2009-03-07 Sat - Eilidh memorial ride - 12:30pm Start Time

Hello
I spoke to Giles about this the other day. He was going to meet with the 'organising team' last night I think.
We decided the most dangerous thing to do was for us to stop and the site and all get off and mill around.
The best thing would be to go very slowly passed (like walking pace) and carry on through to the Mitre and the park, and park our bikes down there and then we can walk back up. We dont want 240 bikes blocking up the street.

Will leave it to Giles or others to confirm.

Anything you decide, but FYI such memorial celebrations have often taken place over the years on Critical Mass rides, and the police who accompanied the ride (who I guess might not be on this one, and of course they no longer accompany Critical Mass) and motorists to whom the situation was explained were always very respectful. Sometimes, people are willing to make allowances for exceptions from the usual default of traffic flowing 24/7. But it needs good stewards who go from car to car explaining it.
