It was just a couple of overtakes where ive though "Ahhhh what you doing!? mentalist." Close to cars and things on overtakes is all... I guess when you have 33bhp you do take more risks. At least thats what I found, now I have all the power ill probably ever need I ride a lot steadier.

On the catherine wheel run I was in "one of those" moods... At least the only thing caught on camera was a good overtake

North yorkshire moors are terrable, though they are good at clearing them with it always being bad Looks like heavy snow again for the thursday (ment to be traveling home Friday FFS)

What an insult, my makeup bag is the only extra thing I bring other that the odd tshirt

yes diZee, freaky ghost twins speaking welsh at me, can't understand a bloody word they sayin

The mods will be so happy to delete this thread after the rideout

[Dave20046]

I didn't know that either


Anyway back on topic (topic?)
Who's confident enough to take the lead/marker positions in 'the system' or is that something better established on the day? Personally I doubt I'll be anygood at it especially as this snow is intent on making me come on this run (if atall)as pretty much the first bit of riding I've done in 6 months.

****in snow

Marker positions are filled by whoever happens to be behind the leader at the time. Leader will generally point at where he wants a marker to stay.

Marker remains in place until TEC goes past. Possibly Pmapp, but that is to be confirmed. Then you just join back in with the back of the ride.

I'm not sure about leader yet, I may do it but I'm not sure yet. There are a few decent riders who are quicker and maybe better suited for it than me.

On the Mway it's easy as we just ride stacked up, no marking there because it's too fackin dodgy to sit still on the hard shoulder at junctions!



If anyone goes straight through instead of marking/ leaves their spot before TEC appears/otherwise gets everyone lost then I am going to feed their bike to them!

can i suggest you pop that in your other thread too hun

[yorkie_chris]

Aye will do.

Try keep the discussion in this one though to help anyone who hasn't read through all 770 posts of this!
