Re: Post a picture from your latest ride
Last Sunday on a group ride over the northern range. It was warm up ride for this Sunday where we’ll go over the northern range down to the coast and ride part of the coast road which is all short sharp hills.

Different wheels for my ride today. My first official blood bike shift - in biblical rain and wind down the M6 and in and around the various hospitals of Birmingham...
My learnings from today:
1. All the NHS staff I had contact with were extremely friendly and helpful - making the process very rewarding.
2. The FJR1300 is a great bike for filtering through miles and miles of motorway tailbacks.
3. My gloves leak.

Strewth, scooter, that was close!
Cheers. I know you're also a blood biker. Today was a baptism of fire. One of the hospitals was bang in the city centre and proved too much for the satnav. It was an interesting journey...

Know the feeling...
We have some really obscure locations in and around the South West countryside.
Plus, the SatNav gets you to the Hospital but then trying to find the right department can be fun
To try and aid the riders, we're in the process of introducing the What3Words app.

Re: Post a picture from your latest ride
Although some of the bikes are equipped with blues and twos, the group I ride for has a "no lights" policy, due to the additional (onerous) training, certification and liability issues. We are required to obey all speed limits and have no special dispensations. Having a liveried bike does cause some "interesting" behaviour in other road users though.

I see. I was going to ask you what the training was like as I’d imagine that it would be rather tough.downer wrote: ↑Thu Nov 14, 2019 9:57 pmAlthough some of the bikes are equipped with blues and twos, the group I ride for has a "no lights" policy, due to the additional (onerous) training, certification and liability issues.

Thanks. It seems a good way of doing something positive - at the same time as enjoying my hobby.

Re: Post a picture from your latest ride
I guess it varies from group to group. In my case, the requirement is for an advanced (IAM/ROSPA) qualification. There is a further check ride (which was basically another advanced test) followed by a few induction events and material handling course etc.Thermexman wrote: ↑Thu Nov 14, 2019 10:11 pmI see.
