HERE WE GO!!!!

Beginners Rides @ THORNDON Part 1 - 20th May 2012

Now, this being aimed at the new riders out there (that new on the bike, or new to riding with a group) and im really aiming at this ride to help out the riders who arent so skilled on the dirt or want to learn some fundamentals of off road riding . I know my way round Thorndon, but not every trail, so this isnt going to be a ride where we go right off the beaten track as it were....

So, the plan of the day is as follows:

10.00 Start.
Meet at Warley Go Kart track at around 10am - not sharp, by try to get there on time so we can all get the welcomes and proceedings under way.

10.00-10.30
Use half hour for any questions you want to ask about anything - although im not to good at personal hygiene
Will have basic tools, etc, with me if you need anything quickly looking at

10.30
Aim to be under way by then. We will ride the trail in sections, so everyone can ride at their own pace, but also allowing people to regroup. Dont worry, the sections will be pretty self explanatory and any change in route we will use as a stop point..... We're here to ride together, not get lost.

We will ride out from Warley Go Kart track, across into King Goerges woods, then cut through North Thorndon all the way to South Thorndon where we will stop for drinks and a break to allow people to chat, etc.
Then, we will make our way up through Thorndon South to Herongate, cut back into Throndon North and pound out up hill back to were we started!

So...... Up for it????

I'll do the same as sunday, bring the walkie talkies as its easier to loose people at thorndon, also bring tools and bike stand.
Worth saying that if you have a "mud" tyres they'll be worth having on, better to be over tyred than under like a few people at sunday (mentioning no names)

I would like to attend, but I will have to see what state im when I return from scotland saturday afternoon.

Im supposed to be working but being the boss has to have some perks......ill see if i can make some changes

I would like to join this ride - I am not a beginner, but would like to meet others to ride around Thorndon - I live opposite Hartswood, so its very much my local patch. Darren
