Didn’t intend to open such a can of worms. I agree that there are many good reasons why the gatherings should be for members only. My intention was to give other newbies a heads-up in case they were not logging in. Still finding my way around here is all. Cheers

TB, ….

The reason why I usggest this is that I was once a looooong time back a moderator of a road bike forum in the Illawarra region and we used to have an ‘open’ forum. It wasn’t long before we started to get some very unwanted attention, both from police who were aware of a ride gathering and thus would turn up to ‘inspect’ the bikes or the roads on which we were to ride, or more of an issue was the mindless toolset that would turn up, behave like total wankers and ruin it for everyone.

Gaz

Cause the cops would never join a forum… :pinch:

I quietly decided the members were a cliquey group who liked to organise their gatherings in secret and then punish me with their tales of misfortune and adventure after their stealthy forays into the unknown.

I thought you didn’t know them?

So… if you’re new and looking to hook up for a ride with other Old Bull Members make sure you sign in to make the Ride Gatherings sub forum available.

Be careful in what you wish for… :dry:

You are not the first to join, or attend a ride :laugh:
Last I remember called himself “The Bill” and turned up to a Watagans ride with his mate to check us all out. Saw we were legit and only lasted half hour before going in search of other nutters.

Never saw or heard from him again either !!!! A bit like you JTB on that nav ride

Come on the next ride. A friendlier bunch of lunatics you would be hard pressed to meet.

It helps if you are a bit mad yourself though.

Eags,

Why do you treat me like this? I bet you’ve been hanging around that unit that wears the form fitting cycling jersey… he treats people like this too :ohmy:

Just one goat and you’re a goat farker eh? :whistle:

I’m in secret training, if you must know… big ride coming up, to a secret location, with a secret crew… but don’t tell anyone, just between you and me

No mate, I haven`t been near that bloke in quite a while !! The jersey scares me since it made a return…
It was just that I thought you have been a bit too quiet lately and I was fishing for a bite

Secret ride, secret crew and secret location you say ???
Tell me more,,,
I promise to keep it quiet :silly:

I’m quiet because it’s CRICKET season, not riding season. I’m not one of these lunatics that rides in the summer, mainly because it’s too hot. But secondly because I’m too busy.

ALL the secrets will be revealed in good time via the ride report which will be published exclusively on OBT in July, pending Women’s Day making a counter offer I can’t refuse… You’ll be happy to know that it goes for more than a day! …. I hope.

Can you let TB know that I thank him for the invitation to the first “Naked Adventure Ride” but it really isn’t my thing. Not that there’s anything wrong with blokes who enjoy naked adventure riding with their “mates”…
