dancing james - if you want to go by train meet at liv st station in good time to get ticketed and coffeed etc for the 19:13. the guys like to be ready by 19:00 so that as soon as the platform number comes up they are first on, thus saving potential hassle. if you want to ride out with scarlet and the others meet them where hippy linked you to. i'll repost the details later and the map of the ride itself (now read @all)
@all - details for ride and map will be posted later just to remind everyone. please print off a copy of the map just in case something happens. plenty of us know the way but plenty don't and if you should get lost for any reason you'll be truly f**ked without it.
@ hippy + all - the chop with pace and stops......good question! the pace on the last ride was about 17 mph which i think was pretty high considering we had a lot of new faces. there are a lot of good riders here and they chomp at the bit on these flat rides but having said that i think we should play it cool and stick together again until the last romp home which turned into a free for all and kinda worked. STOPS - well to be honest the TNRC is all about not stopping. if we ride hard enough we should make it to the pub with plenty of time for a pint before the train home otherwise only punctures and technicals really call a halt to the riding. Don't be put off by this anyone who thinks they will be suffering, talk to myself , jonny or any of the regulars if you are feeling in need of a couple of minutes for a refresher, we will gladly bring the group to a halt at a junction. The TNRC prides itself on it's riding etiquete.
RIDING ETIQUETE - just a quick word - could we all please make an effort to go single file if you hear a shout of 'car behind' . This just makes everyones lives easier, safer and takes but a few seconds.
