Saturday is better, but either can work for me.

It is nice to have the Sunday to recover too!

Either or both!

Saturday is good cos it gives time to re-cooperate and wash the bike.

Sunday is good cos it gives me an excuse to miss Church!

Both.

If it was one or the other I would go for Sunday, too many things to catch up with on Saturday - including getting the bike ready to go.

Mat, you should prep your bike way before you go for a ride !!

Saturday is and has been better for me:
1. Stops me working on Saturday.
2. Stops me working on Sunday.
3. Because i'm getting old, i can recover on Sunday.
4. I can Spend quality time on Sunday with my family playing Scrabble.
5. I can get my Van sorted for the week ahead.
5. I can sleep in after a hard ride, not haul my ass outta bed on Monday feeling like a Bus hit me.
6.I can have Bacon & Eggs for sunday brunch.
7. If i ride Saturday i don't care if i get home late Saturday Night.
8. I can Lay on the Couch With a Blakie and a hot Chocolate, and let the day pass without a worry in the world !!!
9. Sunday " NOT WASH MY BIKE"
10. Bla Bla Bla

Saturday is ok but Sunday is easier to commit to.

whichever day the Mrs and kids have something on as well suits me - so either. I personaly would prefer Saturday for all the reasons Pete said but I get little say in it and if no ride was the other option I'm riding whichever day I can.

Saturday works best for me.

Leaves plenty time on Sunday to clean up and get ready for the next ride.

Cheers

I've had to pull out of a couple of rides recently, due to sport committments on saturdays, so sundays would be a better option for me. But as the old saying goes " you cant please everyone". I'll just have to start and get my priorities right! #1 AMTRA rides,#2 sport,#3 spending time with the missus!

Sorry to see you are not on any of my forthcoming rides hope you can make one?

OK Dr.Brad, what are your plans with this important data ?


Title: Re: Ride days which one is most suitable Saturday or Sunday
Post by: Brad on October 04, 2011, 08,01:05 AM
Overall want the ride days to reflect the members ride profile as much as possible.
Meaning I will run most rides on the more popular day which turns out to be Saturday. Run some rides on  Sunday's to cater for members who can't make Saturday's.

That's about it.

See you Saturday Marc and once again thanks for popping into the Longwarry BP to escort fellow riders to the start of the ride. P.S your car park will be waiting.
