Yeah, you could be right. That's why I reckon an AR and a seperate, "end of season" rideout might be a better idea than 2 proper AR's, hopefully wouldn't have the same impact on the AR but with a lot of the benefits. Not sure.

As for regional rideouts, spoke to a few folks over the weekend about redoing our one up here- last time we got a load of the Irish and Essex boys up, and it was great- the more the merrier. But if I organise it it'll crash and burn More on this later
