I can do medium! no farm tracks tho!                                                                                                                                                                             

Aww, what's up with farm tracks Julie! A bit slippy/grassy for ya?                                                                                                                                                                             

I dont do cross country! its strictly tarmac only!                                                                                                                                                                             

With paint JJ - don't forget the paint!                                                                                                                                                                              

aye lots of paint on the roads too.... and traffic! I love it me!!!                                                                                                                                                                             

Oh yes, got to have some traffic to play with - where's the fun otherwise!                                                                                                                                                                              

its the best fun, nowt like a busy sat afternoon round town seeing the look of shock on the faces of the poor buggers going shopping with wifey when they see a girly out to play on a proper bike! start the day with half an hour of that then razz off to the seaside! at a medium speed!

Speaking of which, when you gizzing us a go?                                                                                                                                                                             

As a pilly, I think I am starting to learn a little about what riding etiquette is.   Not just etiquette really, but also sensible riding in groups.   I am amazed at how much I do take in relating to the above as a pilly.                                                                                                                                                                             

Gloom you summed it up extremely well   Everyone has the choice to go or not to go, I for one would rather know what type of ride out it was going to be as my bike doesn't lend itself very well to hurtling round corners with my knee down ( or maybe that's just me ). I don't resent groups that want to, and have the ability to do fast riding, good on them if that is their thing.  I was recently on the Scotland Tour and have to say that Jim and Loon did a fantastic job keeping up all in order.  Previously at Into the Valley Bikerbill and Loon did the same on a ride out Scarborough.  I would imagine that is the case with the majority of ride outs, so hope folk aren't put off attending group ride out as they are fun  There are so many other options on this site in events and if there isn't anything to suit, then create one - simples!  Live and let live, as there are more important things to get aerated about  ride safe everyone and have fun                                                                                                                                                                              

Well said Bobcat, there are too many divisions in life, without there being divisions in biking.
We are all the same yet different, thats what makes us all unique, yet individual.
Life would be pretty boring if we were all the same
                                                                                                                                                                             

Hear hear bobcat. Same with the weather permitting thread - each to their own indeed!                                                                                                                                                                              

If any of you are going to the Kiss Rally there is a ride out that is a 125 Learner friendly if any of you would like a faster knee down jobb let us know and will get it planned out for you
