It was fun, I love being on the track..no cars, no gravel or potholes to contend with, just getting to know the bike better.
Very hot though, and I managed to get sunburnt and dehydrated!
Next time there's one on I'll let you know in better time so you can go

I certainly can recommend track days, tho doing one with more actual instruction would be more useful I think..

Glad you enjoyed it.
Get Street and Sport to let you know when the next course they are involved with is on. Very instructive I've heard.

Hi,
I'm new to this forum too - I need to get posting so I can ditch this L-Plate

Wondered if any of you ladies go along to the Wednesday night rides? Thought I might go along this week and put a few faces to names.

HI Jally!

I'm usually at the wed ride, along with Helen of Troy, Karla, True to Life, MJ, and I believe Sondela made an appearance when I wasnt there one week. So rock along. Am pretty sure I'll be there this wed!

Thanks fireliv that's great news - I'm feeliing brave enough to go this week now!
Can you give me an idea of a typical ride? Do you eat before you leave or find somewhere enroute? Back in CHCH within a couple of hours?

We have set routes, so you can check on the thread as to where we are going. THey still havent all been decided but Phoenixgtr(organiser/fiance!) and I have decided that we are doing "Wet's Route", up dyers, along summit road to sumner, round the bays to the Wheatshef. Pays to eat before if you can unless you are happy with hot chips at the pub. Usual rides take an hour to destination, as the aim is to be back before 10 (for learners and restricted riders). There is usually a leader and Tail end Charlie and heaps of riders are happy to keep an eye on ya if you are not confident.
Look forward to seeing you there!

Crusty Demons - awwwhh! Have a great time, should be awesome! It's looking like I'm going to lose Wed nites now, school has started and Little Boy has both guitar lessons and soccer practice Wed. Such are the ways of the She-devil.
