i didnt see any advantage to starting at that time what so ever. The traffic was still a pain, and it doesnt finish any earlier, well may be an hour or so.

We set off nearer 9 and we had very long breaks (which were nice and relaxing).

But a later start would be nice, although I work weekend evenings so long rideouts might mean cutting it a bit fine for me.

Thanks for organising Sarah,

the Ride down to the chalet was like a slow speed convoy though, no wonder Mark passed us on the scoot! The only problem with really big rideouts is you can spend a lot of time queued up for the overtakes. So we split off after breakfast did a slightly different route, but made it back meet up with you lot for icecream.

that was due to a very very slow horse box and no spaces for overtaking until the dual carriageway part.

I think the problem was I could not put your face to the bike.....I ended up talkign to lots of people but not really knowing who they were or what they were riding.....except Rictus. No one could forget him!
