What time for the Sunday TCSMR?

[Grub]

Add your vote on the time we should schedule our regular sunday morning rides and let's see where it takes us.

Someboby must have been taking the pee by suggesting a default 0830 start time for the Cruisy Sunday Morning Rides. However, the point was well made by someone else that by 11am all the nanas have got their sunday hats on and are clogging the roads, particularly "The Hill".

Personally I like the idea of a bit of a sleep in and a leisurely ride to brunch late in the morning.

You could go for an early ride and then join the 11am charity ride of course? But I see you have thought of that all ready..

Why do you Socialists have to politely grovel about asking everyone permission to do anything?

Just organise a bloody ride and go for a ride with the people that turn up.

Stop worrying about other people's feelings.

We're freaking motorcyclists. Not an ugly chick bulimic society, desperately scrabbling for self esteem.

Yup Paul, this wasn't actually about this sunday per se but the regular time we should adopt for the autumn/winter

Weeeell ... last time I questioned something you posted you threw your toys out of the cot and we haven't seen you live and in person since ... just trying to play nice

[James Deuce]

I did no such thing.

One thing I've learned over the last decade or so is woe betide me should I hold a strong opinion and stick to it. Das ist verboten.

However I must acknowledge that everybody else's strong opinion is a "truth" to be obeyed and implemented.

It doesn't matter what time you set, some bugger will always whinge about it and trying to accommodate one noisy person is likely to put 5 quiet people out. The quiet people are usually nicer to be around anyway.

Dont stress, he's not really human and only exists in 3d during the full moon.. In his defence he is not stingy with coffee and jolly good company when he does actually materialise...

I object to setting time full stop - I believe spontaneous rides in different directions on alternate days should be compulsary...

Thanks mate - I didn't know you liked my company so much...

I'll second that, hubby keeps telling me no matter what I do I won't please everyone, as long as I please him that's all that matters!!!!
So you'll never please everyone, so just please yourself, you're the one putting in the effort to organise it and if it doesn't suit two people, then they don't go. (That's what I've decided for future rides, even though I've vowed not to organise any more, for much the same reason!)

[skelstar]

Just set a hand-wavy medium time and see what happens. Far too much organising going on these days...

[hsvboy06]

So you'll never please everyone, so just please yourself...

But if you're fairly indifferent, then running a poll to find out the time that suits the majority seems like a fairly simple and sensible thing to do to me.
At the end of the day Grub can choose the time and whether or not he takes into account the poll result is up to him. I might even still go even if he chooses a time different from the one that I voted for!

Well I hope not! All I've contributed is to just start the thread in the same way TCWNR was done. People will post ideas and others will just turn up at the appointed time (whatever that may be - like 6.30pm was for TCWNR).

Me, organise it? Nope, not a hope. We do just fine on the Wed night ride without it, works for me on a Sunday too.

well, as far as i know i am not bulimic so i don't take offense

That's what I was hoping the Sunday ride would be about, nice and casual.

But it would benefit from a regular start time like the Wednesday night ride, so people know they should be ok just to turn up at the same time.

The poll is a good idea to get a general idea for a start time.
