    Cool, its the pointer system when we only have a few bikes that kill it, as anyone up front soon gets pegged back as a pointer then im all alone again

    Ok google is being highly unhelpful. What exactly is the pointer system? Other than a "good and safe way to ride"
    What's the point in living if you don't feel alive?

    Toying with ones mortality shouldn't be this much fun.

    It's a system used in a group situation ride whereby, the front rider waits at a corner/turn until everyone is around said corner, then proceeds to carve up the group to get to the front again, the last part is not a safe practice when there are learners within the group, which is why the system is not used on our group rides, we ride as groups, and if it so happens that any group stretches out, it is up the lead rider to manage/correct the speed until the others have caught up. The more people knowing the route the better. Different systems work for different rides. We have had lead riders just fuck off and seemingly not give a shit about what's going on behind them, makes for an interesting change of scenery at times, but they wont be used in that roll again.

    How dare you talk like that on the ATNR thread.
    ATNR needs to go back to being a race to the pub, and most bins wins.
    Not a hi vis parade.

    Was always an entertaining read around 10pm on a Thursday night Pete, big turn outs, Police watching the thread, code posting by those in the know, 10% of attendees walking home except those who came in a car ahhhhhhhhh the memories

    What's the point in living if you don't feel alive?

    Well it's only 1850 some of the non posters may turn up.

    I usually meet them at the pub after doing my own thing. Cause I'm not as fast as the rest of you. I'll be at least 45min till I've finishe up here.
