    Talking about ride outs. There may be as many as 24 bikes, possibly more if more forum members sign up to come along.

    So thinking of safety are you guys familiar with the "Second Bike Drop Off" system of group riding?

    As long a few of us know how it works, it will be obvious to the others. It's a good method for keeping larger groups of riders together and safe. I've used it lots, possibly hundreds of times.

    is that where the second rider waits if the leader turns off and then goes to the back of the line. If so then I'm familiar with it.

    This is where the majority of us are staying, camping or bunks http://www.peakpub.co.uk/camping/
    Others are staying nearby but if you go for above just mention triumphs when booking. Arrive on Tuesday 9th August leaving on the Friday morning or to suit if some can't do the whole stint.

    Currently 24 forum members booked up. Just copy the list below and add your name if your coming.
