Meetings

Our meetings are held on the 3rd Sunday of the month
WHERE POSSIBLE PLEASE RIDE IN A STAGGERED FORMATION. THIS GIVES RIDERS A BETTER VIEW OF THE ROAD AND THE GROUP WILL TAKE UP LESS ROOM ON THE ROAD When riding as a group keep close together, when stopping - side by side please, move off together in pairs always leave room for another bike next to yours. Roundabouts, group-up in pairs, go round in pairs. This will reduce the chance of a rider having to take risks to keep up, or the group getting split up, always, if you stop, make sure there is room on the right of your bike for another bike and rider.

All road signs must be observed as must all speed limits. Maximum consideration must be shown to all road users.

THE LAY-OFF SYSTEM FOR GROUP RIDING.
WE ARE NOW USING THIS SYSTEM THE LEAD BIKE WILL INDICATE A POSITION FOR THE BIKE BEHIND TO PULL OVER AS A DIRECTION MARKER FOR THE GROUP.
This is normally done by pointing to an area on the road where the Marker Bike is to stop. This bike acts as a direction marker for the rest of the group USING HAND SIGNALS ONLY, turn off indicators. ALL THE GROUP PASS THE DIRECTION MARKER BIKE, WHEN THE TAIL-END BIKE ARRIVES THE MARKER BIKE PULLS AWAY IN FRONT OF THE TAIL-END BIKE AND FOLLOWS THE GROUP TO THE NEXT DIRECTION MARKER BIKE.
This system works even if the group is broken-up in traffic, as the marker bike
MUST always remain in place until the TAIL END BIKE arrives.
THE LEAD BIKE AND TAIL END BIKE WILL HAVE YELLOW REFLECTIVE OVER JACKETS

Sunday 15th Jan run to Brading Roman Villa:
Before I start I would like to thank everyone who has voiced support and concern since my accident last November, also thanks for the welcome on Sunday. What a bitter day but that didn't stop 18 bikes joining the first run of 2012. This particular run has some challenging twists and turns, the sun was shining but very low which makes riding west difficult, most of the route was east and south. The cold wind was especially noticeable at the Villa because the landscape is so open to the sea and Culver.

From my point of view it was good to be out and about on the bike, and to see so many friends again. Thanks to tail end Charlie Mich and Jan. Happy New Year Paul & Angie.

Richard and Karen who meet on a 4181 Club run some time ago got engaged over Christmas. We all wish them every happiness for their future together.
