    Blah AWNMR - Auckland Wednesday Night Mentor Ride

    [CENTER]NEW THREAD LOCATED HERE[CENTER]


    What - Newbie training/confidence session
    When - Wednesdays
    Where - Meet at shell westgate then directed to a practice area nearby
    Why - A chance for new riders and learners to get practical advice on your riding and learn new skills from site mentors.
    Time - 6.30pm (Departing 7pm)



    Directed at new riders looking for confidence and training -
    all are welcome to attend and learn



    [CENTER]Start with a briefing from KB Mentor followed by a short practice session in the "training area" Then a slow paced ride to put your newly learned skills to work in the "real" world.
    This will NOT be a normal group ride its going to be 1 on 1 with your mentor to a maximum of 3 bikes in a group.

    A stop in the middle to ask questions and recieve feedback on your riding.

    Finishing at Miss Q's in Westgate for a drink/food and debriefing from mentor.

    ----------

    Next Meeting HERE



    Please ask if you would like an escort to the venue and I will organise something for you


    Just a note here folks
    We are a bunch of reasonably experienced riders who are happy to pass on our riding experience in an informal way
    It will NEVER replace training from Qualified instructors like the Ride Safe course or the 1 on 1 training people like TRICIA1000 are able to give you --- Frosty


    PLEASE FOLKS THIS IS NOT A GENERAL OPEN RIDE -IF YOU WANNA SHOW OFF YOUR MONO SKILLS DO IT ANOTHER NIGHT

    What! Is it compulsory that all midweek Auckland runs are anagrams!!

    Sounds like a great idea though - I'll be along for a couple.

    Damnit! Wish my bike was up and running. Would've loved to have come along on this... need all the riding tips I can get.

    And I'm going to miss the next month's ride as well, will be overseas! Fark.

    Have fun guys, hope you all learn a lot, and thanks to the mentors for helping us n00bs out.
