    First up, the instructors were the good guys and were most helpful and don't deserve stick. The main guy was on a big red VTR, I can't remember his name and the other dude was Morne (More-Nah)

    If we had the time on the day I would have had a friendly chat to them, but the noobs needed feeding first.

    Most of these instructors are LTSA BHS instructors and they must teach you to use all four fingers, unfortunately. It is part of the curriculum like always stopping with your left foot down.

    I haven't even mentioned the sage advice someone blurted out 'ah and NEVER brake on a curve!' (not one of the instructors)

    Yes a fantastic day, thanks Ntox for the use of your sky, and the food

    On another note, M how has a new bike as hers was getting a bit old.

    So that means a coro loop this weekend anyone else keen?
    Probably do what we did last time and meet up for breakfast in the city and go from there.
