    Wow! That's even cheaper than a Ride Right, Ride Safe course.  In fact, that's cheaper than anything!I put myself down as an intermediate rider, but I'm willing to take advice: d'you think I should downgrade to beginner?

    Roughly the same price as a free beer. I might even take up the offer.

    Cheap as chips! Would love to attend but it's on the same weekend as the battle of the streets and me and me mates are heading up to Paeroa from various parts of the southern half of the North Is on that day. Bugger!

    Interesting. In Wellington the training is being held tomorrow at a cost of $20. That's really cheap but why the difference?  ???

    Probably they think us Dorklanders are:

    • Pitifully impoverished by the cost of living in the Big Smoke

    • Not as good as Wellywood riders, so we really, really need training

    • possibly all of the above.

    In Tauranga a few weeks ago it was $40. The smaller the city, the higher the price.

    It must be noted that while the positioning looks beautiful, I couldn't shift the ST, because of the rapidly rising pain level in the bone-on-bone knee.  Uncamoose got it up (the bike, what were you thinking?!)
