(09) Any mid-week newbie riders out there?

**zeocen** · 12th December 2006, 09:22

I was just wondering if there's any newbie riders in Auckland that have the opportunity of midweek riding during the day, It's getting lonely riding to maraetai! :P

Check out the AWNR for mentors ride ..... thats for newbies....

Its under the Meeting and Events section.

There are also rides under the 250 section for learners riders.

go out on the Sth Akl Thursday Night Ride I'm sure Dover will Luv you long time.

Or PM GiJoe also Camp Mother (aka McJim) has the odd day off work too. Both of which are usually more than keen to ride.

Cool, thanks guys I'll get in touch with them or hopefully they'll see this thread.

I dont know when my next ride will be, I just mutilated my little finger by jamming it in the garage door. I swear if I didnt have my gloves on it would have chopped it clean off!

Gonna have to find a way to keep it safe while riding around, with painkillers

Im always keen with this good weather!!
(when circumstances permit, stuck in the car tonight due to training after work... grrrr lol)

I think my pinky finger is going to be a-ok! I know you were all concerned. Bike gloves do more than help in crashes, they protect little fingers from being completely crushed in garage doors too.

I'm probably gonna head out to kawakawa bay or maraetai tomorrow if it doesn't feel uncomfortable, hope to see a few bikes out and about, if you see a boy on a gpx wearing a red and black jacket, give me the finger so I know its a KB'er!

[few pics from todays morning/lunch ride - should really take a proper camera with me]

Maybe if crashe lets me out that far soon

Well, I'm happy to go anywhere! Even sitting in neutral stuck in traffic I find myself having fun, playing bongo drums on my gas tank.. I have free time right now and it feels wasted if I'm not on 2 wheels, riding/practicing/learning.
