Thanks for all the great ideas. It hadn't occurred to me that there would have to be a "ride rule talk on riding safely" - thanks. Unfortunately the LBS is in the process of closing down - we'll only be left with K-Mart when it does.:eek

I really like the idea of ending a ride with a coffee or tea break. We have a local produce market held on a Sunday morning once a month and there just happens to be a great cafe/bakery just across the road too. Something for everybody! It might only take an eye-catching advert placed in the bakery window to get the ball rolling.

Out of action for the moment due to 2 fractured vertebrae - probably perfect time to do the setting up.

Thanks to all who responded to my thread.
