

When my son nutted a tree and KOd himself on C2C we simply left the bikes with a nearby farmer who stored them in his barn. We went to pick them up the next day and just caught him as he was driving off with his family for a two-week holiday. Gulp!
