G'day Wattsy,

actually...it sounds like you did really well for a 'hell ride ' newbie!. A couple of points...you shouldn't be intimidated by bikes or riders.....especially given that you ride beach rd all the time...the 'pose' bike capital of the universe!.....you need to 'impose' your pressence on the bunch too...if you give them an inch, they'll dance on your head!....suck wheel when you need to...make 'em suffer when you don't!.......so you up for it again/....It's on my program for 18/9......it'd be good to catch up....we'll have a brew after at kennedy's,

cheers,

Hitchy
