chicane Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 Big groups are OK cos they tend to split into smaller groups (pods) of similar pace, though it can be a real pain for the "sweeper". Rule of thumb is to keep the bike behind you in your mirrors and all stop at the next designated rest/refuelling point until the last bike arrives, if there are a lot of junctions between stops then you use can the "drop off" system. Our local IAM group always have at least 20 bikes on the monthly full day rideout and space the peeps with bike 2 bike through the group so every 3rd-5th rider is in contact with the pods ahead and behind. We also work on group riding and it really pays of when you go through a town/village or summat 20+ bikes all riding in perfect compact formation. Maybe I'm sad but if I'm near the back and can see all those bikes in front holding perfect station or the 2 lines merging in total synch it really looks soooooooooooooo cool. Quote
