The marker system works well for Ecosse rideouts. But we know the roads and if anyone gets lost they know the way home.
But, as proved by thousands of tourists on the roads of Scotland every year - what worries me on an invitational is that when people come to Scotland they are having such a good ride, looking at spectacular scenery, enjoying the twisty roads, and generally having a ball being a tourist, that they forget they have role to play and that they should be marking junctions.
As we see from the tourists in cars, in some cases common sense goes out of the window altogether! It's not something you can blame anybody for, it just happens that people get caught up in the moment, just as I did at 4 am on Sunday morning
!
I don't think we had anybody like that this year, but it only takes one.
I'll name no names but we had somebody prove to be unreliable in the organisation of the breakfast, but luckily I wasn't relying on thier input. Much to my own dissatifaction I proved unreliable in leading the Sunday rideout and that will NEVER happen again! But the same can happen with marking junctions.
