Does annoy me too, how long some stops can take, but we are used to filling up as a team. However sometimes there is plenty of time to chat at every stop so that's alright too. Distance not too much of a problem. Good company as well. Not too many Pointies |

Re: rideouts
I thought that would be on your requirements list Pete...
I dont like stopping all the time, I'd rather ride a good distance and then stop for something to eat and the go on again. I also dont like it when despite numerous explanations people dont drop off to mark the junctions, nothing ruins a rideout more than getting lost. Apart from that well anything goes really.

I don't really mind how long it is, I like well surfaced, twisties that keep your concentration (i find ones that have a challenging bends every mile tend to make me corner slightly worse, I lose the flow as it were) I like to ride for at least 2 hours or so before stopping. Constantly stopping again makes me lose the flow. Basically I found that the Saturday on NW4 was the perfect rideout for me.

Re: rideouts
Oh and I quite like it if theres a scenic photo opportunity stop as well. Remember the view point on AR08 after we'd been up over the tank ranges, that kind of thing to.

Re: rideouts
not really been on a ride out yet.
looking forward to new places learning to ride corners having fun not looking forward to rain, my small bladder seeing other people with infinatly better bikes than mine and end up spending a small fortune on whats supposed to be a cheap runaround |

Re: rideouts
what do you want from a rideout,
A good laugh, a bit of silliness. how far do you like to go Not too fussed, can be a 50 mile jaunt out for a brew somewhere or an epic 300 mile mission. All good fun. what types or roads do you prefere Twist ones. how often do you like to stop When all my money has dissappeared down that whirlpool in the corner of the petrol tank and it is time to add more. anything you like/dislike about them I can get a little frustrated with other riders getting under your feet. Other than that I like the banter and general fun and games
