Daylight Saving Tuesday night rides until 31 March 2010

**BuzzardNZ** · 16th March 2010, 07:23

Hi All,
I'm just curious, how many usually turn up to these rides? Also, do you do them on any other days, like weekends?
Do you get a good spread of makes models and CC ratings? I don't wanna turn up on a 1000 to be surrounded with scooters if you know what I mean

Cheers,
Buzzard.

The amount of people turning up varies night to night, minimum 3 maximum 18?
CC's are all over the place starting at 250 up to Cams 1300cc Busa.

As for other rides, Tuesday, Wedneday x 2, Thursday and Saturday.

Just check the other threads.

Cheers

These rides are on the slow side, and quite suited to A scooter. You might want to turn up at the Duckpond on Wednesday at 6pm, as the pace is more suited to casual riders that go at a normal speed on a variety of bikes, mainly over 250cc. Just remember, go up the front if you want to go fast, go at the back if you want to go slow, it aint brain surgery.

Wednesday and Thursday for you then matey, although no one held up the KTM last week, seemed to be only 4 250's out of the whole pack of 12!!!
Tuesdays a 'slow mentoring' ride, intended for a quite toodle and where experienced riders can mentor newbies etc

Wednesday is a medium (own pace) ride for all levels.
Thursday is for the brave and radar detector touting lunatic set

Yeah that was the most diverse group we have had yet. First week had more L platers, which seems all but extinct now. I guess we could call them Learnersaurus.

Tuesday is a very slow pace, but not a mentor ride and no mentors attend. It'sjust a facility for slower/newer riders to come out of the closet and have a go with other bikers prepared to keep the pace down to a non-pants-filling pace.

I try to go to all three rides each week, gets faster as the week progresses which is great fun. I just love Thursday and the resulting weekend rides!

Nothing wrong with being nuts. Nuts are good for us.

Hopefully we will see you on a ride when work doesn't call you away mate!
