Please use the JoinR App search sling-event to find the Sling Experience Group to track your location and track our location for every ride. It allows the group to see where other riders are on a map, and chat with each other if needed.

Keep it tight. Leave a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front of you, but very large gaps will break up the group.

For our larger rides, we will provide maps and written details with rally points and times. Go to the Main Tent for more details.

We try our best to stay on time, and we’ll be taking it pretty slow.

Please fall to the back of the line if you need to break of from the group, to ensure no one accidentally follows you.

Please try to arrive at the event with a full tank before going on any major rides. Some rides may travel up to 60 miles before the first gas station stop, plan accordingly.

Look out for hand signals while riding, to merge into one lane or split into two or more lanes. Pass the hand signal back behind you. Spreading out into multiple lanes allows us to stay closer together as a group and get more people through a light.

When we pause or slow down on a street, please try to keep a lane open to allow other vehicles or our ride captains to pass. Usually if we stop or slow down on a street we are not staying very long, so please stay in or near your vehicles.

If someone is blocking traffic for you, please try to keep it moving quickly. Please try your best to stay alert and obey all traffic laws. Sling Safely.
