I probably won't make this now, as I suspect I will be required to go for a ride at a rather more leisurely pace ........ following a newbie rider around at his pace :shock:

And no, despite the posted rules the ride will still be too far/too quick for a moped :80: :roll: :cry:

I'm hoping it's a bit better than that - I hope it should be able to make around 40mph :shock: :D

Anyway, i drive 1000 miles a week now, so the last thing i really wanna do at the weekends is drive/ride anymore.... :cry: :cry:
