Stu Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 For those that are nervous about group riding or want some info on it just do a search on here there is shed loads of info . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 I will lead the 125/chilled route 2 and will brief everyone before we leave and chat about the way we ride. Tbh the easy way is just to keep the person behind go your mirror so if one person slows down we all do, and if it rains we will hide in a bus shelter somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattycoops43 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Tracy is coming for a ride, and I will be doing route two as she is up the duff and i want to be a bit careful. My question is, are they running simultaneously, or can I go for another ride solo for a bit of a blast?or, will there be other people wanting to go out for a spin?Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
