I seems to me that there were a lot of riders that weren't very "distinguished" this year ! All leather of sorts. Not distinguished at all!! That's a pitty, because, to me, this is the hart and charme of this event. But as a fundraiser one shouldn't care? I dare to differ.
I understand your point but I guess it's impossible to enforce a "dress code" and to me anyone who gets off their arse and raises money for a good cause is by default "distinguished". A bigger issue is many riders coming for a "jolly day out " but raise nothing or virtually nothing or travel from other areas as this location is seen as more appealing. It's an organisational nightmare and I'm amazed the organisers and volunteers pull it off each year , my bowler hat is tipped to them .
What on earth are you talking about ! Considering there were over 700 bikes it all went very smoothly. 400 last year but many riders came to Guildford from other areas this year .....Pollution ? If worried about that then sell your bike I guess or buy an electric one ( joke 🤣).
I can’t deny there is some pollution. That is inevitable in an event of this type. But I assume you walk to work or the shops and don’t go on holiday. Otherwise that would be hypocritical… But. Chaos? I’m the organiser of the Guildford DGR and I genuinely don’t recognise the chaos you claim. Were you there? Although e had over 700 bikes there the traffic flowed in (and out!) of the High Street with minimal delay. Loseley House couldn’t have gone better and even with the quite limited space at the brewery nobody had to wait more than a couple of minutes to get in. I cannot complement all the volunteers enough for how the day flowed so smoothly!
@@nigelgower5757Hi Nigel , well said ! You and your team were brilliant. A huge logistical task completed very professionally and yet still managing to keep fun element and over £50k raised - superb.
