OK Next Auckland KB ride - All sizes this time

**R6_kid:Me** · 14th June 2004, 19:30

hey guys,
good turn out for the "small" bikes even though the few of us on 250's and two smoke on the 150 were out numbered. Im thinking 27th of June (week before BBQ). Also might be a good idea, someone mentioned splitting into groups of different rider ability. Tell me if your interested (please dont hijack the thread, keep it easy for me ffs) and i'll post more info at a later date.
SO
WHOS KEEN?
Might aswell tell me bike size, and your experience (be honest now) just to help with organising.

I had a great ride on Sunday. At first I felt a bit guilty about gatecrashing a small bike ride but then I rationalized it by telling myself that my 400 is really a lot closer to a 250 than to a 600, and it still turned out to be one of the smaller bikes there! And despite what was originally planned, actual speeds also turned out to be a bit higher than perhaps some people might have been comfortable with. I still feel that there is a need for a "small bike ride" to cater more specifically for less experienced riders, and those who would like to admire the scenery for a change, but I don't want to exclude others, so I would support the suggestion of splitting into groups. Better still would be to plan a route that has the whole group riding together at moderate (i.e. legal) speeds for part of the way, then splitting into faster and slower sub-groups, perhaps with the faster group taking a longer road, then meeting up again e.g. for lunch at a predetermined time. I'm quite happy taking the 400 out with a slower group from time to time.

Ride sounds good, but whats this about a BBQ?. Been out of the loop for a couple of weeks.
Ability is average, would be good to meet some more KB'ers and get on the bike at the same time, after all, it is what we all have in common.
