Sounds like you could be organising your first rideout Mike...

To be honest if you wait for someone else too then it may never happen - so I just looked on a map and chose a route - tested it out one weekend and posted a date - you wont please everyone but I think my rideout went ok really.... despite what Pete may say!

But the roads that I know are crap, it's pancake territory out here! What sort of think did you do for the rideout Skip? How did you choose a route?

For those who don't know my sense of humour, Skips run was excellent.

Anyway, even if it hadn't have been, I'm grateful for somebody having the impetus to organise one.

OK I've got no idea, I haven't been on a rideout, haven't been riding long. I don't mind doing something, but will need people to let me know the sort of thing they're after: things to avoid, things not to avoid, how many breaks, how long to ride for, how far etc.I don't mind giving it a go.

Good one to avoid, towns unless they lead to good twisty roads, holes in the road (so look for good surface, this is why Northampton is always outta the question, even though the roads i like are a lot of fun, you just need to know how to ride it), not too many borin straights, there are other bits...
