Ride at your own speed and don't be temped into riding faster than you feel comfortable doing.

Its not a race its a rideout :wink:

Normally on an organised rideout the route is marked and junctions by somebody from the front of the pack so theres no need to worry about getting lost. Whoever is running the rideout will explain everything before you leave to start the rideout.

Don't worry about it just turn up and enjoy your day out.

Your bike suits you mate, and not just because it's disabled ;)

Hovis5, there's always a slight chance folks get lost, even with the highly tedious marking of junctions :wink: So...its a good idea to have at least a small idea of the route and have agreed meet up points. Thats what I usually do, say 'We will all meet at 'X'* next after a stop. Then if someones lost they can find there way there in due course. Even the slowest catch up, as breaks are frequent and usually one of the fastest goes the wrong way :lol: . But a good idea to have so waypoints in your head. Just following with no idea where your going can lead to getting lost. But 9 times out of 10 it all goes well.

*I dont actually say 'X' unless the place really is called X, which isnt often :lol:

I really want to do this rideout this coming weekend but I'm already committed to mountain biking, which I know will be a good crack but damn, this motorcycling lark 'aint half addictive.

I'm looking to agree a go/no-go for Saturday 30th by Wednesday 27th.

All those currently up for the 30th say "Bananas"

p.s. If anyone knows a decent lunch stop en-route let me know - I'm immediately excluding the Red Lion at Avebury on previous experience.

the white rabbit 20-09-06 10:54 AM

Pineapples (weather permitting) for 30th. Lunch nice, not Red Lion tho. Cant stand it there.

I get back in the country early Friday, not sure what the weekend activities are at the moment. Might say bananas then. Can PM contact number and let you know nearer the time.

For lunch I'm going to suggest this place in Cheddar, I've been there before.

Also means if some people want to have an extra bit of play up and down through the gorge twisties they can do while the others chill out.
