Lexington participants and volunteers
Lexington WNBR is dependent on the participation of everyone doing a little to make the ride as safe as possible.

Game Day
People at the front of the ride
- If you are unfamiliar with the route then please stay behind the front of the ride.
- Stop at all stoplights and stop signs, and follow all traffic laws that cars must obey.
- Please think of the people behind you. If you dart out in front of cars then riders behind you might think a particular intersection is safe to proceed.
- It's recommended the people leading the should have a speedometer of some kind because we want the ride to stay around 11 MPH, but should never exceed 14 MPH.
Self Appointed Volunteers
- Anyone interested in Volunteering on Game Day needs to print a hard copy of the route to bring with them, and read over how to correctly Cork.
- When nearing streets to turn shout the turn, and street name like 'Right on Rose' for example.
- Make sure to follow All traffic laws at all times please. Stop at all traffic lights and signs unless the intersection has been successfully corked.
- Cork all intersections and direct participants to proceed.
- If the ride should split up (again) try and lead the split group to either the starting location or try to intercept the group by going somewhere they're going to be.
- If the ride is leaderless or should become leaderless(I get a flat, or find something better to do) please follow this Wiki in it's entirety with emphasis on the following.
- Recommend printing a hard copy of the route if possible
- Leave at the designated time
- Follow all traffic laws
- cork whenever possible
- Shout directions on the ride
- Please discuss any unforeseen problems on the main Talk:Lexington Page.
The Route

Pg. 1 of 2 Make sure to select "Fit to Page" when printing, and select "Landscape."
Pg. 2 of 2 Again remember to select "Fit to Page" when printing, and select "Landscape."
Days leading up to the next ride
Wiki Keepers
This one's fairly strait forward. Despite my best efforts the Lexington Wiki needs a few yearly 5 minute edits to help keep the ride going strong.
1.) Please help keep the Events in Lexington page updated by adding a paragraph about how the previous ride went.
2.) Create a new year on the Events in Lexington page from the Template on the Talk:Events_in_Lexington.
3.) Update the next Lexington ride date on the List of rides page.
4.) If the ride should become postponed from bad weather please indicate a new ride date three weeks after the original ride date on the Events in Lexington.
Optional:
- Click the "Watch" tab on the Talk:Lexington Page. Discussion of the Lexington ride will be posted there.
- For instant updates via email on changes to your 'Watchlist' click "My Preferences" on the top right of the page. Scroll down to see the email notifications box, and check the box for email updates on pages you're watching.
Street Team
I am asked frequently "What's the best way to help out the WNBR Lex?" The Street Team section has been redesigned to better address this question.
- If you are really dedicated to seeing the next ride threw please print, pass, and post just one page of each of the following images before the next scheduled ride. You can handle passing and posting 8 flyers and 8 mini-posters per year right?
- If you don't have a printer a local copy shop can print the following images for about a quarter total. They'll also have table cutters there to make the images much easier to cut.
- Even if only 20 people did this before the next ride, we'd potentially reach 1,120 people this way.
Will you be one of the 20?
