is there going to be an easy off-road rideout?
- Thread starter y2blade
- Start date
YES OF COURSE
I hope so, I've only got road tyres!! 
I've off-roaded two up at GS events in the past - a lot depends on how brave you and your pillion are!
think i'll stick to the road.....
The easy ride is all road - just gravel and not tarmac. If you want it harder, just ride in the track at the side.
People get stressed out over this and they shouldn't. It's fun
Twizzle, here's a link to a video of the Novice off road ride from 2008. If you managed ok on those Spanish roads you'll be fine at the Raost
Oh BTW the "drop" just before the 2 min mark was down to user error. Always look where you are putting your feet when stopping.....

I've taken a beginners off road ride at every hog roast from 2005 (look back through past events/hograost, and even if i do say so myself they've always been very popular.
One year i even had proff along with barb riding pillion without any problems.
I won't be taking one this year, someone else will......
But i'd imagine they'll be along the same lines, taking into consideration that people don't want to fall off, don't want to damage their bikes and don't want anything difficult and just want to pooter about relaxed on the wide open spaces, even two up and with road tyres.
Looking forward to this, not taken the gs offroad yet, and have almost no offroad experience.

I'd second this. I ran one of the novice groups last year and while I was cheating by riding a pogo the aim is to inspire and give you confidence and get you doing things you wont have tried before.
Its all about starting slow and building up at a pace that suits the slowest riders in the group. The groups arent large so there's no pressure. I can't remember how many I had in my group before lunch, but I do remember a lot of big smiles.

What time will the easy off-road rideout be, and do we have to register somewhere?

If it's following the same format as last year, there will probably be marked areas set out in the car park where people can meet for the different rides.
Start time usualy around 10.00am

Can we have a Hard Road ride where we face such challenges as one way streets? Its an un tapped market I tell you.
