How fast do you need to be to come along?

Sarah (my other half) is now riding a 600 and wants to come, but she is very inexperienced. We have been out for 2 x 100 mile runs now, and she is getting better. Maybe she will have much more confidence by the time this comes around, but maybe not. Right now on the narrow twisties, she is very slow and cautious. I think she would end up holding the ride up. I suppose it's hard to judge 'how fast' someone is without seeing them ride, but I suppose im wondering if there will be people coming along who prefer to take a steady pace and catch up to the group, or people who are also young and inexperienced so that she wouldn't be the only one.

If she is going to be a drag on the ride, ill tell her to come on the back of mine.

I don't think it matters how slow or fast you are, all should be welcome.
I am certainly no Rossi, and are cautious on roads I don't know, so she won't be the only one at the back.

Think I may not be able to make this.. No idaea yet. Depends on when i get paid by work/dad with the money I'm owed. If I can I will probably have to come down friday evening/saturday morning as it would be a bit much asking for a day off within 4 weeks of starting :lol:

Stick my name down, looks like a long boring ride up the motorway, but hopefully the rideout will be worth the effort.
I'll bring a little tent, so will be self sufficient.


Coming up with Bazza on the Friday, booked the day off work, anyone else want to tag along from Kent/and all points southeast?


Or a meetup on the way, Warwick etc.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

really sorry guys - going to have to bail now. I've got the chance to be with the kids and we were going away Monday, day after I got back. Just found out that I've got the kids for the weekend as well as the ex is going away. Sorry again, it's doing my wombles head in - when it suits her the weekends with kids are either flexible or not. I take any chance I can get to be with them at the moment so will get the extra time with them which I will value. sorry again, have fun :thumbup:
