BayBUGs Maroubra

The route will take us from Concord to the Cooks River to our destination Maroubra beach, where we will stop at the beach kiosk for coffee. 

PLEASE NOTE: beaches are currently closed for swimming, and water quality after rain / stormwater outflow is pretty poor anyways... 

We are restricting these rides to 12 people, so please advise me by return mail if you intend to join the ride. 

An email announcement will be made once the ride is full.

At this stage weather looks to be favourable, but if this incessant rain sets upon yet again, an email will be sent out by 6-30 am should the ride be cancelled.

In accordance with NSW Government health rules for public gatherings the following precautions will apply to all rides until further notice:

• Physical distancing of 1.5 metres must be maintained at all times (at the ride briefing, while riding, when stopped at traffic lights, at regroups and at any coffee stop).
• Riders must not attend if sick, have cold or flu or flu-like symptoms, or have in the last two weeks been in contact with a person who has tested positive to Corona virus or who has just returned from overseas travel, or if you have been in a known “hot-spot”or cluster
• Pre-registration for the ride is compulsory -  the ride leader will note participants who have sent email confirmation.
• All riders are encouraged to bring with them a small size hand sanitizer (ride leaders will have their usual first aid kit).
• No clearing of nasal/ respiratory secretions while riding, bring a tissue.
• Coffee stop will be in the middle of the ride so you may wish to bring a snack.
• BayBUG members are encouraged to download the COVIDSafe app. As part of pre-ride briefings, ride leaders will encourage participants to ensure that the app is activated for the duration of the ride, including any coffee or other stop.
• Registration for and participation in a BayBUG ride includes providing verbal consent for contact details from the ride log to be provided to NSW public health officers undertaking contact tracing if a person on the ride later tests positive for COVID-19.

.         All riders are required to periodically refer to the NSW Health latest updates for areas nominated for increased testing and should not join a ride if they are required to test and have not yet received a negative result.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE RIDE IN A SAFE AND RESPECTFUL MANNER AND OBEY THE ROAD RULES. YOUR SAFETY IS YOUR YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. 

Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday.

Cycling can be an enjoyable and exciting activity. However, like many recreational activities that require physical exertion, cycling carries with it the risk of physical injury. The risks associated with cycling include the risk that:

• you may be involved in a collision with people, animals, objects and/or vehicles;
• you may lose your balance;
• you may suffer from the effects of heat, cold, wind, rain and other weather conditions;
• you may suffer from physical exertion;
• you may become separated from the cycling group; and
• you may fall from your bicycle.

These risks may result in death, bodily injury, disability, property damage and economic loss. There are other risks to which you may be exposed. You should ensure that you wear appropriate clothing and safety equipment, including a helmet.

By participating in the cycling activities provided by the organising Bicycle NSW Affiliated Bicycle User Group, you agree:

• to obey all Australian and NSW road rules;
• that your bicycle and equipment is in good mechanical order.
• to comply with all directions given to you by Bicycle NSW employees or agents of the organising Bicycle User Group;
• to take full and sole responsibility for any person under the age of 18 years who accompanies you in these cycling activities;
• that you participate at your own risk; that the agreement for services provided to you by the organising Bicycle User Group does not include any implied or express warranty that the services of the organising Bicycle User Group will be rendered with due care and skill or that any materials provided by the organising Bicycle User Group in connection with the cycling activities will be fit for the purpose for which they are supplied;
• that the organising Bicycle User Group has no liability to you for personal injury or death arising from the services that the organising Bicycle User Group provides to you; and

to indemnify organising Bicycle User Group against any claim, loss, damage, liability, cost and expense that may be incurred or sustained by the organising Bicycle User Group in connection with any act, matter or thing done, permitted or omitted to be done by you or which was in any way connected with your involvement in the cycling activities.
An approved Australian Standards helmet is required to be worn on all rides. No helmet, no ride. No exceptions. Please ensure your bike is in good working order and bring a spare tube, a pump, tyre levers, a full water bottle and any other tools you may require. It is also recommended you bring money for food and/or fares and your mobile phone.

Children – these rides are not a child minding service. Every rider under the age of 18 must be under the direct supervision of a parent/guardian. The parent/guardian must watch and control their children for the duration of the ride. The parent/guardian agrees to take full and sole responsibility for their children’s safety. Please contact the Ride Leader in advance to discuss the suitability of a ride for your children.
