By the looks of things, these rides seem to be more of the intermediate/advanced riders D:! Don't think I'm experienced enough to go on one of these with you guys... yet!

**Slyer** · 12th September 2011, 00:52

We shall have to arrange some 250 rides.

Definitely not. Anyone is good to come, you go your own pace.

Won't be '250 rides' anymore with the new LAMS scheme though :P

Yea, it just depends on who shows up. If only more experienced riders show up the pace will be faster, however, if there were some 250's along the rides would be more suited for them. They are designed to be fun for everyone not just experienced riders.

Faster? Sounds like slower from your other post. A Coro only takes six to seven-ish hours even with a good lunch break, gas stops and plenty of pies and lies.

Ten hours dragging crashed bikes up banks isn't exactly how any "fast" or "experienced" riders would do the Coromandel.

I can do the coro is under 2 hours

...first of all I didnt crash so don't try and insult me mmmkay, second of all we took many breaks as it was the first time most of us had done the coro loop. The crash in the ditch was due to it being to dark to see where the road went, not any lack of ability. I suggest you keep your silly comments and judgements to yourself from know on as you clearly just want to boost your own ego.

So what you're saying is that a "experienced" bunch of bikers like yourselves don't know how to ride within the limits of your vision/abilities? Or did you just not bother turning the headlights on?

See you at Hampton Downs this Saturday if you want to whip out your "ego".

Ride safe, ride hard.

**Slyer** · 12th September 2011, 22:15

When you can't see where you are going, generally you slow down.
Experience teaches you these things...

...I have no need to prove myself to you, also I never said we were an experienced bunch of bikers...It was the first time I have ridden with that group, the usual people who turn up on the Saturday morning rides are experienced riders.

Have fun boosting you're ego at the track you all experienced great rider you
