Reckon it will be a Saturday ride this week as I cant make it on Sunday .

33bhp is no problem. We use a marker system which ensures that the whole group gets lost at different places throughout the ride

I think the trouble is, no one sticks to any sort of system.

Not wanting to make anything too formal - but should we not have a quick catch up prior to every ride to cover the marker system? Most times we would just say use the marker system - but when new people join our rides it would be good to explain the rules so that everyone can have confidence that the group will wait.

It only takes 1 person to forget and the whole thing goes to sh*t

Well volunteered.

HAHA! Welcome to the new guys, hopefully see you at the meets and the ride-outs! I wouldn't say 33bhp is a big problem, so long as noone rags it in the straighs, restricted sv's should be able to corner just as fast!

Yeah because those on faster machines than others always think about the ones that wont be able to keep up or may not actually have a clue where they are.

What is this utter gayness?

Anyone who thinks they might not be able to keep up should make sure they know the route in advance. This isn't the IAM. Or CSM, for that matter. You'll be saying there's no jostling for the lead next.

I wouldn't worry to much. You need to attend a TV rideout to be able to jostle for the lead.
