Enjoy each ride, examine other riders lines and braking points, it won't be long before you spot the numpty from the safer spirited rider. The most important thing is don't ride beyond your comfort zone. By all means push it but don't go beyond.

Have fun.

Unless you come across a blackbird with a pillion, aint that right beenz .lol! poor sod musta been screaming inside that helmet.

Ollie, like the rest said, just ride within your limits and don't try anything stupid on unfamiliar roads, Sunday was a hoot because like beenz said we knew the roads, yet on saturday when i went to Wales with beenz and Xan i let them go off at there own pace because i wasn't sure of the roads, if your out with a decent bunch people will always pull over and wait for the more inexperienced riders in the group. No one will think any different of you if you roll up 5 min's behind the rest.
Next oppurtunity you get try and get on a rideout as it will improve your skills, follow other peoples lines.

Fizz gave a great tip on my 1st rideout, dont hide at the back thinking that no one will see how you ride, as you'll find you'll be riding faster to keep up.
Try and sit behind the leader of the group, this way you'll be following an experienced rider, watch his lines and depending on what machine he's on look for brake lights (not always good if your following someone who uses engine braking alot )
Hope to see you soon.

and for my next great tip, dont sit to close behind Cuffy, just in case his pillion seat detatches from his bike.

and my 3rd great tip, sometimes Stretchie leaves his tankbag on a petrol pump, this is a good opportunity to get free petrol whilst he isnt looking
