Overtaking good if you're both in deep ruts etc, everyman for himself when trying to scrabble up a steep climb and can't stop, or if done by a faster rider who obviously knows what he's doing and can pick a good safe time to do it

Overtaking bad (and will piss off home rather than put up with it) when a rider keeps moving to the back at the ends of lanes just so he can push past 2 min's later, when you ease off for water and some twat blasts past covering you in what you were trying to avoid (unless it's a little game both were playing) and my least favourite on fast open going where you expect to pick any line without getting skittled

If you want to overtake that much go racing in say - but be prepared for it to happen to you quite a bit!

Hit the nail on the head there Gar cheers

purposely going to the back just to burn past people is a piss take !!

I dont think ive experienced that one - maybe just not noticed it ...

theres always a line between a bit of banter and going too far

I think I was day dreaming Neil when ew blipped the throttle. Haha. No problem.

Don't like it much on a dusty forestry road when you have left a gap only for somebody to sqeeze pasa and fill your face with gravel mind...

On the going just shout something like "Move over you slow fat twat". Works every time when Jules comes past. Wink

I suppose it depends whether you are in attack or bimble mode. Everybody knows the bits where they like to give it the beans.

Hope to be out soon again now

Your all a good bunch of nutters...

I suppose im guilty of the odd overtake but do try to pass safely and I got no problem with being blitzed by a quicker rider and enjoy trying to keep up with them. The beauty of our rideouts is were of all different abilities and we all enjoy them enormously, I think if this 2 sec rule starts peeps may get bored and start doing rides on ability which will be a bit sad I recon . Anyway theres a few guys on ere that aint been riding that long but are very capable and pretty quick and I recon thats because they ride with a few more experienced peeps which brings them on no end
At the end of the day nobodys been hit off and the quicker riders usually end up doing more gates which makes the not so quick riders day a bit more enjoyable

Could not have put it better myself jules 10/10

. Stop moaning , get riding & get old discracefully smiler
