Marie Vesco memorial ride & horrible NCR's

[anothereye]

Just a summary of our ride, the Flickr link gives an overview of what will be in the audit when published. There is much more to that and I will be re-visiting the route soon in order to be more thorough (if you'd like to join me, send me a private message).

Purpose:
To remember Marie.
To model best practice (sharing the road).
To audit the two NCR's (National Cycle Route). From this we celebrate the improvements that have been made and comment on improvements that are needed. We will be sending a copy of our findings to the Highways Agency.

I've posted a storyboard on Flickr:
