Dust off the Red and White as we will be riding out to honour England’s Patron Saint…Those who went last year dig out your medals and wear them with pride
Meet will be at The Ace! - Set off time to be advised!
Details
Date - Sunday 22nd April 2007
Set Off Time - Meet Time 9:00 for a 9:30 set off!
Location - Ace Cafe - St Georges Mount and back again.
We’ll head off from the Ace. This will be a one group ride and will be lead by MattCBF600 (thanks Matt and your Tom Tom!). The route will be similar to last years for those that went. I need a couple of peeps to help out Flat’s and myself - one to help me at the tail and a couple of others to keep an eye on the group - a couple of First Aiders will be nice too.
The café that was used as meet point has been ruled out this year - she’ll have another fit so best avoided - BRING A SOMETHING TO EAT FOR THE LUNCH STOP!!! - plenty of parking but low on food facilities.
Cornerman system will be in operation! Again as on the France trip stop at the point given by the leader and wait for the 2 rear markers (I’ll be one of them) to pass you. There is no need to worry about being left behind - if people do the corner job properly then all will be well.
Remember the pace at the front is set by Matt based on the pace of the riders behind him so slower riders to the front please! - however we’ll sort all that out on the day however if you’re uneasy at speed don’t go at the back - it’s the fastest part of the group…
All please note - this is a fun ride out! Please respect all local traffic laws blah blah blah - no doubt they are watching threads like this so best of order ladies and gents please and let the show commence!
loopy will be there too, although it seems very early to announce patrick didnt realise you had actually started a thread already its over four months away seems a bit premature.
its better doing a build it and they will come, than ask, then bulid it… but there you go!!! thats jus my opinion
but never mind it will be a great sucsess no doubt just worth pointing out if your not prepared to do the corner man and put a little effort in other than riding your bikes do not put your name down last year was excellent apart from that very thing
so is that the way its gonna be now the top bods get it in early to steal the crown of past events??? would of been nice to have asked if i wanted to help or have any plans for another seeing as i had a large hand in the other one, i know its not anyones job especially mine but being asked if i was organising summin then seeing its already been done by the person who asked is a bit rough i guess it has to be seen as LB not andf individual or certain group of people … oh well never mind but my assistance is there if required
Fair points there mate, however I’m keen to ensure that all the little details are covered early. And I know you love a c
It looks like this will be a popular ride so it will pay us dividends to plan - e.g stops cornermen etc. At this stage it’s just a date in the calendar (that reminds me I need a host to put it in the LB Calendar please)
I’m just trying to make sure we are ahead of the game with making arrangements at any stops etc.
sorry dude I don’t think any offence was meant I just think Patrick was being a bit proactive - nothing wrong with that - he’s just put a date down that’s all - everyone’s help is needed…! Yours more than anyones… you great big yella biker you… is this because I took the piss out of your tash in the urinal thread? It is init… go on admit it!
nothing wrong with that tash… its still stuck inside the inside of my wallet,
just making a point thats all but there isnt that much to plan unless you complicate things, the corner man works everytime but only if people do it religiously i have some ideas i could bring to the table that i would of implemented on a large ride but ill bring them to the table nearer the time if you want. i was jus makin that point thats all being asked then seeing its done already… but not dwelling on it i know for a fact by going on last years one that puppy neil and me did this will be more than one or two people could organise…
its over four months away seems a bit premature.
