They did a superb job at the TelstraClear gathering!

If we are going to "get around as best we can", then perhaps a few sacrificial lambs may like to take this task on? (Stop traffic, rejoin at the rear)

I'm sure when the numbers are estimated that turn up a chat with Mr Plod, Maha & Mully will take place and the final plan for the ride will be made clear and presented in the pre ride briefing.

Get there on time and all will become clear. Anyone joining the ride en-route will be able to see how it is managed, join the ride from the rear, allow the TEC's to drop back (they will wave you past) and follow those in front.

Do the SBSC have any thoughts to extend their product range? Scarves, f'instance, or willywarmers? Just a thought?

Actually, I do a mean line of Peter Heaters, complete with pom poms to warm the cockles, accessories

I'm happy to help additional TEC, outriding (blocking junctions etc) - did a bit of that with my old bike club in the UK. Happy to wear full on flouro jacket (with a protest vest too

) - just working on a flyer now - will post later...
