Re: AR Marking Discussion
I will offer my services to mark the finish line with a banner wearing a fairy's outfit :D
I think the way AR07 was done was fine. Though never designated, was more the drop off system, I actually enjoyed marking on the Peaks Rideout, holding up the traffic letting everybody pull out, posing for some and Saluting LyleJ :D I have utmost respect that do get designated as a marker as they are willing to help and keep others safe. |

Re: AR Marking Discussion
I think the marking system worked well last year but here's a suggestion;
Obviously heavily dependant on the number of junctions requiring marking in between scheduled stops could we not have a marker for each one? We could do a poll and if there are enough willing markers they would all start up front, mark their junction as indicated by the leader and then hang back WITHOUT any pressure or requirement to pass 50 or 60 or so bikes? This would eliminate anyone feeling as though they were buzzed by a marker, take out a lot of needless overtakes and also include people wanting to make a contribution to the ride without relying on experience, skill or speed. I have no idea how many towns and junctions there are on the route or how many bikes or contibutors etc we have so this may seem completely moronic, for which I apologise. |

Re: AR Marking Discussion
If there are too many points to mark we could still use some people to mark once and then hang back or ride how they normally would have.

Re: AR Marking Discussion
The only obstacle i see in having lots of people who will mark and lots who wont is the possibility of one junction not getting marked as its not clear who will stop and who wont. Does that make sense?

Yeh but then we assume that everyone behind the leader WANTS to be a marker, not everone who attends the AR does.
