AR abroad was said tongue in cheek, hence the ?! at the end. Not sure i'd have the funds or time to go and scout out a location & route without deciding to not come back! Its the internet, everything is interpreted as people read it. Which often isn;t in the same manner as the writer had in mind. |

2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
I think most people consider AR10 to have been their favourite. So, another Wales AR might be a good idea.

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
An AR is more to do with the people than anything else. The bikes, location & route are by the by. The reason this years AR was a good one for all that went was because of the people who were there!

This year circumstances just meant that I couldn't attend & I'm sure that's the case for a lot of us, certainly in the EAR. Your location for me was fine, just the timing, which will always be the case for the numbers that attend. At least we had an AR this year, so thanks for Organising it, whatever the turnout |
Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
AR10 was pre-facebook. There was lots of activity on the forum. I'd guess 90% of .ORG posts come from the same 10-15 people these days so in reality we really don't get the foot-fall we used to get and the world has moved on.
As Job says people having a good ride and a few beers is what it's all about. Some of the best "group" rides I've been on have been 3-4 people a made up route and the strangest lunchtime pub you can find. No prima-donnas, no grief just folks who like to ride bikes on great roads. Well done Job. Lets see if anyone else has the balls to give it a well though out and planned go next year. |
Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
Just out of curiosity what were the numbers?

Attendance thread had ~25. There were about 15 when I got there Saturday evening. No idea about the ride. |
Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
Lots of people had other stuff on this weekend. I was working, Bear got married, it's the first weekend of the school holidays I believe, a few regular AR attendees are currently bikeless thanks to accidents or mechanical failure. Maybe it's time to move away from the idea of an Annual Rideout and just encourage all areas to organise more rides at which other geographical groups are made to feel welcome if they fancy joining in.
Well done on organising. I'd be interested to see The route too. |
