Definitely keen for a longer ride, both options look good Koz.
I won't be able to make Wedsorry.
Can I throw a couple things out there to be considered for this Sundays ride.
- having scheduled/planned stops (not too close together)
- 2-3 groups each with a designated tail end charlie (I'll volunteer)
- watching spacing from others in the group, especially in traffic and twisties
- sharing luggage (I'll have plenty of space in my Ventura pack)
Cheers & have a good week.

All sound like good options, maybe we should have a yarn about groupings before we go on sunday, i am putting my tailbag on so i will be sweet storage but thats a really cool offer, i am hoping weather is good enough for a swim, there's a cool rock to jump off there
I will bring all these up tomorrow at the pub i think they are good ideas, i am sure there's a way to plan these things better.
I have put a few points on that map for gas and a cuppa tea just not noted them overly well in the calendar appt.

Nice to have some ideas but I personally take issue with the suggestions that fundamentally goes completely against what the whole group was set up for. If we are going to set off in separate groups with infrequent stops and designated tail end charlies we may as well form 3 groups doing there own ride and thing!! The whole idea of the group is to be one and ride at your own pace and groups will form naturally. As you will see by the calendar it is not a race, it is a group that new riders can join, ride at there own pace with others and feel comfortable. By placing riders into groups you set a competitive mindset and also ostracise the new learner and laxed out riders and they may as well join the other groups that ride to race, at the end of the day they are going to be at the back alone and meet up only at the end.
The beauty of this group is that most wait at any intersection where someone may take the wrong way and there are frequent stops so that the newer and laxed riders can catch up share a smoke, a question or just enjoy each others company. The faster riders can do their thing but realise that they may have to wait an extra 5 minutes when we all stop. (Gives Ian a chance for 2 smokes). By doing this we encourage newer riders and through this I feel we have made some pretty damn good friends, grown and continue to grow.
Well thats my sermon. another 11.pm finish 6am start. 2 days in a row so I am grumpy. Whens the pub open!!!

I agree with you murray the idea is that whatever your level of riding there is always someone else in the group at the same level so therefore you get tp ride in a group wether it be large or small. the faster riders can go at there pace and if they feel like can hang back with the learners and just cruise, im happy with that format because it gives me a chance to ride with a lot of different people.(2 smokes more like 3) especially if ive had an ass twitching moment see you all tonight.

Our horse is racing at 3.12pm today in Greymouth. All being good hopefully I may get to watch it at The Rapa. Names Polly Rocket Race 7, looks like it may go out favorite, its paying $5 at the mo and should win. No guarantees though!!!

Yeah i like the way we have it, i do think that we need to keep the numbers down perhaps we should move towards having 2 routes that meet in the middle somewhere as the group grows so its easier to keep track and head-count.I agree with you murray the idea is that whatever your level of riding there is always someone else in the group at the same level so therefore you get tp ride in a group wether it be large or small. the faster riders can go at there pace and if they feel like can hang back with the learners and just cruise, im happy with that format because it gives me a chance to ride with a lot of different people.(2 smokes more like 3) especially if ive had an ass twitching moment see you all tonight.
Not sure, we should have a yarn about it in person anyways.

Didn't mean to offend Murray, just noticed when there are a number of turns the fast guys (not me cos I'm a nana
I certainly wasn't suggesting having to stick to certain groups, because it is good to move around and cruise if you want. I was meaning a tail-end charlie more in the sense of safety to pick up on anyone having a problem and maybe phone ahead.
Beautiful day today, might go for a ride!
