March 20, 2009 at 10:45 am #125987I reckon my system is the best. I ride first, second and last performing the lead, fun and sweep duties. Or maybe it’s because I am an unsociable, ugly, smelly, opinionated, arrogant, son-of-a-bitch, little fat bastard who nobody likes. :laugh: Mind you, it doesn mean that when I get lost I can only blame myself and when things go right it is me again, but the best part is that the shouts in the pub afterwards are generally cheap.

I actually like getting a turn on a corner and watching everyone go by,especially in big groups.
 The other nod and go system, I am not so keen on ,as I have experienced first hand, when it breaks down and been lost to the wilderness for over an hour at Coffs Harbour. The fella in front of me presumed I was still behind him and followed the pack down a left turn and ol Mick just went straight ahead,it wasn’t till I noticed no knobbie marks on the road,that I realised I was seperated from the pack.
 Once I realised I was lost, I slowly back tracked,staying as far to the left as possible, to the last place I knew the group had seen me and sat and waited. Which is a policy I also think we should adopt should you realise you are lost to the pack..Mick, that is a rather good point to raise. No matter if your riding or Bushwalking, If you find yourself Lost from a group, backtrack to last “Known” place of Gathering, Then plant your Butt. If you cant backtrack, sit down and wait, dont make things worse by getting yourself MORE lost. 
 On the system that was tossed up here, GOOD IDEA. On the Amamoor ride, i found myself more than once, wondering which way i was meant to be riding. Guess i was playing the ” Way back” position..sorta like a fullback, only further back.
