Looks like i can make this now.
Look out for me Black fully faied pointy, Black and white 'Zebra' HJC Lid.

As newbie and this being first rideout an not knowing these roads :
Will there be lead rider & taigunner?
Any other rules, like front of pack rider stopping to indicate turns?

Is there definitive route now?

This rideout was started 3 years ago for people that hadn't been on an org rideout & wanted a taster of what they are about as some others are over 300 miles long & can be at a "spirited" pace (this one isn't).

I don't have a definitive route, but it isn't far off this: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?cli...74042&t=h&z=10

I will be the lead rider &, hopefully, someone will put thier hand up & be Tail end charlie (TEC) for me.
At junctions & roundabouts, we ask whoever is in 2nd place to stop to show the way (it does work very well)
I will give out my mobile number tomorrow morning, so if anybody does get lost, they have a contact point.

Hope this helps :)

Just seen the weather & it looks like it could stay dry, but a little cooler than of late, fingers crossed
