  • There will be two TEC's. One TEC will enquire on each ride if the RL has phone comms on their bike.
  • This contact is preferably the RL or RC or someone TEC knows has phone access through their onboard communications.
  • Both TEC’s travel at the rear of the ride pack.
  • At least one TEC will wear an orange high visibility vest.
  • Prior to the ride group taking off from any location the TEC will ride past all members ensuring every rider is ready and then advise the RL to move off.
  • TEC falls back to the rear of the pack.
  • TEC will check the safety/wellbeing of any rider that stops unexpectedly during the ride.
  • The rider in front of the TEC will keep TEC headlights in their rear-view mirror in case TEC has to stop or has an issue.
  • The TEC will liaise with the RC re this matter before each ride.
