No Title

Dedicated to the memory of our Mentor, Uncle B.

This week I am very pleased to read all the entries and would like to make special mention about the senior experienced riders contributions.

Thank you to our selectors this week carbacca and Stella, their selections made for interesting reading and again the RRRS course in Auckland is raised. Also the question raised by discotex about what tools etc to carry….I have tacked on the replies listing items that have been suggested.

I think the selections speak for themselves this week. Good write-ups and insight to how we as individuals approach our riding.

Thanks to carbacca and cynos for participating this week and your selections.

Chanceyy you are in the chair again for another week, with your riding and doing the selections you are certainly getting plenty of time for review and insight.

And Zukin thanks for the ...

There were some interesting posts this week by riders and I crossed posted some to the General forum particularly when riders were asking for some general assistance, and also in the case of a new rider who requested mentor / senior rider assistance. [Rider assistance was acknowledged immediately. Thanks Crashe very much.]

Daza must say it was good to read your post this week too and that you got out on a ride with Bnonn. ...

Dedicated to the memory of our Mentor, Uncle B.
