I mustn’t allow one experience to sour my view on the Ride it Events
I think they’re great. Well organised, good routes, friendly etc.
My one bad experience was going the opposite way on some single track bridleway when not taking part. Being on the receiving end of riders choosing to forget they were on a public track used by other members of the public made me think about the validity of the concept. Then I did BORS the next weekend (#hypocrite) though in their defence they don’t publish times (a good thing IMHO).
I’ve hurt my arm so can’t ride much off road. The long road ride on Sunday maybe just what I need. I wonder if it’s the same course.
