Guest and Uninvited Riders

FYI: from the WGaS Bylaws:

410.000-non WGaS riders who join into the paceline

410.001- guest riders invited by a member-are the responsibility of the WGaS rider who invites said guest
1) guest riders shall be relegated to the back of the paceline and not rotate through until they have been determined to be able to safely do so;
2) in the event a guest rider is "dropped" during the ride it is the responsibility of the WGaS rider who invited the guest to go back for him/her and bring him/her back up-if so desired;
3)in the event a guest rider is deemed unsafe for any reason that determination shall be presented to the WGaS rider who invited the guest and that shall be relayed to the guest and the guest will not be welcome to ride with the group-this is a unilateral decision and there are no appeal rights and the decision is binding and final unless three (3) WGaS Board Members step forward and speak on that former guest's behalf after a reasonable period of expulsion has passed

410.002-non-invited riders who join the group without an invitation by a WGaS rider shall be informed that they must ride as the last rider in the paceline and are not to rotate through until the group has determined that the rider is capable of safely doing so. If said rider is deemed to be unsafe or for other reasons unwanted in the group he shall be promptly told in an appropriate manner that the group does not welcome his/her presence and to fall off the back and not rejoin the paceline.

Well written BT. You bring a friend to WGaS ride - you are responsible for them - just like most other club rides in the area.

What about those that are part of the group and ride unsafe or perform acts that put other at risk. Just asking...
