Sign me up, I am a great fan of the Templetons, got me through my licences 4 years ago and got me back riding after a big accident.

Yeah come along superman, you'll get better real quick with advice from the mentors (and other senior riders like Caseye

) here.

Great first ride for the year, thanks Sis. Made even better when we got to O'Ryans - two of our group ordered hot chips and they gave us a third bowl on the house. Much appreciated by those of us who were hungry!!

See you all again.

It's a pity I couldn't make it tonight; I had to send my evil identical twin along instead.

Here's the pic that funrunna linked just before.

Thanks for the evening guys.

I had a great time! This was my first time out of the city streets and the ride out to Maraetai was sweet. It's amazing how much more confident I feel after just a couple of hours. And after playing around and getting a bit of a lean on in the car-park, I've managed to wear off another row of chicken strips. Very pleased.

I'm an absolute novice with less than 1000km under my belt, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Anyone wondering if it is all going to be a bit intimidating needn't worry. Everyone there was super cool.

I recommend SASS to anyone.

And let's not forget the free fries at O'Ryans.

Thanks Sis, aws and everyone else.
