Ow Dooo!

This month's Tuesday evening Ride-Out will be led by Mr Mark Whittaker and will be around the Cheshire area.

As usual for a Tuesday, the Ride-Out will leave the car park at the rear of the Workies at 7pm, Club Ride-Out rules apply, and all are welcome.

Due to a setback, the Ride-Out Registration number issue still hasn't been resolved, so if you intend to attend the Ride-Out please post a reply to this thread, or at least turn up in good time.

For those not familiar with it, here is an explanation of how the Junction Marking System works;

Before the ride begins the Ride-Out Leader seeks a volunteer to stay at the back of the pack, commonly referred to as “Tail -End Charlie”! Everyone should make themselves familiar with Tail-End Charlie and note what bike they are riding.

As the Ride-Out Leader negotiates a junction or exits a roundabout they point to indicate that the junction/exit requires marking. The person directly behind them stops IN A SAFE, VISIBLE POSITION, AT THEIR OWN DISCRETION, to indicate to the rest of the group which direction/exit to take. 

AT NO POINT DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE TO STOP!

As Tail-End Charlie approaches the junction he acknowledges the junction marker, who can then set off and rejoin the main pack, allowing Tail-End Charlie to resume last position.

At the next awkward junction, the process is repeated all over again.

Even if the Ride-Out Leader hasn’t indicated that a junction needs marking and you deem it to be an awkward junction, whether you are second in line or not, there is nothing to stop you marking that junction, as long as you are aware who Tail End Charlie is.

Enjoy your ride.
