Rideout 8th July?

D'oh!

[carelesschucca]

Hmm, maybe I do ride too quickly on the SV runs, and the new bike ain't helping matters...

What I am going to do for this run is print off everyone a dirrections sheet... I always do my best to wait at the important junctions to make sure everyone is going the right way, But I'm possibly not the most sedate of leaders...

what are the numbers for this ride out???

Me...Definate

me me me ....... dont forget me

im not saying you should slow down dean. but when you go for a rideout its nice to ride with others at least some of the way. but as long as there is a route and lots of stopping places its ok as if you do ride like an old woman (cant believe how bad my riding is these days, year off t he bike really puts you back) its good to know you dont have to keep up but that you wont get lost and end up riding around yourself all day.

oh yeah count me in for this one

you will always get 1 or 2 who need to push it more than others and thats their choice and its good to have that element in the group. But what is also needed is the 1 or 2 experienced riders who are willing to ride in the middle and end of the group to keep us together. A newbie should not be the last bike in the group.

I'm a maybe

Not an issue! If you wait at junctions and the all the stop points go for it...

You can't enjoy a ride out if your either playing catch up or tootling along watching some guy in your mirrors. Ride at your own speed, ride for yourself, and everyone will catch up at stopping points, usually withing 2-3 minutes of each other.

If you can't enjoy it for worrying about keeping the group together riding at a pace which is not comfortable for you then why would you go on the rideout?

Blast it for a few miles if you want then pullover and have a break while you wait for those behind you! Or tootle along at your own speed, driving miss daisy, safe in the knowledge that the rest of the group will be enjoying a fag break just around the corner.
