Sunday 5th Sept Wellington Ride - Guidelines

[James Deuce]

I've started a new thread because I want to organise things a little to avoid the dreaded "bins", and possibly the dreaded "infringment notice".

Could you please respond if you are attending and nominate a group to ride in.

The groups are:

1. Quick
2. Average
3. Sightseer

I'll give it a couple of days for the list to grow and then I'll publish a few guidelines with a list of groups and their members.

Cheers

Jim

PS I'm not trying to be a control freak I just want to do the briefing now and in writing rather than verbally on Sunday.

Mr jim sir -as a very very slow rider -almost pedestrian I would ask to be sent at least 4 hours ahead of all other riders and bicyclists.
I've paid to come down so I'm thinking if the green meanie isnt ready then the CBR might be a good option.
Ill be coming down with BB and a yellow number plate -ariving 8.30 sunday am.

You're all F__kers and I'm gonna be out at 3am on Sunday morning laying thumbtacks for the "Averagely Quick Sightseers"

woo hoo means i might be able to keep up with them then

[F5 Dave]

Well I’ll be going insanely quick that morning. Several hundred kph I imagine. :cool2:

Problem is I’ll be heading the wrong direction at a fair altitude.

I’ll wave out the window.

Hee heee

Thumbtacks? Is there going to be a Hitch Hikers group as well??

OK Ok. Just to keep your blood pressure down, I'll go for 'average' but I reserve the right to pass anyone I feel I can, terrify small children and annoy big boofy blokes in trucks and tell them my name is Jim2 ...

If the weather is iffy then I'm a sightseer...

If we spread out a bit, name the regrouping spots then it will all get sorted out.

HOWEVER.... If this is too much and your impulsive need to organise everyone gets too much for you, may I suggest....

Get 2 fluro vests in 2 diff colours.

The fastest local (wot knows the way) wears one, tail end charlie local wears the other. No one passes the front guy or falls behind the back guy.

At every intersection, the second placed rider (ie the person right behind the front person with the vest) stops and directs all traffic around the corner. Soon as they see the tail end charlie vest they take off and have the fun of showing off and passing everyone untill they finally get second again.

All the fast people take turns directing traffic and can thus go as fast as they like catching up!
