Bank Holiday Rides Need Patience

Bank holiday rides sound perfect until everyone else in the country has the same idea. Traffic builds, car parks fill, cafes get stretched, and the best roads collect people who are not looking for bikes.

That does not mean staying home. It means planning with patience. Start earlier, choose quieter alternatives, expect delays, and keep the group calm when the pace drops. A bank holiday ride is not the day to force overtakes because you are annoyed at a caravan.

The ride can still be good if you let it be what it is. Sometimes the win is a decent loop, a good stop, and getting home relaxed.
