Lol. I think i'm the reason you had to wait for ages at the point. Or TEC made the same mistake as me(turned wrong way at shell)

Its really important to find out how the ride is organised.
It gets confusing but its the first person behind the lead rider must stop at a turning point intersection. And that person normally gets pointed to stay at the intersection by the lead rider.
Better luck next time

Only 5 of us (Must be a new series of survivor on or something. Steve from ChCh turned up on another R1200GS, (Last time he rode with us was the night before Max's clutch disatster) He must have given Max the shits as he cut out electrically just after I passed a car near Paintball. He started up straight away, so feck knows what happened. Otherwise, no problems at all.
