London to Brighton night ride, March 6th

[StuAff]

Oh, and suffice to say I've just sent an email to Olaf. Serendipitously this is not only during my next week's leave, but I'll be in the smoke anyway (Underworld gig at the Apollo).

 

[slowmotion]

Yes please, if there is a place. Ditchling beckons.

Sorry, can't make it; will have just come back from somewhere and that weekend will be going away to help with mountain leader stuff. Delighted to see the ride take place - really chuffed to bits, for loads of reasons.

Genau getroffen - Bitte sehr !

They would if people have their own insurance, too. I think I remember that if one CTC member takes off another them there's no legal advice because they don't want to advise against themselves but I can't find that just now. I did find in the guidance PDF on http://www.ctc.org.uk/insurance/third-party-insurance that you're not covered if you crash into a relative or employee, which I didn't know.

I don't agree with CTC or BC and am insured through another organisation. I'm surprised if all other riders have joined BC or CTC.

that is simply untrue

Quite. And If he'd actually read the PDF properly, he's have seen
"6. Am I insured against a claim made by another CTC member? Answer: Yes
7. I’m a CTC member and go on CTC rides with my local Member Group and/or an affiliated club. If I knocked another CTC member off, where do I stand if s/he is injured or his/her bike is damaged?
Answer: You are covered up to £10 million. "

And if you'd actually read my earlier post, you'd notice I said "there's no legal advice" not that anyone is uninsured... and I also said I can't find the source of that - in other words, whoever claimed it may be confused. While searching like a daft thing, I did find plenty of other reports about limits of CTC's insurance, like not handling a claim of under £5000 and even a withdraw legal assistance clause, but not what situations that happens in.

Anyway, I've learned that FNRttC is different to other FNRs and has more rules so it's no longer interesting to me. As you were.

Not handling a claim of under £5000 is bullcrap - I speak from experience.

No longer interested? - fine. There are more then enough that are.

 

[kimble]

In principle yes, but after slowing down that particularly cold FNRttC back whenever it was, I decided that I shouldn't book trains for rides where asthmatically cold temperatures are more likely than not, lest I be tempted to go anyway.

There'll be another one later in the year, though, right? I've got a Brompton now, and it would be rude not to ride to ride to Brighton on it at least once...

 

[rb58]

Yes please Olaf. You have email.......

I've done a few Friday's ride...don't recall any RULES, if there are any then they must fall under the banner of good common sense and who wouldn't want to ride that way.

Perhaps we are talking about Del's safety briefing...always entertaining

I can recall three. DON'T UNDERTAKE, DON'T UNDERTAKE & DON'T UNDERTAKE.
Oh and don't drive home afterwards. Good advice having tried it once.

EDIT: Sorry TMN. I would say great minds think alike - except you would hit me again

 

[Liam 68]

I think I would like to be included (I am only ummming about the possible cold weather) & hoping to bring my son...
thanks for arranging...

 

[Tim Hall]

Hmm. Possible. <pencil in diary>
