How rude.
If you don’t behave, I will put your name down for one of mine

Would that be ‘alone’?

Saturday yes- loved it. Contemplation, reflection, pausing and taking in the view. You can’t stop, chew slowly and relax if your in a group holding everyone up looking at this/such a view that I had at 7am one morning in autumn:

Sunday I rode with one other- a mate who is about several rungs above my skills level. A good laugh was had.

IIRC you went on an evening local mid-skill level sort of ride – which I suspect ain’t really your cup of tea??

It was a Sunday am ride around the Roman Lakes (bloody ell my memory) and it was in 2005 I think.

@fluff shame you don’t ride anymore otherwise I’d take you up on that offer 😉

+1 for everything fluff said, far more eloquently put than I can be bothered to type but he probably has work to do.

@hora **** awesome photo & moot point both solo rides & group rides have their place. Can’t beat the flexibility of riding on me tod & ‘getting lost’ or heading out at stupid o clock with breakfast. There’s also been some pretty mint mmb rides which I’d struggle to emulate outside of mmb

Its all good/alles klar!

You can’t stop, chew slowly and relax if your in a group

You can; just pick the right group for your needs.

Right day of the week, right location…but you’re a few years out Hora! It was 4th October 2009

Bumped Into one of the MMs today at Clayton Vale (looks like Flavio Briattori). Nice bloke and he didnt kill me 🙂
