Well This is not intended for a fast ride-out hooning about. Certainly these roads are challenging if taken at speed, but there should be no pressure to keep up. Because these roads are twisty, they are also very scenic. So take your time and enjoy the view.

Once the routes are finalised, we can prepare some route directions (not me given my Left / right dyslexia! ) so folks can find thier way. We should also employ normal ride-out custom of the last person in a group waiting at a junction for next rider to arrive, so no one gets lost. We can also use a 'sweeper' who knows the way to pick up any lost sheep. That way, if you are not sure of the which way to go, wait and someone will arrive to help you out. Also helps with break downs.

HTH

PS Anyone who might be put off coming cos it sounds like a fast ride, believe me it is not intended to be. After all, I'll be on the ride and I'm not noted for my speed.
