Alrighty folks,

Back to normal this wednesday - 2nd May

Meet at westgate 6:30pm. Depart Westgate at 7pm, directed to the practice area (aka empty carpark)in Albany.

Going back to basics this week, with braking drills and figure 8's being the focus.

There will be more challanging activities available to those that already have these 100%.

[Kittyhawk]

Might be a bit late. So see ya in Albany.

[Disco Dan]

Cheers Kitty.

I will be starting a list of people that attend the AWNMR - so that I can PM you of announcements/events. If you do not wish to be on this list please let me know.

That depends, do you intend to continue to pm this list after it is too late to read these before we are attending next?

I shall now translate to a less sarcastic language.

Please note many employers are now actively blocking Kiwibiker due to the language and images contained within.
Should you wish to contact us Via PM please always allow 24 hours between sending and affected event.
I have recieved a few pm's from you regarding events that have already occured.

Can anyone just turn up or do you need to know numbers beforehand? I would like to come along but I usually don't know for sure if I'll be able to until that evening. I'm a real newbie and I reckon something like this would help me alot.

[Metalor]

Awesome! Might see you there if I don't have any other commitments.

[Disco Dan]

UPDATE:

Just a quick note to say we are going back to basics this week (today), however there will be some more complex activities for those that wish to.

See you all at Westgate folks!

[Macktheknife]

See you all in Albany, any skill level is welcome, activities are adjustable for all riders.

[Morcs]

Ill be heading straight up there afterwork hopefully for some roundabout practice.

Anyone know if the roads are wet up there now? in town there are. if thats the case i wont bother...

[Disco Dan]

Was another great night folks!

Some of you may not think im serious when I say "it goes ahead rain or shine" I got a couple of texts asking!

I think everyone learnt alot tonight, good to see some new faces and see some real improvemt made all round!

And again the stories at the bar where equally disturbing! Great laugh as usual!

Thanks again to Macktheknife, Big Dog, Kittyhawk and that guy (forget names sorry). Thanks to all that came along, and hope to see everyone next week!

[Morcs]

Did it rain harder? just on my way back into glen eden the heavens opened spectacularly.

[Metalor]

Sorry I wasn't there last night fellas, had to work late. Hopefully be able to make one in the next few weeks, keen to meet some fellow kiwi bikers!

Hiya folks, a quick update regarding tomorrows session:

We have been told we cannot use the practice area by the park n ride in Albany. However MTK has been on the phone and sorted out our very own private carpark! No risk of rogue cars, and fully lit!

Nice one!

See you all at westgate 6:30pm and we will head over to the new practice area! (it is close to the park n ride).
