  here's a few good words from Jack Hall

  Watch for loose gravel both on the road and on parking areas
  
  Keep headlight on high beam & bar lights on during daylight hours - others can see you much better
  
  Check turn indicators - mine don't automatically turn off - this can endanger you and all the riders of your group, especially if an oncoming vehicle thinks you'll turn left & they want to turn left
  
  If you aren't familiar with the rider ahead of you leave some extra spacing
  
  When riders stagger their formation, lead can better tell where riders are...if lead should slow a bit to let rear end catch up...if lead should speed up a bit because the group has bunched up too much
