It seems that some riders are not getting educated on how to ride in a staggered formation whether it is two or ten riders.  This typically results in not allowing the riders to have an escape route when encountering any kind of hazards.  So I just wanted to go over the following distances during group riding. 

2 second rule-The distance between you and the bike in front of you.  This will give you the space and time to avoid hazards when you encounter them.

4 second rule-The distance between you and two bikes in front of you.  You cannot rely on looking at just the bike in front of you.  If you can watch two bikes ahead, this will give you more reaction time.  You might see something even before the bike in front of you sees or reacts to, this gives you that critical out.

12 second rule-The distance to properly scan the road ahead of you in order to see and react to any hazards you are coming upon.

If you can remember these rules, you can enjoy a safe and comfortable ride!  Have fun and ride safe!!!
