nae fannying about stopping every 15 miles...first stop is the cake stop..Simple

^^^^^^ This will be why I don't go on too many CC Ecosse rides!
For me, "fannying about" is all part of the enjoyment of the day. I know that one of the basic rules is "no-one gets left behind", but if some are slower than others it can be a PITA both for the faster riders having to stop and wait; and the slower ones (me!) busting a gut trying to keep up.

Maybe we need more "fannying about" rides, which could be stipulated as such by the organiser. Horses for courses and all that.

Hope you had a good day on Arran, I was down the coast road earlier on my motorbike and Arran was looking amazing from this side. Now in the Lake District for a "no fannying about" motorbike group ride tomorrow .
