enables new audiences to become familiar with the Hawaiian Ride for Youth and Youth
Focus in an accessible way. Social media supplements the strong print and online media
coverage that is generated by the Hawaiian Ride for Youth each year.
Positive social media usage has many benefits, including building advocacy, increasing
brand awareness, promoting engagement within the community, attracting potential
donors and importantly, raising awareness of youth mental health.
Primary channels for engagement used by the Hawaiian Ride for Youth and Youth Focus
are Instagram and Facebook.

13NUTRITION TIPS (PRE-RIDE WEEK)
Breakfast Choices
• Cereal (Weet-Bix, Fruity-Bites, porridge, natural muesli, Just Right, Mini-
Wheats) with low fat milk
• Toast (wholegrain or wholemeal) with jam, honey, vegemite and peanut
butter with a small amount of margarine or butter
• Eggs, baked beans or spaghetti on toast
• Tea, coffee, milk and water
On the Bike
• Aim for 30 – 60 grams of carbohydrate per hour
• If known, it is best to drink to your individual hourly sweat rate
(information provided on how to calculate this at the 2020 sweat rate
presentation; See FAQs for more information)
• Electrolyte replacement is essential. Aqualyte is provided during Ride
Week. As it is a low carbohydrate electrolyte drink, you will need to take
care of your carbohydrate needs by consuming food through the day
The carbohydrate content of some common foods and fluids are:
• 750ml sports drink: 50g
• 1 x Carbo Shotz Gel: 34g
• 1 x medium banana: 22g
• 1 x muesli bar: 20–30g
• Sultanas, 1 tablespoon: 13.5g
• 1 x vegemite sandwich: 30g
• 1 x medium sweet muffin: 30g
Lunch/Dinner
Lunch and dinner meals should be a combination of healthy protein-rich foods,
carbohydrate-rich foods and vegetables or salad, including:
• Lean meat, chicken or fish (these provide protein and other nutrients)
• Grains such as pasta, rice, quinoa, bread, wraps and/or starchy vegetables
such as potato, sweet potato, pumpkin, corn, beetroot (these provide you
carbohydrates and other nutrients)
• Vegetables or salad with low-fat dressing or dressing on the side (if needed)
The majority of the Australian population do not eat enough of these and they
have a vital role to play for health, so load your plate up with these options.
14Alcohol
For performance and recovery while training and during Ride Week, you should
aim to limit your alcohol intake to no more than two standard drinks per day.
Aside from the known adverse health effects, alcohol exacerbates injuries,
minimises glycogen from being re-made for energy use during the day’s ride, and
inhibits rehydration.
Understandably, the Hawaiian Ride for Youth has an important social aspect, but
striking a balance between this and maintaining yours and your team’s
performance is essential.

29SAFETY GUIDELINES
Teamwork
Give a helping hand, watch for problems (lack of concentration, not drinking or
eating enough, loose equipment) and communicate with each other to be safe
and enjoy the ride.
Be predictable
Other riders expect you to ‘hold your line’, at a constant speed, unless you indicate
differently.
Communicate
Use hand and verbal signals to communicate with the peloton.
Hand signals
Hand signals for turning and stopping are as follows:
o Left arm straight out to signal a left turn.
o Left arm out and down with your palm to the rear to signal slowing or
stopping.
o For a right turn, put your right arm straight out.
Verbal warnings
Verbally warn cyclists behind you of your changes in direction or speed.
The lead rider should call out "left turn“, "right turn“, "slowing“, “stopping“, etc.
Announce a turn well in advance of the intersection, so that members of the
group have time to position themselves properly.
Announce hazards
In a peloton most of the cyclists do not have a good view of the road surface
ahead, so it is important to announce holes, gravel, grates, and other hazards.
Indicate road hazards by pointing down to the left or right, and by shouting
"hole“, "bump“, etc.
30Never go back
For whatever reason you feel the need to turn around and go back, don’t do it on
your bike.
o Rider to make one of the riders with radios aware that they are required to
stop or turn back because something has come off their bike.
o Communicate to Command Vehicle of the issue.
o Command Vehicle will arrange to retrieve the item and return at the next
available opportunity.
Change positions correctly
o Generally slow traffic stays left, so you should try to pass others on their right.
o Say “outside" to warn the cyclist ahead that you are passing. If you need to pass
someone on the left, say “inside" clearly since this is an unusual manoeuvre.
Watch for traffic coming from the rear
o Since those in front cannot see traffic approaching from the rear, it is the
responsibility of the riders at the back to inform the others by saying "car back“.
o Around curves, on narrow roads, or when riding double, it is also helpful to
warn of traffic approaching from the front with "car up“.
Watch out at intersections
o Your support crew will endeavour to stop all traffic and allow the peloton to
travel through an intersection without stopping.
o When not under Police escort the peloton MUST obey all traffic lights.
o If the peloton splits, follow instructions from the Support Crew only.
Pushing
o If you have never pushed another rider before now is not the time to start.
Move off the road when you stop
o Whether you are stopping because of mechanical, medical problem or
comfort stop, move well off the road as soon as possible so you do not
interfere with traffic.
o Lead riders will pull forward in the stopping area and other riders to pull in
behind the rider in front of them.
o Allow room for the Shadow Van.
