True, but there was a meet up 2 weeks ago on thurs. Unless that was just a random one

Someone usually posts on the South one but mates might just text up that ride? or the numbers are there to do it more often as winter time down here we don't always have a turn out... been just 2 bikes a few times when I have gone... and once just me

Historically it would be from Z westgate then around a route decided on the night to end up usually at bar africa in albany.

It has been learner friendly to an extent but you would need to be able to keep up a solid 100k's and be relatively confident in the corners. really depends on the group that turns up as to how learner friendly the ride is.

Nah I'll pass then. I really really hate holding people up.

That and I'm kinda blind at night. So I get quite rattled when I can't see the guy in front.

I remember when it was known as 'Auckland Thursday Night Loss of Licence Ride'

What was the record? eight in one night?

Haha wow. Really not a learner friendly ride then. But that does sound like fun!! (Not the licence loosing part that is, the before the loosing of the licence part)

It's just I hav problems seeing at night (tho I really need a ride) and I do feel really bad if people have to hold back or slow down for me. Not their fault I'm a learner.
