MONS Posted August 29, 2012 Share We don't have a beer stop on route but the beers will be ready when you finish!(we start and finish at a restaurant) The route is shorted then the previous ride, we thought of having a mid ride stop but keeping the group together might become a bit of a issue! so we ride and then we drink! Sounds good to me!! Less chance of getting injured trying to cycle after a few! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooiWillie Posted August 29, 2012 Share shite! Judging from the pics, I see everyone got lights on their bikes. Is this compulsory? Not going to fork out another few hundred just for a ride It is a fairly big group with guys on bikes as marshals... SO if you stay in the group, you will be more than ok! + There is street lights...

Evan Andreou Posted August 29, 2012 Share The 4-5 abreast of the last ride was not making us too many friends among the motorists on the night, any ideas how to avoid this problem going forward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q_here Posted August 29, 2012 Share The 4-5 abreast of the last ride was not making us too many friends among the motorists on the night, any ideas how to avoid this problem going forward? We will ride 3 abreast... heheheh (that’s me laughing at my own joke) There will be spots where we have more road and others were we will have to fit in what we have. Remember that the CM ride is just that we take over the road to a certain extent.(you are responsible for your own safety though) The other idea is to entice the motorist to the point of inquisitiveness rather than irritate them!

Anine Posted August 29, 2012 Share By guys on bikes, do you mean bicycles or motorbikes? bicycles. we're going traditional for this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Andreou Posted August 29, 2012 Share bicycles. we're going traditional for this one Let us know how that works out. The route is going to have to be significantly different from the last one or you guys should make sure you have enough body bags.What seems like like a cool route when 4/5 people are riding can turn into an unmitigated disaster when 70-100 people of varying abilities are involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
