Looks like it's going to be another nice night for a ride, just hope the wind dosn't pick up later. So are we heading to Duvauchelle tonight?

[phoenixgtr]

It looks like the general concensus is heading that way. I certainly won't complain

[sellywin]

Good ride though things really didnt flow for me over dyers and gebbies....
27 riders at the carpark which was great to see. Thanks to peter and a few others for putting up with my extreme slowness down hill!!!

Karla so keen for a girls ride sometime let me know!

[Transalper]

Another typical run today with more typical photos.

[Mikkel]

Hope you guys had a nice and unexciting trip!

Missed out since my bike was in bits - working on getting a rust issue on my tank sorted.

Eek! Did I really say a grlls ride? I'm so human - contradictory . Actions speak louder than words.

Tonight I felt off beam too, I slowed on every corner and balked at every car. Little Boy musta been cold on the way home, he squiggled like a worm (could have been all the chips he skived off everyone (thanks all for feeding him!) LOL.

I'm always keen to get out, especially when I can ride within my comfort zone. Will pm you Fireliv.

Cheers all for the company, hope to see you at the March Hare ~

[Deviant Esq]

I'll be very honest why I didn't come tonight and a lot of the reason why I haven't been to a lot of them lately - reading posts like this (warning: graphic text) has made me think hard about whether or not I'll continue to ride.

[Rashika]

Devient... if your number is up it is up. Whether it be by car/bike/cycle/walking/accident/illness... ANYTHING!
yagads man. I pushbike to work everday and have just as much chance of dying by that than by Mbike, with the fkn idiots who think I'm invisible and cut me off all the time. I'd rather be on a Mbike, at least i can stay with the flow of traffic and not be completely ignored.


At least on a bike I FEEL like I am alive. Yes there are risks, LIVING is a risk, work hard to gain experience and minimise those risks. That post you quoted... yes it IS nasty, and YES it may happen... but remember in THAT particular case the riders were NOT blameless. Dont do the stupid shit and you will minimalise the risks.

If you live you life in fear of dying, you are not living anything.
