North Auckland Street Skills - NASS

"Left"? Where did you leave to?

And the thread at the start says that the meeting is at 7:30 at Albany?

Oh I see. The session is split into two. The first is a ride departing at 7pm at the end of the North Western, which is then meant to meet at 7:30 at Albany. The ride was extra long last night, and I guess everyone was late arriving.

I don't know what time I got ot the car park, but no one was there when I arrived.

I waited there until anout 8:20, and then buggered off.
Thought that maybe I had teh wrong time/place.

That's not good. I think w'ell need to make a point of keeping the ride on time to stop this happening again.

Was a great ride i think we got to Albany about 8.30? It was my first ride with you guys. Oh and thanks to the guys that helped me through the road works..... had a small panic attack! But you guys are really helpful thanks was awesome!

[hctseng]

WTF? ?where WAS everybody?

I waited there for ages with another rider - Mike - and nobody pitched?

What's with the attitude? There is no need to talk like this right? Sorry we were a bit late because the group had decided to take a longer ride......

You don't need to apologise. As I see it the evening starts with the run then there is training in the carpark. The trainers are experienced and professional bikers who give up their own time for free, week in week out sunshine or rain throughout the year. If you can't make it to the start of the run then you've just got to wait.

"I turned up and got nothing for nothing" BooHoo!!! Wind your neck in and rephrase your comments to something along the lines of "really missed you guys hope to catch up with you next week"

Trainers and mentors you rock!

Actually I wrote it thinking that no ride had happened at all. And would have been justified in being pissed off for being dicked around.

And I am justified with my "attiutude" as well. "As you see it" is not how I see it. It is a course, with set times, That people pitch up for AT BOTH PLACES on time for.

Yes the mentors are giving their time for free and we appreciate it, but its common curtesy to do what you say you are going to do. Since others are also taking time out of their busy schedules and away from their families to attend. And if fuck all is going to happen, then I would rather spend it riding around than waiting in a fucking carpark for an hour, wondering if anything is on at all.

Cock.

And I have no problem with anybody taking all the time they want on a longer ride- just make it clear ahead of time so I dont have to waste hard earned brownie points on the missus so that I can sit around scratching my ass in the car park, or so I can also join you at the start.

Fuckkit...do I sound like a chick?

Do you know whats wrong with this scenario?

Well... if you dont know, then I am not going to tell you!!

As we (mentors) don't know who is going to turn up ,if there are mostly expeienced riders and it is a great night a longer ride is very much on the cards. Let those who ride decide!!! Regids Richard PS It is only 10km to Westgate

Again, it is not as if I dont appreciate what you guys do. And I will ride to Westate from now on, now that I know how it is. But that is not what your events reminder says. Rather change it to say "We ride from Westgate at 6:30, and get to Albany when we get there, depending on the groups mood." At least then anybody else reading it can get that general mood and plan around that.

Or perhaps you could get the cellphone numbers of those who regularly do the ride, that way if your going to be gracing us with your presence you can text us for a live upate as to expected eta.

This has always been somewhat of a democracy. The people who pitch decide the route and the exercises. There is no mystical committee.

My Number for anyone who wants it is 0210671734.
Keep in mind I may not be able to afford to reply but will do my best to do so (being effectively unemployed until my business gets busier and spending the better part of my weeks fuel budget on this one night).
Your chances are greater if your on Vodafone.
