Default Ride to the AR

Picture this.

One rider leaves home in Scotland, as he travels south he meets other riders and they tag along, they pass through the north west and more riders swell their ranks. Into Yorkshire and the Midlands they ride picking up yet more riders, the noise gradually growing. They head south east and along the way more joined the intrepid band. The noise is now no longer a distant rumble but is a full blown overhead mother of all storms. people run for cover as we approach, children cling to their parents. We finally reach our destination ready to do battle and.....













.....have a bl**dy good time.

What do people reckon?

I'm sure we can sort out a suitable route between us.

Much easier to have lots of smaller groups.

You've been watching too many Bennetts adverts!

Easier is not necessarily better.

Never seen a Bennetts advert!

OMG NO!!

Although I can see the WOW factor of the Pied Piper effect I really couldn't cope with you all turning up at once.

I have plans y'know!! Dribs 'n drabs works best!

I gather from the response that this is not a popular idea!

People just normally sort themselves out and ride down in small groups with the rest of the peeps from their region or just on their own.

A big group of riders arriving all the same time is going to cause a headache for the organisers also it'll be a headache keeping everyone together on the road to and you may attract the wrong sort of attention from the police which isnt a very good idea...
