Personally it doesn't worry me.
However, on this ride we have motorcyclists of all abilities riding all kinds of bikes. Some may have pillions, some may have bikes unable to make the gradient and some might just prefer to take the route with great views.

Fear not outsider the Tesco has 24hr pumps now and is a wee bit further on from Mc D's. Instead of left into Maccys go straight on then 3rd exit @ the next roundabout and the next right on that road.dan90210 wrote:Hokey cokey and turn around.
