    Ride this Friday 23rd May, who's keen?

    Well Shingo and I are planning to go for a blat on Friday probably heading SH16 way and see what happens. Timewise we will be looking at about 10am or 11am kinda thing, not too fussed, and will be heading back to Uni in time for the chiller of course. Banzai has raised an interest in joining us so we thought we may aswell extend this ride too all who want to come.

    If you haven't been on a ride before, this is the kind that has no pressure whatsoever! Ride at your own pace and in your own time. If there are a few more L-platers it would be great, it's all about learning, and Banzai needs a crew! Also hope that some more experienced guys are keen to join us too, we are thinking of alternating between leading the learner paced riders while the rest can go on ahead. So everyone who wants to can have a blast up front, and also use their experience to ride a bit slower and show the others those brilliant lines you take.

    Completely relaxed atmosphere, most of the organisation happens on the day when we know exactly who will be with us etc.

    Just shout out in here or PM me if you're keen or have any questions.

    Once again - Ride is welcoming ALL riders, if you're just getting into it then it's all about time on the road and learning AT YOUR OWN PACE.

    Oh but a P.S. - Must be at least comfortable on the motorway at the right speed, if not comfortable at 100kph on the open road.

    Cool

    EDIT : Time has been moved more towards midday to allow some to make it! Leaving uni for Shell Westgate at 12:15 sounds good to me.

    Update : So far it's me, Shingo, Rie, Chrislost, Toto, Glice... Sorry if I've left anyone out? If you are coming on this ride or have changed your mind please post up your thoughts so we know exactly and don't leave people behind.

    For those who don't know : Meet at Uni 12:15pm in underground carpark, head to Westgate shell, leave Westgate at 1pm, ride around on our scooters heading up towards Wellsford, maybe stop for lunch, but we can just talk on the day and what happens happens! Pm me for my mobile number if you'd like.

    There is a big variety of skill level coming along, so don't be afraid to put your hand up and say you would love so much to come and will give me an icecream with a cherry on top, because there will be other riders at your skill level

    Awesome, yeah I'm sure 11:30 would be fine. Oh by the way, I'll be meeting people at Uni somewhere then we can head out and meet any others at Shell Westgate, where we can fuel up and then head off.

    The more the merrier
