....STAGGERED FORMATION

Our chapter generally rides in a stagger formation for safety reasons.
The minimum recommended spacing to the bike directly in front of you should not be less than two seconds (the two second rule).


The bike in the lane to your left or right should not be less than one second ahead of you.

The two second rule is a rule of thumb, try to adhere to this rule when possible, especially at highway speeds.

The last bike should ride in the middle of the two bike lanes with all head lights and running lights on. This will help the lead bike see the last bike. Refer to the image to the right.
