We plotted a series of likely quiet places with benches - Danbury/North Hill, Abberton etc and joined them up. It turned out to be a windy day and not many came out! The concept is sound, though I think for a more sociable event they could be more closely spaced in the heartland of MEMWNS Territory. Needs some more thought ... doesn't really need seating, if just a chat and off again - riding clock/anti- clockwise and there's bound to be plenty of accidental meetings.
There was a lot of that 'accidental' meeting going on last time - families, dog-walkers etc, noticed when riding around the lanes.
