Colin Blackburn commented on the post, Rural Crime 1 year, 10 months ago
This is a really worthwhile initiative. Those of us who live in rural areas know that the Police have an almost impossible job trying to do it without the help of the public.
As we (trail riders) are such a valuable potential asset in this area, it would be nice to think that there was a little Quid Quo Pro, such as not getting routinely pulled…[Read more]

Colin Blackburn commented on the post, General Meeting 8 April 2018 2 years, 10 months ago
Hi Richard, the GM vs AGM difference is covered in detail within the post.
The 8 Apr meeting will be a GM to deal with items that are judged to not be able to be deferred to the AGM, which will be held in Wales – date and place to be notified.
The proposed CoC is included at Appendix 3. It is basically the same CoC from the postponed AGM but…[Read more] -

You’d do better posting this on the Devon forum Justin.

I understand what you are saying John and I know a lot of discussion has been had on this topic in the past. I just find it difficult to accept the view that large groups do not draw more attention and antagonise the general public, who may not actually be against trail riding per se.
The fact that an authority does not legislate against large…[Read more]

I have a further difficulty regarding the proposed CoC.
The requirement is to Ride Quietly and Unobtrusively. However, it then goes on to say: ‘Consider limiting groups sizes where exceptional circumstances would result in a large group being obtrusive or would otherwise hinder or impede other users’ passage on, or enjoyment of, the road’.…[Read more]

I’m with you Andrew, I have enough difficulty deciding for myself exactly which rut or part of the lane is best to ride.
To try and legislate in advance where on the surface of a lane we ride and write it into the Code of Conduct is not practical or helpful.

Thanks for the link Colin, I think we are sorted now.
Great reply Colin and I’m glad you’ve got it sorted Justin
It’s a shame the TRF is as disjointed as this….having to sign up for different forums, Facebook pages just to get some assistance in planning a ride out of your area…it shouldn’t be like this…
It used not to be…we used to have a forum with different topic headings, and each group had its own sub-section within that.
But apparently that was ‘old fashioned’ and it’s best to have multiple channels and general disorganisation.
Hey ho….
What a wonderful idea ..a forum we could all participate in & find out what’s going on.. it’ll never catch on
Anyone would think that someone, somewhere didn’t want members to be able to communicate easily with each other on a single platform.
It’s called progress 🤔
