To be honest the risk run on group rides is tiny.

The whole thing weighs in at about 20mb if anybody is sufficiently interested, but, yes, one of the Martlets riders did ask for the RA, so it was worth doing.
Some of you may have picked up on the thought that we might run a ride for soldiers returning from Afghanistan (not all of them at their best) in 2011, and there'll need to be a bit more formality associated with that, so I thought I'd practice....
