You will have fun, I promise. Come and say hi when you arrive, you will be very welcomed. Bear in mind some have been riding together for a few times now so chat easy, but we are all a very friendly bunch.

Try not to over think it, these ride are designed around people such as yourself.
Relax and enjoy the day....I assure you, you will get a real kick out of it.

I went to get some practice in higher speed zones with a longer distance than I'm used to and accidentally did this: Map

Also I find some boots and a neck sock thing to stop the wind getting at your neck helps a lot with feeling comfortable at speed. It might be 1 or the other but I'm not sure cause I got mine at the same time.

I just use a beanie with the lid cut off as a nexk warmer, works a treat...

Hi, I would like to join in and come along. I would meet up with you at Caltex Dairy Flat at around 10.00am, if this is correct? Have ridden with KB on Wednesday nights last year but haven't ridden in a group since dropping my bike on a corner end of January.

Just waiting on a replacement licence before I can book and sit my full, until then Becca is on the trusty ninja as her bike is sold! So hopefully we can again join you all soon (oh my broken foot has finally healed too which helps)

You will be fine! I am easily worried and I enjoyed the last ride I did with Mom and Maha.

Yep! A good environment to get used to group rides.
