banishing demons
 

the AR route looks super, roads up there look familiar, however there appears to be a little demon I need to banish on the Leyburn to Middleham road. By the looks of the map It looks likely I'll have to tackle this.. One near head on collision made me vow never to ride that again last year,. I'm no wuss but i can still see it in my head clear as day. So if your riding with Dizzyblonde on that road please help her to ride through it. It'll make her rather nervous. Slow down, ride a bit odd, panic all that sort of stuff.
I kinda wanted to get that out of the way before I go. There thats better.

There is a great place up there called the forbidden corner, a must for trippy hippies an children
Looking forward to the weekend rather much now:D

On the odd occasion I get all girlie when I don't like something, you know stamp me feet. It really was a poop my pants moment! your right it'll be over in a flash, but, I can see myself going oh no, oh no, oh no, open your eyes you silly woman!!!!!
I shout in my helmet a lot, bit of a road rager in disguise, honest!!

Re: banishing demons
 

Yeah me too, I sometimes do a running commentary as Im riding along, somethink like 'oi OI ! open yer eyes mate, dont you dare pull out' etc etc, caught meself doin it one day felt such a prat !lol

Re: banishing demons
 

I personally have no quarms about hanging back behind a nervous rider & ensuring they have plenty of space to feel comfortable. If I'm behind you at that point in the ride, consider it a given (so long as I notice you're uncomfortable etc).

I'm sure most others feel the same as me, nothing to worry about. Just ride the ride (including that section) for yourself, and not the bike in front. ;)

Wot Baph said
I am assuming the group will be roughly split up into groups with about the same skill levels(?) so just fit in were you feel most comfortable

Re: banishing demons
 

I handed my other half a copy of the group ridin tips, I found on here, on saturday and highlighted the bit
Do not over take the group leader........... IF YOU WANT TO RIDE FASTER, RIDE ON YOUR OWN
The part of the ride i'm not looking forward to matthew had buggered off and left me..he had a little problem of overheating on his ypvs last year, so his excuse was ride like the clappers everywhere. and wait for me to appear over the horizon. hhhhmmm excuses.
This year on his Raptor he will behave...the boss has given him orders:smt014
