Sounds good mate, will have to check it out sometime

Also, back on topic - I've never been on a group ride out before, so if someone wants to explain the riding systems and what not to me I will be most grateful

It's easy mate.

The leader will lead the whole ride, at a turn, junction etc he will point at the junction, rider directly behind him will stop and mark that junction until the TEC (tail end charlie) comes past.

Do not, under any circumstance, leave that junction until the TEC has come past unless you're told otherwise, this is how we lose people.

It's straight on unless it's marked at islands etc

We generally ride in staggered formation, this gives you double the stopping distance so you don't rear end the rider in front of you.

Don't ride too close to the guy in front either cos if he gets a corner wrong you won't have time to react.

We thought you Madlanders might like to come to Essex for this event - they've got a slow riding competition set up for you!

It's in Colchester, so I reckon if you all set off now you might just make it by 29th April, via France.
