Michaela

Should be great ride. Its been a while since I've been on the bike. NowI have to get on to finish sculpting my seat Looking forward to catching up.

This will be my first monthly ride with GRO so also looking forward to it. I've just returned from a 2.5 week riding trip incorporating the Phillip Island Moto GP races and can say my riding confidence has skyrocketed! See you all on the day.
Cheers
Rebecca

hi i'd really like 2 go on this however i should warn i'm not da fastest bike on da road! But this sounds like fun!

We cater for all riders and no-one is left behind on a monthly ride. We have a lead rider and a tail rider and if required an experienced rider buddy can be arranged for you to ride with.

Just because your not fast doesn't mean you are not a good rider.

Trish

Sorry I just realised I won't be able to attend this ride as I'll be down the coast. I have a big party on Saturday night and I'll be probably be nursing a sore head after BD drinks. So have a lovely day in Berrima.

Michaela

Excellent!! Should be a good day!!!

Hi Gals
Hopfully I won't be working and able to make this ride for a catch up with every one.
Mike

I am at Michaela's paaaty too...and I am currently directing a dinner show of Faulty Towers down at the Wombarra Bowlo and my rehearsals start at 9am...so: no go! (Again!)


Hey, good to see you are staying away from the Gong, as there is the annual pushbike ride for MS on that day...7-4...
It is a major disruption in the area and I got caught out there on many occasion...

Hi all

Is there a southern meeting place, or group going?

Would like to attempt to attend, after my unfortunate illnesses this weekend.

So disappointed.

Thanks

Hi Lisa/Southern Gals

We could ride out to Picton to meet them there.

Im not sure what time they will get there?

Cheers
Joy

This will be my first monthly ride with GRO aswell. I've just bought myself a bike after not having had one for 3 years. I'm really looking forward to getting back into riding.

Looking forward to meeting everyone... (and I'm a little nervous)...

Bec

Hi Joy and southerners

Sounds good to me.
This will be my first group outing also Bec. Tried for last weekend,but I was plagued with illness, some self inflicted and the flu.

Could meet at Maca's Fairy Meadow/ Gateway center?
Any idea of time to meet?
and eta at picton?

Please feel free to offer any suggestions, I have no idea. Just keen for a ride.
