AR15 Help
I'm going to be putting in a bid for AR15 but I don't think I can do the whole thing on my own. The reason being, no-one else has yet.
If any of you are willing to help I would be most grateful, there may even be a pint or two in it for you. I'm going to need a TEC and as many markers as possible. The TEC could be anyone really but the markers need to be confident overtaking and capable of getting back to the front of the pack. I'm hoping for around 10-12 markers if possible but it could be done with fewer. I am also open to any and all suggestions and improvements to routes, stops etc. Thanks in advance guys, your help would be very much appreciated.

T ail E nd C harlie.
It means that you are the last bike on the run You basically have a bib or something like that so your easy identified by the marker.

Re: AR15 Help
And it helps if you know the roads well, especially if you have to go off looking for lost bods! Not that people will get lost if you've got enough markers. And it's usually my husband who gets lost on Essex rides, even though we live there, I just leave him to it
It's quite fun to be TEC as you are always playing catch up.

AR15 Help
I will be taking the markers and TEC round the route multiple times so they know where they're going.

Re: AR15 Help
I don't mind either tbh, helping out this weekend on the toy run in reading. But I'll come and have a look at the route whenever you go.

So it is a no from me this time. The one bit of advice I would give, is that markers should be competent overtakers rather than confident. I have been on rideouts before (not just with the Org) where too many markers have too much confidence, and then feck it up for others.
