I would usually... but the 7th is the memorial ride and post that people will hit the pub... a bridges ride where the majority of people have been drinking for almost 12 hours?
And pushing it later it butts up to the vintage jersey ride... not a problem really but there's always been a consensus to try and not plan things at the same time where possible so that there's always a nice steady stream of things to do.
What sucks is that I forced the decision to prevent the numbers being too large (which will happen if it's further into the future), and lurker desperately wants to do the ride but is heavily time-constrained and only able to do 2 dates in the next 6 weeks (if you want a ride, state the date up front or be flexible about it).
We could change it... but the 7th March (the memorial ride date) is probably a bad idea... a bit later is better, but the numbers are likely to be 150+ again, probably closer to 200 if there's too much time for people to get on board.
And as lurker said that he'd rather have the date stick and try and join us partway... well for someone time constrained that works pretty well. We've all missed stuff we've wanted to do... the saving grace is that rides and events are pretty frequent, another will be along within a few months.
