learner/beginner ak 30/11,1/12,7&8/12 (Cancelled)

[T.I.E]

this week wednesday, thursday(30/11 1/12) and next wednesday and thursday (7 & 8/12 ) i have days off work, learners beginners, thought this would be a good time to head out for a slow ride around auckland. and for those wanting some small group rides with a learners slow pace. with some tips and pointers, but overall just to meet some people and take it easy.
PM me if ya interested. and ill give number out.

weather permitting of course.

[John Banks]

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? :angry:

[T.I.E]

cool what day suites.

[M1CRO]

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 :)

[John Banks]

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!

thursday is getting full but wednesday is looking good. but i'll won't be near a pc tonight or tomorrow, i'll be trying to hook up the pc tonight, but i am sure i won't be having much success.
john how tomorrow sound to you? and what ya upto?

[T.I.E]

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.
don't be shy. step up and lets cruise. i will not hassle or call anyone names.
i promise

drop me a text 021 233 6310.

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

:2thumbsup :2thumbsup :2thumbsup :2thumbsup

[John Banks]

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 :2thumbsup ). 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.

[Black]

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]

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 :2thumbsup Too bad I don't live Auckland or I'd be in :(

I've also got Wednesday and Thursday off (and all week), so I can be out there too. Yeah, the helmet and jacket are fitting great, thanks for all your help.

[Gremlin]

I think I'll be free from 11ish onwards on Wednesday next week... wouldn't mind tagging along... A slowish ride might be just the thing for newish tyres :yes:

[T.I.E]

cool, wednesday sounds good to me. i have a new rear hope to scrub it up before then. you guys are on.

[T.I.E]

for learner safety if the weather is crap unfortunately the run won't happen, don't wanna risk anyone out there.

[John Banks]

Right, tomorrow it's on - weather pending, of course. Checking the MetVuw there's a possibility of 1mm rainfall over 6 hours past midday, and less than 5 knots wind - bugger all rain and bugger all wind, so hopefully it will be good. If you can get in touch with me to confirm TIE, that would be good. Hopefully any learners who want to come along will be!

[T.I.E]

so those who are keen meeting in central ak museum again, then heading west again. old north road heading north and not sure how far we will get but probably come back down sh 16 hopefully.
any takers message me. txt 021 233 6310 so i know who is coming, and will probably leave 11am or just after.

this will be a slow ride taking it easy, and hoping to get some newbies out and about.

wooo hoo make sure ya all suited up for the run. i have side panniers and a tank bag if anyone needs to bring something i can put it in there. txt me first so i don't get too much stuff if ya need to bring it.

[Gremlin]

Can't make it... typically, heaps of errands to be done on the day off...

Hopefully the next one...

[Black]

Yep, cant make it either sorry ... got 'important work' that needs to be done and the boss won't let me take a few hours off ... bugger.

Hopefully next time.

[crashe]

T.I.E.- Txt me if the ride is still on...

Im off to the dr to give away some blood....
So I should be up for a ride after that.
Thats if I can get out of the drs in time.


Cloudy out west.... with a few dark black clouds...
