I think that having official standards would make it a lot easier to ask someone not to ride with the club "for official reasons". It sure beats "hey you........get out of here"
I hate the modern world.
Waivers and more waivers. Every club ride I have been on requires you to sign a large waiver when you join and a smaller waiver on each and every ride as part of the signup sheet. However, I would also think if someone came into the group with noticeable physical issues or if you found out about those issues and let them ride again you may be open to a negligence lawsuit.
