What is Ride Right Ride Safe?

**Deviant Esq** · 25th January 2007, 11:26

Yeah, I guess it does make sense. Especially factoring in laziness or just plain "got better things to do" / "takes too much effort..." type of thinking.

I'd love to make it happen... but I'm just a newbie rider, and I really don't know that many bikers in Christchurch when it comes down to it. I'd like to get out a bit more and meet up with others, but I haven't been able to mainly just because I've always had to work weekends. Here's hoping I won't be working them when I get back! I've got appointments to keep already!

The other thing is it's all very well knowing the guys who've got a bit of experience, but they've got to be willing, too. I'd offer to help if I were in a position to, but although I've been told I ride well, I just don't have the experience. I can't imagine trying to teach anyone anything when I don't know it myself!!

Maybe I'll have to make the trip down to Dunedin to have a go at it, especially if the bikers are that awesome. I'll just make sure I drag someone else from Christchurch down with me!

Cheers guys.

They are on the third Sunday of each month, except December and February. So the next one is the 18th of march.

Yes, need you own beer - once in, you can't go out and return.
Yes - we provide some unique obstacles.
Cool - should get your booking in early if Jan was anything to go by.

I am 99% sure it is and half price the third time. Not sure what happens the fourth time though.

Yes we do get people back twice quite frequently and some thrice.

When last I spoke with the man this class wasn't too full, so you should be ok to rock up on the day.
We very rarely cancel, only if we get both high wind and heavy rain.
You will actually get more out of it if it is raining.

Bump!!

Course is on this Sunday the 15th

**Winter** · 12th April 2007, 14:15

I would love to attend, but I would have to leave at 2pm so I can get to work on time..
Would it be worth going for the morning and leaving early?

Yep.
It's free to return a second time, so you could either attend again on another date which you have free or perhaps do the rest of it later.
Personally I feel that the more important stuff is covered off first anyway.
