Ok, for the benefit of those who have never done group riding before, here's something to read, re-read and digest

This is in no way a comprehensive guide, just a few simple thoughts we've jotted down.



Rideout tips and ideas

Introduce yourself to the ride organiser and swap moby numbers with him and at least 1 other participant

Full tank of gas or as near as is practically possible.

Tyre pressures checked and in good condition.

Breakdown cover. Check if your bike is covered in the event of an accident or breakdown. Full recovery is best. And make sure you have contact numbers for them.

ICE (In case of emergency numbers) These should be in your phone under that heading. Should someone need to be contacted on your behalf.

Map. If you haven't got proper ones then rip out the page(s) of an old map book, or get a photocopy, or print one off the internet. It is NOT the responsibility of the organiser to get you home.

Waterproofs. Just because it's sunny doesn't mean it's gonna stay so.

If you're using a dark visor, bring your clear one as well.

DO Keep an eye on your mirrors.

DO Ride responsibly.

DO Stagger your position on the road so as to maximise forward
observation and braking distances.

DO ENJOY YOURSELF


DON'T Do anything you're not comfortable with. It's not a race .

DON'T Follow too close to the bike in front and don't fixate on them.

DON'T Assume the rider in front knows what he's doing.

DON'T Stop if one of the group get pulled over.

DON'T Worry about keeping up and what the others might think.

DON'T CRASH!

Y'know, as this is a gentle bimble, I possibly, maybe, might, be able to make this on the ol' 125. Mett up at Daventry - if I'm there I'm there, if not...

Hey - nothing like commitment...


... and that was nothing like it!

You would be more than welcome, K. Then we would finally see if you really do have blue hair

Right, Bad and Sean you both have PM's. As for getting Bad back, i can get him to follow me and i'll head him in the right direction.

Weather looks a good un, according to Metcheck Sun all day Woohoooooo

The temperature is still pretty low though. I think we have highs of 7C.

I was going to go to Ankara on business next week, but lows of -17C are forecast. To hell with that.

7 degrees isn't that bad, and when you're in the sun it will feel like...................ooh...................9 degrees

You can keep -17 though!
