Yea, I forgive them all! lol

I was out on Sunday and forgive me if I didn’t nod, but after failing to get a response to any of my first few nods I gave up so not to look like a complete foo ...
The format of the day was: 9am coffee, morning safety presentation; few slides... leading into 1/2 the group on observed rides, 2 riders for each cop bike, each taking turns to lead. Feedback on performance, constructive advise. Lunch break. The other 1/2 now disappear on their rides whilst other group have more slides, videos, questionnaire. Coffee. Final talk, more video. Go home 4pm :)
I think you take away from the day as much as you want really - ride as close to how you would normally and you'll get honest feedback that you probably already know, but don’t like to admit. The under lying safety message of the slides was hard to ignore - the video of the young kid hooning through residential roads was rather sobering.
Reminders of how vulnerable we are always welcome and following someone with as much skill as those guys have you are bound to pick up a couple of tips. Overall id recommend the day to everyone - keep an open mind.
Thanks to Colin and the rest of the guys for a top day.
Sounds like a great day...best thing about it is its FREE!
looking forward to doing mine in June :)
interesting about the nodding though - I've noticed that probably half of the bikers I passed on sunday didn't nod back...perhaps people are starting to not bother?
Got mine on Sun but might have to cancel :(
Thats bad news, can you reshedule?
Neil, is that because of Jennie?
