The Sport Scotland and Stirling Triathlon Club (STC) requires that to attend a training event attendees pre-register. Each training event will be separate which could include multiple e.g., two or three different paced groups, with separate meeting places / times. Make sure you are booking onto the right activity, pace and length for you. Please note that there will be a maximum group size of ten and each group will have a group leader who will:
- Remind those attending of the need to remain within the guidelines as set out by Sports Scotland, TS and STC at the time of the organised training event.
- Have a planned route and pace – all of which can be adjusted as necessary.
- Ensure that riders understand their roles in terms of ‘group calls’ within the group (highlighting road hazards and manoeuvres etc).
- Ensure that riders are not ‘dropped’ from the group and that the group waits where necessary, unless individual/s have agreed to drop off / deviate from the plan.
- Ensure that where a group splits due to speed / objectives all parties are included.
All riders will:
- Agree to adhere to this code of conduct for STC organised activities.
- Understand that this is a led rather than coached activity unless specified.
- Sign up to an appropriate ride group in terms of average speed and distance planned.
- Ensure their bike is roadworthy, have a helmet, tools and spares to carry out repairs / deal with punctures and have a mobile phone for emergencies as well as lights if dull conditions.
- Ride in the group following normal group riding etiquette e.g., two abreast, no undertaking, group calls and warnings (ask if unsure)
- When stopping for ‘comfort break’, mechanicals and rest, maintain social distancing and where assistance is required, consider PPE and / or hand gel.
- Be a member of STC or interested in becoming one!
- Meet with the group at the meeting time.
- Cancel their booking on The University App as soon as possible if unable to attend to allow another club member to book a place (relevant to swimming).
