All welcome, not going to be a fast flat out pace. Would like photo stops along the way. Breaks and Lunch as needed...

And as mentioned there is a track day on the same day. However if your not going to the track day like me, and want to ride, then come along.

Ahhhh, there's a trackday on the 5th http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=63108 - might be a bit of an ask getting an escapade together from Welly. An escapade up to the track day, however....

I would have been keen, but as Dave says the track is calling.

[Freakshow]

[DingoZ]

Never too early ... its one of the safest ways of learning as everyone is going the same direction ... track days are designed for all skill levels .. and there are rules ... people are split into classes .. the lowest being novice ... aka newbie or slower riders.

I have found its a great way to work on things like cournering ...

All great points that hadn't occurred to me. I won't make it to this track day but will look out for the next. Thanks for the advice.

Absolutely brilliant weather for it today. A little too warm to stop much and take photos, (not to self, get a pair of draggin jeans, have got to be cooler, than the cordura pants especially since those suckers are black.)

Cheers

Till next time
