As a newbie rider, I have to say all the folk that I have rode with from this site have been awesome in relation to setting the pace, no one has pushed us newbies to dangerous limits but rather taught us that we have a pace and it will improve as we ride more, it means you learn at your own (as the thread states) pace which is just brilliant and I thank you all for that it makes the ride so much nicer and so much more fun and a comfortable non dangerous challenge to improve your skills at your rate. :kuda: :kuda:

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

Today's run on the OPH had a great turn out with fine weather and dry roads, but there was quite a bit of hard braking on a few occasions so I thought I might just re-bump this thread for good measure. It's a road boys and girls, not a race track!

I don't think it's a problem as long as people are not just slaming on the anchors.

Hence the need for a reminder about this thread! Myself Im happy to putter along utilising throttle control only, if I use the brakes in any way I feel like Ive messed up my entry speed and thats what they are there for.
