Re: Bibio's Sunday Bimbles
Hi,
Newbie to the forums (and biking) but wouldn't mind tagging along for the ride, wouldn't mind coming from a68 layby to Selkirk, will head home from their. Will be my first group ride since getting the bike. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

its a good idea to know where you are going as the group often gets split up. |

Re: Bibio's Sunday Bimbles
No worries, the turn off at otterburn is the only road I'm not sure of so really looking forward to the run.
I imagine I will be the one at the back, I'm still working on those chicken strips on the tyres Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Re: Bibio's Sunday Bimbles
You might pass me, going in the opposite direction, somewhere between Keilder and Moffat.

you have a leader which can change through the day. you have a TEC (Tail End Charlie) who is usually the slowest rider. you have the pack of other riders. leader keeps their eyes on their mirrors and if looses sight of the person behind will stop and mark at a junction. if there is a person behind they will continue and let the person behind take over marking the junction, this goes down the pack until there is someone in the pack who knows there is a TEC and they are not in their mirror who will then sit and mark the junction until the TEC arrives at which point the marker will continue on. basically if your not TEC and you cant see anybody else in your mirrors when approaching a junction you sit and wait at that junction for TEC to show up and letting all other riders continue unless another rider takes over marking the junction. we only do this if there is someone who does not know where they are going or people are unsure of a certain junction at which point we will only mark that/those junctions. most of the time its the leader who will mark junctions. with the leader being the fastest rider and they have marked a junction they will want to get a boogie on to get back up to the front, please let them pass safely to do so, so keep an eye on your mirrors. give people space at all times, dont be an **** and try to show off, we have seen it all trust me. keep an eye on your mirrors, this helps stop you getting speeding tickets be aware of everyone else in the group, dont ride like your in a bubble. your riding in a group and your responsible for your actions. we look out for each other. very rarely we will play hopscotch which lets everyone have a go at being leader. if your a freshly passed rider sometimes you will be waved in front of another more experienced rider, if asked to do so just overtake when its safe and continue on. most of all, have fun, relax and enjoy yourself. |

Re: Bibio's Sunday Bimbles
Belter of a day on the bike with Bib's, LOM and Chris. Sun shone all day, had to go to a temple and take my trousers off !!!! Just to remove my iners, which I had stupidly left in.
Brilliant roads around Kielder, good company and we didn't get lost !!! Happy Days. Cheers Bib's for putting that together, more please
