Default Re: ride to bude = 240 miles...

£144 quid!! Mental. I was going to say maybe start out on the motorway to get yourself and the lady settled two up. You both will soon become bored and she'll probably enjoy a bit of gentle leaning on the A roads and the feeling on making progress when you overtake (maybe not overtaking, it used to scare my girlfriend).
The other thing I would say if that it will be good practice for the rescue rideout won't it? I meanyour going to be roughly in the same situation when that comes around.

On the other hand if it's something she really doesn't want to do and is agreeing to go on reluctantly then its really not worth forcing the issue.
I used to try and get kerri on the back as much as I could and finally when she did each time was hell for her which made it hell for me. In the end I realised it wasn't enjoyable for me or her so I stopped asking her to go on the back.
And then after I crashed I then vowed never to take her on the back.

bad times, unfortunately , everythings now booked with a large whole in my pocket before weve even got there :/

im thinking of trying a large ride with her before the resque one also just to get used to the long rides. shes agreed to the rescue ride and the practice so i think she may be more confident afterwards
