I am hoping to hit the road on sat morning, weather permitting. Anyone have a spare couple of hours, thinking a quick run up Putty Rd would be nice.  [moto]

I would love to Tri,But DOC nsw has all of my bikes 

May be next time 

Tri, wish I could have done tomorrow, but I can do Sunday.

If not, no biggie.

Sorry no can do either,

Gotta get the vespa pink slipped at flywheels (yeah they boys are doing Broni a favour - I have to park it round the corner)

then we're off to Motori D'Italia to gawk at the machines! Hope to see a few of you there (I'm looking at you shire boys Dock and Al!)

Sorry no can do either.

Got one of my sons arriving for holiday so it will be an airport run for me in the cager......

jeez tri i dont think they like your bike or something or are you a better rider 

nah. It's all good.

What I found when I organised more rides that everyone needs a reasonable amount of notice. What usually ends up happening is that after a few larger rides, people with common goals / ability and the like tend to do spontaneous rides which are organised via txt.

The large group rides are awesome, but are more social than hard riding - it just tends to get  hard when to go hard all day when there are more than 4 or so riders, and even harder when the riders are at differing levels of ability / confidence.

+1 goldFish I often head out on my own for hard ride, normally for a short run. On the long group runs I tend to go harder around lunch and cruise home when we are more  likely to be a bit fatigued and make mistakes.

It has to be the bike, it aint my riding, but i try ride as often as i can so i can improve my riding. its not such a big ride for me I only live about 25 mins from the start of putty rd so it will be quick blast there, quick coffee, quick blast home. i will be back on domestics by 10  . Wife approves, i am happy, bikes cleared of cobwebs, happy dayz.

Very true all of that regarding group size etc....

Small group short ride = faster/quicker/home early
Big group = fast morning/lots a chatting/cruise home

Both are good and it's always good to mix it up.

Sorry this time Tricolore, gotta head up the F3 for a 3rd Birthday.
Have a good ride stay safe and watch out for the 

cheers
Matty...

Weather permitting, anyone interested? Putty or Old Rd?

Old road, yeah.
What time?
