Trepidation

[caspernz]

So I'll admit I went on a small ride today (less than 500 km) as a group of three. No dogs were harmed, no pressure was felt to keep up, the law of the land was obeyed, we all rode to the same standard, and because we managed to ride with sound forward observation at no point did we risk becoming involved in an incident that was not our fault...now I'm not sure if I should be saying my prayers because I came to no harm, or do I just put it down to luck? Nah, just Roadcraft being practised.

As you were

I find if you just go faster than everyone else then pressure to keep up is not an issue!

Well our rule is the first chap back at the finish point has to buy the coffees. Seems to keep the speed in check...

Nasty smell is back. Did someone drop one?

You obviously did not read Rastus's post then about him doing no more group rides fuckwit.

quote it or fuck up.

you're a fuckwit.

i think c*ssina must be only the second or third child, conceived and birthed from an anus.
which is an impressive medical feat, but still just makes it a sack of shit.

This has all turned a bit personal. Is that really necessary?

Group ride yesterday to deliver toys to the Sallies for underprivileged children ( GCTB Toy RUN) , then a 200 k open road ride out West. 30 or so bikes, no issues, lovely day, awesome ride.
Well run with a leader, at turn off second bike stays at turn off to direct and joins to rear as last bike passes, it works a treat. Catering for all with learner riders and even had a scooter on the run, he just left earlier and caught up at designated refreshment stops Communication to all at start and at stops of destinations and riding rules is effective.

Yes, I agree. No need.

This sounds very similar to how they ran this, my first toy run and only my 2nd group ride. I was impressed with the organization and how it ran. No pressure at any stage to try and keep up with faster riders and bikes, probably due to ride leaders and officials who stopped or directed traffic at various points along the route.

The mix of riders and bikes was vast, even some of our well known local identities who have raced bikes for quite some time were amongst the group and I look forward to watching some of them at the cemetery circuit again, especially that engineering chap on his pristine Norton.

yes but do remember it was a whisper jet out front

all made it to the final destination, all respected our request to ride sensibly and stay behind the leader, having said that as we left 50km or 70km areas the lead bike just keeps the speed low until all bikes are out on the open road, works a treat and nobody feels the need to harm dogs.

was a cracker day for a ride too

Yes. The way a run goes is largely up to the lead rider. They set the pace ...

now, i may be a rude cunt, and have called some people some pretty abhorrent things, but that, is just fucking rude.
even of the worst fuckwits out there, no bastard should ever be called a c*ssina.
