truxx Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Thought i'd add.In the unlikely event my bike is sold between now and saturday i will have to pull out of this,but like i say this is very unlikely...Also,can we decide whos following who?I'm really useless with directions so would prefer someone who knows their way round to lead?I assume normal group riding rules apply(like leaving plenty of room between each rider,no trying to overtake on the way into a corner...that sort of thing? I've had a few bad experiences going on rides out with people i dont know ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allym316 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 sorry i cant make sunday its too full of boy racers for me up there the road up is nice via Crook ... look out for the sharp left to Alston. The one back via Hexham is much more difficult.. watch out for pheasants and theres a steep hairpin going up hill that can take you by surprise. lots of mud on the roads at this time of year too.Would suggest you have 2 folks that know where theyre going.. front and back marker? Stick to your place in the group (its bad enough other riders passing you let alone watching for your own group passing and its a gentle ride anyway?) and ride to your mirrors, if you cant see the bike behind, then slow down till you can? You could always try the drop off system http://www.newstyletours.com/tours/dropoff.html its easier than it sounds and then you're not worrying about playing catch up?Hope you guys enjoy the day whichever way you go and see you out and about soon... what about the Wetlands meet on a Wed/ Sunday evening?

As aboveWot kind of pace?Would say at or about the speed limits although once we get to hartside or the road on the way up the hill if anyone wanted to go faster than the rest of us are then they could just break off and would see them at the top. I am not planning on doing any gr8 speeds at all and i know dogpatch is the same, done know about you newcastlefalcons???Sorry to hear your not out dave, Hope you have a good day whatever you do.
