Coro Loop

**icekiwi** · 11th April 2008, 17:28

I was looking forward to this ride being the first outing with a bunch of KB'ers but looking through the posts i'm wondering if its a good idea to spend the day on the road with a bunch of fuckwits (not everyone...if the cap fits wear it..) Is anyone with 1/2 a brain going? maybe we can team up and make a whole brain...
I reckon it will be worth going still to see some of these hero's maybe taking themselves out on their bike or someone taking them out off their bike...
Sure to be an interesting day one way or the other...

No-one rides slower than me so you will have some competition to be last man down...........err... probably not the right terminology for this ride, change that to tail end charlie.......

RULES OF THIS RIDE
Ok, due to the apparent large volume of riders turning
up to this event, to keep things safer, I am instituting
some rules.

Those who know me realise I am quite flexible and don't
like over organisation on group rides but because of the
amount of people coming and the fact that it would be
nice to complete a Coro ride of this size without a
bin the following rules will need to apply.

Most of these are common sense for large group rides.

1. I will not be riding the majority of the time at
my normal pace for safety reasons as I have not ridden
with a few of the riders turning up. You can maintain
a fast pace in small groups with riders you know well but
this ride will need to be toned down a bit.

2. Try and keep the top speed down to
save your licence and to prevent this turning into
a race to get the last scallop burger at the Coroglen.

3. No overtaking on blind corners. In regard to this
ensure you keep in your lane when you can also see
through corners as these will be the sections of road
other riders will be passing you on if you are slower
than them in the twisties. This means keeping the right
lane free at all times except if you are overtaking.
Absolutely no underatking at anytime.

4. When overtaking, make sure no one is already doing
so, or else you will end up with an unwanted pillion.
Always indicate your intentions at all times.

4. Leave a good following distance, because if a rider
in front has to brake hard, with lots of riders you get
a concertina effect which means a large pile of bikes
and riders to untangle and you will definitely miss out
on your burger.

5. If you find it necessary to point your front wheel
at the sun or your rear wheel at the moon, just make sure
you have plenty of room and you won't take out other riders
if things go pear shaped.

6. Don't blast past every one on the straights and then
end up holding up more experienced riders in the tight
stuff. If you see you are holding people up, shake your
right leg, move to the left and slow down a little
so they can pass safely and ride to their own abilities.

7. Finally, all riders are not to exceed their own comfort
level and must ride to their own abilities. Do not let
the red mist come down and the tetesterone take over
and think you can keep up with the more experienced riders
if you are not experienced yourself.

How do you know you are riding beyond your abilities:
a) Your breathing gets rapid.
b) You visor fogs up easily, espcecially in the tight
stuff.
c) Your heart rate increases.
d) You feel uncomfortable.
e) You know you are going quicker than you should and
you know you are pushing it more than usual.
f) Your lines go to pieces and things get out of
shape under braking.
g) You have a nice view of the sky through native
foliage and you hurt lots.

Once again I mention I will not be held responsible for other peoples
actions on the day. I am merely a facilitator of this ride organising
meet points and the dat etc.

I'd suggest one more;

No undertaking. Nothing worse than lining up a corner and having someone dive through inside you forcing you wide (and possibly into the oncoming lane).

Agreed. A point I had forgotten. Definitely no undertaking at any time.
No one expects a bike flying up the inside and I know exactly what that is like too.

Good stuff Paul.
Been a while since I've been on a big ride or a C-Loop ride where there hasnt been at least one bin. Totally in support of making this one a safe one.
