Not being anal buddy,
I'll lead as I know the route,
The route itself is actually pretty simple, for instance- as soon as we're on the A422 its that one road all the way to stratford, when we get on the A44 its that road all the way to the B4030,
from the start as soon as we get onto the the few places I've set as a stop and smoke/drink point I'll probably mention the next leg of the journey.
Before we leave I'll ask the lot of you who wants to be a back marker, any junction where we turn off (which is very few) we shall all stop and wait until the back marker turns up, any roundabout should be classed as straight on, if its not then again we shall stop until the back marker shows up.
At the smoke/drink points if the back marker wants to swap with someone else then they can do.
This is a fun rideout made up of riders of different abilities, obviously everyone wants to enjoy themselves so there is no pressure on slower riders keeping up with faster ones and the route itself allows the faster riders to. Bugger off and enjoy it at a quick pace.
For roundabouts, how about having a fast rider as 2nd man drop off? It means the main bodies both know where they're going, and keeps things flowing! Riders could even swap places between fag breaks. Or is that what you're talking about? :lol

I was going to discuss that in Stratford as by the time we get there we will know everyone's speeds, funnily enough that's the role I normally take in the tipple run, also known as 'sweeper' but still requires an allocated back man.
Are you applying for the position already ChristoT?
Some say...
