British Cycling's Ride Leader courses are here:ontodva wrote: ↑12 Jul 2021, 11:41am I maybe need some advice... I have just begun to organise short rides with people I have never met, about 30k, with road, easy off-road and towpath and riverside routes and I have no idea about my liability if a rider or a third party is injured or suffers loss, and no experience coping with accidents.
Can anyone offer some advice and is there a source of advice on this?

I looked into the Ride Leader courses, very briefly, when I was wondering about organising rides for work colleagues. But I didn't pursue it because I thought that in order to do the BC Ride Leader course one had to be "used to riding in groups", which I'm not. Looking at the site now I can't find that stipulation, so maybe I misread or imagined it.
The place I work at has some experienced cyclists, and at least one serious alpine cycling couple. So there would, hopefully, be a a fair bit of cycling experience in the group. Plus we all know each other, to some extent. I would be a lot more nervous about your idea, organising rides with strangers.
