HAND / ARM SIGNALS
1. STOP: Left hand, extended downward with palm facing backward.
2. RIGHT TURN: Left arm, extended upright with hand extended.
3. LEFT TURN: Left arm, extended straight out with hand extended.
4. TURNAROUND: Left arm, extended upright with hand extended, rotating is a circular motion. This is used for group riding as well as signaling an individual rider approaching.
5. SINGLE FILE RIDING: Left arm, extended upright with index finger pointed up. Used for narrow, winding roads, road obstruction and hazards.
6. CLOSE UP FORMATION: Left arm, extended upright and moved in an up/down motion (pumping) with fist closed. Used to tighten up or close riding formation, catch up and stay close. The R/C will use this to execute a group maneuver.
7. ROAD HAZARD: Pointing downward, with either hand, in the direction of the hazard. Used to warn fellow riders of potholes and debris in the road.
8. STAGGERED RIDING: Left arm, extended upright and four fingers, extended, waving side to side. Used on open roads and where there are a lot of turns. This style allows the rider some leeway for drifting and is our preferred style.
9. DUAL RIDING: Left arm, extended upright and two fingers, extended in a "V". Used for two abreast where permitted.
10. FUEL: Pointing to your gas tank means you have switched to your reserve tank. Blow your horn to alert the R/C.
11. OTHER: Left arm, extended straight out with hand waving back and forth means come up to me or pass me.
If additional signals are needed, they will be explained by the R/C prior to the start of the ride.
