DS650, I,m with you, standing at the door of your bunker waiting for the rocks to be thrown.
Ride Leaders should limit the riders to what they,re happy with, they,re leading, so its their choice and thankyou to them for taking the time to lead a ride in the first place.
If they want 3 riders max, good luck to them, they have my support.
However, keeping to small numbers because it may annoy others was a great premis and has not done us any good at all.
If we want to ride in groups of 50, we should, as long as the ride leaders are happy.
I,ve not read, seen or heard, one word of appreciation from any resident, environmentalist, rambler, councillor, or farmer, that we ride in small groups to create less annoyance, so sod em. Its time we showed the public how many there are of us, saturate and advertise I say.
