Hello the two Robs

Thank you both for a very very enjoyable day out there at Manfeild yesterday.

Being my first time on the track was awesome, and provided another perspective of my riding technique and also the capacity of the bike. Technique: through the day I was able to focus on turn approaches, braking and counter steering –

Three riders contacted me and the practise ride provided some good challenges in slow bike control.

On completion of the set circuit, I took the group across to Holborne Drive and introduced them to the flowing curves up and over the ridge, and this provided a good opportunity for them to consider returning for further practise with a focus on counter steering.

Thanks for the feedback at the conclusion of the circuit. I will cut some of the streets out and reduce the ...

I am volunteering my time to accompany any new riders , or any riders in general that may want to spend an hour practise riding completing a left turning circuit of Stokes Valley.

From the top end it is a return to the valley entrance, rounding the round-a-bout re-entering the valley ...

Chris, Simon, Anton, and I left Duckpond and followed route across to coast then back up the inlet, when phone went off with text from HSVBoy - Simon, he was on his way from home to bottom of Paekakariki Hill - PH at SH1 to wait. We carried on from Pauatahanui village up to top of PH, few quick photos then on our way down the other side.

Simon and William were waiting at the BP for us. So off we went down to towards Paremata turned onto Grays Road along inlet and straight back up ...

The enthusiasm through winter to contribute to the Where Did You Ride and What Did You Practise thread dropped off.
