RIDE LEADER/SWEEP TRAINING - 1/14/2026
All CCBC members are invited to the next Ride Leader, Sweep training seminar. This is an annual event to review our Club Riding Policies as well as specific duties for the positions of Ride Leader or Sweep. Veteran Ride Leaders and Sweeps are invited as we value their input during the training. It’s also a good moment to review what we are doing right during our rides and what issues we need to improve on.
Being a Ride Leader or Sweep is the most valuable resource we offer to our 438 members. Without trained Ride Leaders and Sweeps, we don’t have safe club rides. For those of you who are Pace Line riders, you all have the dual responsibility to perform safely as each of you ultimately become a Ride Leader or Sweep during your rotations.
The training booklet we use represents decades of knowledge from the many past and present Ride Leaders and Sweeps over those years. We also include safety protocols provided by Florida Bicycle Association and League of American Bicyclists. Our club continues to make revisions to keep up with new challenges that we all face as cyclists.
This training is the first step to a rewarding career as Ride Leader or Sweep. Many of us who have taken on these duties are extremely proud contributors to providing safe and pleasurable rides for our fellow cyclists.
Our last year’s training included a couple joint members who belong to SMBC in attendance. They have asked if we would invite any of their riders to attend our training and we graciously encouraged them to attend.
