From there Badger will lead the ride back to the cafe where we can get some bacon butties etc and a mug of tea

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE FUELLED UP WHEN YOU GET TO YOUR MEETING POINT

We will be running a LEADER, TAIL END CHARLIE and JUNCTION MARKER setup so as not to lose anyone.

LEADER FROM EXETER TO DRUM BRIDGES - COLIN(rsv4COL)
LEADER FROM DRUM BRIDGES - SIMON(billinom8s)
LEADER FROM LANDS END - JOHN(BADGERKDD)

TAIL END CHARLIE ??????


ALL RIDERS WILL BE ASKED TO JUNCTION MARK, if you have never done this before don't panic. All you have to do is stop when the ride leader points to a junction, make sure you stop before the junction so everyone knows when to turn.
Then just sit back and wait for the TEC (tail end charlie) to come past - you may have a bit of a wait as the ride can get broken up sometimes, depending on how many riders we get.
WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T LEAVE THE JUNCTION UNTIL TEC COMES THROUGH, THIS WAY WE WILL NOT LOSE ANYONE.
OTHER PEOPLE WILL BE RELYING ON YOU FOR A GOOD DAY AS MUCH AS YOU ARE RELYING ON THEM FOR THE SAME.

FOR THOSE WORRIED ABOUT FUELLING

Is the plan for this to b posted limits like a friendly? I don't mind playing TEC for the night

Me leading from Penzance..... Oh testicles I had best look at the route then ;)

Disclaimer: Route may be subject to change due to time constraints, general agreement, leader forgetting the official route, over excitement and wanting to show everyone some great roads etc...... ;) ;)

Or at worst me forgetting I'm leading and riding straight home closely followed by twenty odd bikes and scaring the crap out of my house mates

No I think it's more a sensible ride than a friendly ride

Maybe best somone with a little more experience and speed plays tec then...

i would have thought that would be best for TEC, you know you won't miss anyone ;)

And ne way, with your new baby you should be plenty quick enough..
