If I want to set a world record I ride by myself, riding in groups is more about the social aspect for me Smile


missed the point i was trying to make, which is that its bad form to turn up late and not really to ride.


Wasn't talking to you Brent! Tongue it

Just making a general comment on riding Smile

If you're going out boozing, you have to take the guys your riding with tomorrow. When everyone is hungover its fine, when one guys is always lagging off the back and feeling esra, it's way less fun...

I am a pretty forgiving group rider, I just get ssiped if guys take deathtrap bikes that you know something is going to break on half way into the ride.

If your walking up a hill and the person behind you is still riding youve gotta move the hell outta the way! The group that I ride with are pretty good at this. We have mean group rides sometimes 30+ people with a varing dregee of ability, fittness, age (17-50odd) and bike type (everything from scott scale LTD to a speccy enduro). But we all get along and have places were we usually stop and re group. Mmm i like these rides, much fun.
