SneakyMcC Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Twas a gr8 ride until folk started binnin'it! 21 bikes turned up. Three guys chucked it up the road. The last was an MV! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 oohhh not nice to see. 3 down in a ride ain't good. If people are pushing that hard then it ain't the place for a newbie like me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SneakyMcC Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Thats the stupid thing. It was the slowest ride I can remember? The MV was a newbie and prolly got caught out on the gravel. The road had been resurfaced. The other 2 went down on the same corner. It does tighten up, but the first to go has been there poss quite a few times and I think the other guy poss just followed him in?

Scotty Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I've just read the whole thread and it sums up why I wouldn't attend to be honest. Some have the view that it's a ride for all and everyone goes at their own pace. Others suggest that perhaps it's not the place for the lesser experienced because it's basically a bit of a hoon (using my own words). When there's a mix of opinions then there's confusion and TBH I don't want to get in the mix when I'm still learning the ropes. More interestingly than my comments above, I noticed you're in the EAMG. I joined on the meet night at the beginning of the month and went out on the Sunday for my first observed ride. I was actually very proud of the feedback as it appears despite me only riding for 2-3 months, my car Roadcraft skills have transferred reasonably well. I obviously have a huge way to go but seeing my report full of the word "good" was reassuring. I rode back home from Chelmsford with the Chris Reed and it was great to follow him at a rate of "reasonable progress". Chelsea Mick is hopefully coming to the next Tuesday meet as well. It seems our paths are crossing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
