You're very welcome to join us as far as I'm concerned. We'll be meeting at the Whatawhata Road Dinsdale Caltex at 12.30 before riding out to Leamington to meet at the school at 1 pm.
Okay, a bit of an update. I am meeting TerminalAddict and TerryGurl in Whatawhata at 1 pm, by the pub. I'm going to head over there after filling up at the Dinsdale (Whatawhata Rd) Caltex, at 12.30. Then we're going to Leamington. I had thought we were meeting at Leamington at 1, so sorry if we're late.
You can contact me on +6421341370 if everything goes pear-shaped and we all miss each other (:
So what time do you think you guys will get to the meeting place at Leamington then? Heres my num if there is a hold up, just txt 0212679193
Who else is still coming?
Its heavy overcast here at the moment, but it was like that yesterday morning and cleared up enough to get some sunshine in the afternoon. Hopefully it will do the same again today.

I guess 20 minutes after we meet at Whatawhata, so 1.20 maybe? Not sure exactly how long it takes...
Was a good day out. Shaneh in particular made huge progress and looks a lot smoother and more confident than he was at the start of the day.
A Car park is where I spent over an hour with shaneh. The thing about car park riding is that you can teach technique in isolation. After the person has seen how the different techniques work and how they feel, you can then take them out on the road and apply them. Usually people don't need that much time in a carpark though. An hour is plenty. But I reckon it's something that everyone should do.

Thanks to everyone who came for a great afternoon; particularly the mentors, and particularly Paul who followed me around and gave me some great advice and pointers to work on. I'm going to bed (:
Yeah thanks again for everyone turning up and good words of advise from the mentors and tips i gained. I shall be working on my lines and then my cornering speed after that. Look forward to it again, when ive put into practice what ive learned. Yesterday was the longest ride i have had on the bike. All good experience. Cheers.
