group rides are organised by people who put their hand up to organise them... so, organise one and see what happens..
tips (from someone who's organised one or two)
- take charge - pick a route and a start and finish time - there's no democracy in this process if you want it to happen
- give more than a week notice if you want more than the odd attendee.
- if no one shows interest, then go anyway and take pics!
smaller gatherings tend to be organised adhoc - I went for a ride on Monday with 2 others on a spur of the moment (cause I'm on hols and Broni let me our for a day) - these tend not to be posted on the forum.
There is a _large_ group ride organised for NSW every 2 months or so, but these are more social than riding, given the fact that there can be 12 or more bikes in attendance..

Cheers fishman  I don't want to organise a ride, i've organised drives in car clubs in the past and it's not really my thing. How about an adhoc burn through the Old Rd --> Calga --> Wisemans and back through Glenorie? Or maybe just the Old Rd on early Saturday moring? Any takers? |

Got things to do in the morning this saturday, they are over sth way so I'll most likely head for a little squirt through the park.

They do love the RNP, that is why I usually only use the half park as it is more difficult to be clocked.
There is no actual straight enough section to be pinged properly.
Remember they have to get a lock for 3+ seconds for it to be legal.
Usually when you get written down it is because the reading was not solid enough but they know and you know
you were going too fast.
Help me out those of us who are on the job, am I correct in saying this.
Mind you that is not a license to wrap yourself around a tree.
Also keep in mind that when you are in a group ride if there is a distant of less than 200 metres between riders
a radar check can be seen as invalid but again same as above not a license to knock yourself out.

Cause there was snaps, this is after lunch before which on the way up the Pass we got soooooo bloody wet and not a lot of fun, well I say that it was on the way up. On the way down the Pass in greasy wet conditions spotting the oil patches wasn't fun really, slowest I've ever been down there.  |
