Sheez MotorB. I just watched that video you took of you me and Raj doing the Coro loop 3 or 4 months ago whilst listening to the new Nine Inch Nails album (you can download it for free BTW), am so amped up now for the loop! Are you going to bring your video camera again?

Have you got a link to your camera, what do they cost?

The weather is supposed to be shit this weekend, but I think I will do the loop anyway - I desperately need some decent ride time.

Is non-openroad experience for 1300km good enough??

Not really... At least get some open road riding done by yourself or with a couple of mates before the group stuff. Group riding requires a fair bit of concentration and a learner can be easily distracted, not to mention trying to follow other people's lines and speeds into corners which can lead to disaster.

Go for a pootle up SH16 or even just out Riverhead way by yourself or with a couple of guys just to get some more experience on 100kph road which is very different to riding around town or on the motorway.

[Squiggles]

I only say so because its always good to get some experience riding your own ride, not concentrating on everyone elses (as your post on the rrrs thread suggests you were doing)

I'm going for a blast on saturday and tomorrow i'll be doing the henderson gp on the way to andrews. If you want you can come with me on saturday, I'm thinking sh16 to woodcocks and then to wellsford, nice and easy. I ride pretty slow bud, advice if you do come. Don't follow my lines, don't look at me when going through a corner. Brake early, slow in fast out. I'm not gonna leave you behind haha so don't rush or hurry. Think a couple corners ahead and you'll be right. In fact i think it will do us some good getting some solo hours under oue belts, especially me. I just need to ride
