ahhh my young padwin learner... riding around town is not really riding... "They" call this commuting, the bike must lean and rev over 2000rpm to be riden.

I sence much fear in you...

oh is that all... no one will run you down if your slow (as long as you ride at a pace fast and safe enough for you) the guys will wait at points along the ride, so, you'll catch up.

Do you have any experience?

**2much** · 20th January 2006, 22:06

Exactly as Wayne said, we all started somewhere. As long as you ride your own ride at at pace you're comfortable with there won't be a problem. I have no problem sitting at a pub having a few beers waiting for you to catch up (just don't take tooooo long otherwise I'll be in no condition to ride!).

Let me know when you want to come for a ride and I'll drag the missus along on the 250, she's at the same stage so you can ride together (saves me babysitting

)
