Hi,

As this is local to me I may be interested, what sort of pace will the ride be?

Normal group ride pace I suppose. Need to be m-way legal so no real slowbies.

About 125 miles, coffee / light lunch / fuel stops.

Should be back to the bridge by 15.00 latest.

Ok, well I will see how work pans out and see if I can make it, I'm not the slowest rider, but not the quickest either as still getting used to being back on 2 wheels again.

If I can make it and the pace is a little too quick for me I'm happy to drop off at the first stop and take a bimble home Lol

It's not a problem DC, everyone rides at their own pace. You will be fine. A back-marker will always be behind you, and if you don't want to do any junction marking you can stay near the rear. It's not a race, it's a lovely ride around some great scenery.

We can do some intros, and I will read the riot act slowly. Probably 10 of us now !
If you're au fait with 2nd man drop-off / back-marker then we can slope off as soon as you appear. No pressure then :twisted:
