Fortnightly meets - why aren't you there?

We've historically done other stuff, often group rides (for loose values of group) on Sundays. The fortnightly Tuesday at the Shire is just a regular gathering, not the sole opportunity for people to get together.

That said, people rarely bothered to turn up at weekends either. I tried not to take it personally.

The main reason for the post was the fact that no one attends the Tuesday meets someone said that the most that attended last year was (7) I live 50 miles away and would find it hard to justify the distance and find 3 or 4 people there.

And that's the key thing - nobody turns up because nobody turns up.

We had four this week, and that was while the pub was surrounded with snow and ice. I've every intention of popping over if I'm not otherwise engaged, and I got the impression the others present were keen to form a core to at least keep things going. Then the fairweather riders and distance-phobics can turn up to make up the numbers.

FWIW it takes me between 40 and 90 minutes to get to the Shire, depending whether I'm coming from home or work. Fifty miles isn't really that much if it's on open roads.

good point.

point well presented

Sure thing. Just need to workout a time - when is lunch for you? I can go any time within reason. Usually about 12:30 or so.

How about 12:45? We can go to the Raven. I'll be in the car on Monday, Thursday and Friday and (weather dependant) on the bike on Tuesday and Wednesday. I'll meet you on the roundabout outside Virgin Media. Which day suits you best?

I will attend again once:

a) The weather improves slightly
b) My bike is taxed
c) The front end is back together.

b & c should be complete in the next couple of weeks and Im hoping a is not far behind
a is not really mandatory, but now I have a company car, Ive gone a bit soft.
