I would definately be up for it, unless of course I have to go for a job interview that day. But how likely is that?

**T.I.E** · 29th November 2005, 06:56

cool what day suites.

**M1CRO:Me** · 29th November 2005, 07:30

Was gonna cruise on Thursday for a few hours (maybe start around 10am) and sort out a few things for the Sunday ride

So if you dont get many takers, maybe the thou and the "bigger" thou could tiki-tour around

Chuck it in Meetings and Events. It'd be nice trying to get some more newbies along for a ride, they're just hard to coerce out of their shells!

and newbies/learners, i have this wednesday and next wednesday and thursday off, so please drop me a line, lets go for a run. slow pace is all good, looking at taking a few for a slow cruise about the area, north west east south, and just a chance to meet newbies and hopefully help with confidence on open roads.

i promise

Wow what a great ride to today.... I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Nice to meet "John Banks" today....
I hope T.I.E. and I didnt overload your head today with too much information.

I heard that you got a replacement helmet and jacket today as well

Thats good to hear.... as you do need to have a proper fitting helmet.

Hey crashe, it was great meeting you and T.I.E today. I had a really good time and came away with some valuable advice (Not to mention new gear

). So, all the newbies on this site had better poke their heads out for one of these rides, I guarantee you won't regret it. I've only been riding two weeks and it was still comfortably paced.

I'm pretty keen for some tuition, unfortunately I can't get away this week ... would be keen for next week though.

Are the rides in the afternoon or during the day?

**Cronan** · 1st December 2005, 11:25

Anyone having anything like this down in New Plymouth? Im keen as to go cruising and get to know the other KB's! I think what T.I.E's doing is a great thing for all us newbie/learner drivers out there

Too bad I don't live Auckland or I'd be in

OUCH a new rear tyre... Just been there and had to replace mine recently.
I was lucky and managed to get 34,000km out my rear tyre.

T.I.E. - If want I am free again next week to lead the pack
