AWNMR - Auckland Wednesday Night Mentor Ride

[Disco Dan]

I am sure I will attend, it is not just the newbies that learn new things.

The greatest gift you can give you loved ones is yourself, not so much of you to give if you exit the dance before the music stops.

If there are no objections, I would like any non mentors who also choose to attend to bring a piece of paper.
On this piece of paper put the skill you feel you are most lacking.
We will draw these ideas from a helmet and see what people have identified.
Fold it up, I want this to be annonymous, people give better ideas this way.
We will draw ideas from a helmet until we run to 9pm or out of ideas.


PS, no disrespect to the other mentors who have a life and choose to live it, I don't have one and look forward to any reason to go for a ride....

Thanks Big Dog, good idea!

[Busy]

I hope to come along, everyday is a learning day ...

Am allowed out as I'm going out during the day to buy the misses a rose bush for V day, and she knows if it dies she wont get any roses from me in years to come as thats my future source *gee I'm a romantic sucker *

After watching on Wed...more practise needed on weaving in and out cones. Was wondering if this exercise could be repeated this upcoming week.

I find it easier when I relax to do this exercise. Hips, shoulders, arms. Feel the bike swing as one with you. It's seriously a feel thing. Once this skill has been mastered, riding improves and when you approach twisties, the confidence levels are alot higher.

This is an exercise I love to do. It's because you can apply it to alot of situations.

Just be one with the bike!!!

I also practise riding between the white lines if there is a passing lane on your side of the road. (just make sure theres no other cars around though)
