aye wil have to , i just dont like riding in groups of ppl that i dont know how quickly or not they ride .... specially 20!!!
and i tend to ride quite quickly ... i can do st-neots (work) to rushden on the B645 in 18mins and thats not pushing it by any means ...
and i get put off by this ... i feel uncomftable riding with one person that i know very well and know how they ride ...

18 minutes... christ mate, you'd have had at least 1/2 the GS's coming past if you were going that slow

TBH mate, 18 mins is slow.
No I am joking.
Seriously, come and give it a go.
There arent normally THAT many people on the same stretch of road at once anyhow.
The routes and and junctiuon marking tends to keep everyone fairly spaced out.
So allthough you are on the same ride you wont spend much time riding with everyone else tho most tend to find a smaller group within the group that they stick with.

TBH mate, I don't really care how fast you are.
Just come on a rideout, get some space (which is dead easy with Abel's marking system) and enjoy yourself

Come out for a spin with Sean and me sometime, and build it up from there. You soon work out who you can play hard with and who to give a VERY wide berth. Mind you Adders hasnt got a bike at the mo.

oh and the fast or not issue .. is all good and well but i find it hard and annoying to ride slower than i usually do , i get easily frustrated ... either way i will gome out on one one of these days ...

What they all said above, and elsewhere. Bloody good day and thanks.
Plus my appologies to all of my followers, I didn't realise that my front brake light switch was sticking on. Thanks to Errr? for telling me. I think I fixed it at the fuel stop garage place. Meant that I was on a yellow light and a prayer when we got to the 604 garage, phew !
Till next time.

Thanks to Commuters parents for lunch...........top people who dealt with 30 bikes on the doorstep for bacon and coffee...
Good to meet a few peeps i already knew from previous "sports bike" rides plus a load of new faces as well....
Good fun and some good company...........look forward to the next one.......
I have no idea who is who on here apart from Abel, Dr Alf,Commuter and Andy Walton but think i can guess from a few posts.............just need to find out who the other 25 were
