250 Coro loop

[Jonno.]

Awesome...

[del-solider]

Saweet im there! now please oh please can we have awesome weather

[Ragingrob]

Could be keen to pop along if the weather is sweet. A bunch of 250s huh? Including people who haven't done the coro before?

If I do make it, I'll put my hand up to be TEC and just cruise.

[Squiggles]

Why does everyone have to be TEC to just cruise? An observation...

[cheesemethod]

Sweet sounds like plenty are interested. Really hoping for some good weather. Just to reiterate - this is a coro loop CRUISE, not a race, for those of us looking for a quiet day out that doesn't end in the back of a police car or an ambulance.

Also, excuse the ignorance, but what's a TEC?

I'm loving the tag "be safe people" , seriously if you ride even 1% like a dick it wont be tolerated! I (and I suspect that I speak on behalf of most people here) DO NOT WANT ANY ACCIDENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please don't ride like chaos rider (among others), especially with other 250 riders on the loop.

I'll be in the front group if people want a safe pace setter, (another couple of sensible people to ride with me would be appreciated)

One doesn't... But if ya wanna just cruise and not have to worry about anyone behind you, TEC is the place to be

Depends on how you define "cruise", many people would cruise at what others would think is going fast. Whereas others would truly just be pootling along taking in the scenery.

How about something like this:

RULES OF THIS RIDE

Ok, due to the apparent large volume of riders turning
up to this event, to keep things safer, I am instituting
some rules.

Those who know me realise I am quite flexible and don't
like over organisation on group rides but because of the
amount of people coming and the fact that it would be
nice to complete a Coro ride of this size without a
bin the following rules will need to apply.

Most of these are common sense for large group rides.

1. I will not be riding the majority of the time at
my normal pace for safety reasons as I have not ridden
with a few of the riders turning up. You can maintain
a fast pace in small groups with riders you know well but
this ride will need to be toned down a bit.

2. Try and keep the top speed limit down to
save your licence and to prevent this turning into
a race to get the last scallop burger at the Coroglen.

3. No overtaking on blind corners. In regard to this
ensure you keep in your lane when you can also see
through corners as these will be the sections of road
other riders will be passing you on if you are slower
than them in the twisties. This means keeping the right
lane free at all times except if you are overtaking.
Absolutely no undertaking at anytime.

4. When overtaking, make sure no one is already doing
so, or else you will end up with an unwanted pillion.
Always indicate your intentions at all times.

4. Leave a good following distance, because if a rider
in front has to brake hard, with lots of riders you get
a concertina effect which means a large pile of bikes
and riders to untangle and you will definitely miss out
on your burger.

5. If you find it necessary to point your front wheel
at the sun or your rear wheel at the moon, just make sure
you have plenty of room and you won't take out other riders
if things go pear shaped.

6. Don't blast past every one on the straights and then
end up holding up more experienced riders in the tight
stuff. If you see you are holding people up, shake your
right leg, move to the left and slow down a little
so they can pass safely and ride to their own abilities.

7. Finally, all riders are not to exceed their own comfort
level and must ride to their own abilities. Do not let
the red mist come down and the tetesterone take over
and think you can keep up with the more experienced riders
if you are not experienced yourself.

How do you know you are riding beyond your abilities:
a) Your breathing gets rapid.
b) You visor fogs up easily, especially in the tight
stuff.
c) Your heart rate increases.
d) You feel uncomfortable.
e) You know you are going quicker than you should and
you know you are pushing it more than usual.
f) Your lines go to pieces and things get out of
shape under braking.
g) You have a nice view of the sky through native
foliage and you hurt lots.

Is it majority 100k speedlimit? i think everyone will be alright just don't out ride yourself and stop when ya need to for a break. Finally a good chance to test the new boots and one piece.

Take it easy and she'll be right, basically no racing

easier said than done! Haha I reckon the briefing should consist of graphic crash pictures...


I'm just worried that it will end up like previous coro loops, I will do everything I can to prevent it though, even if that means I gotta pull someone aside


or even if someone has to pull me aside as well, its better than crashing...

Finally a good chance to test the new boots and one piece.

Haha lets hope there isn't a chance to test them!


well maybe it's ok to test their comfyness ON the bike not OFF

[Jonno.]

Ride safe .

[cheesemethod]

Sweet cool to see people offering to lead and be TEC. Meet at Bombay servo, or the truck stop place before the Drury turnoff?

[TOTO]

Those of you new to the coro loop, you better have a look and memorise those before you get there....respect the loop !

p.s. yes, those are just a few from the coro loop...
