Riding on your own you sit in the saddle for much longer than riding in a group 'cos you only stop when you need a drink/food/fuel/cigarette/toilet etc. Riding in a group as we never do more than 40 miles at a time without stopping, theres always somebody who needs to stop for some reason. A rideout that can be done in 90 minutes alone takes us lot the best part of 4-5 hours!
Come along, honestly you'll be surprised at how the time and miles pass, and you have massive help/support on hand to make going further from home less daunting.
Contemplating it is much harder than doing it!
.......Anyway, after all that I'll check the dates with Mrs Ralph.
