If I do lead a ride, I'll start them in a different place so at worst it would be one or two lanes, I must stress, be wary about going around blind corners at speed, these lanes are frequented by walkers, dog owners, horse riders etc, especially at weekends, we will see them on the lanes so just keep the speed down if you can't see much ahead :)

I appreciate I'm trying to teach granny how to suck eggs but I said it anyway :)

Is there likely to be an "I'm not that keen on going much faster than jogging pace and need frequent cigarette and chat stops" green-laning ride?

Don't worry about it. I think they are quite a few of us who don't know anyone. I'm sure a few beers can solve that...
