The classic saying on being a new rider--- You first get a full bucket of luck and an empty bucket for skill. When you start out, you are mostly using up the luck bucket. Your job is to fill up the skill bucket before the luck bucket runs out. Best wishes and welcome to riding. - Practice as much as you can, and find a more experienced buddy to ride with and ask lots of questions..

Tonik Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Welcome aboard! As you get into group riding remember the golden rule. Ride your own pace no matter how fast the group is going. Do not push it. Any group from here will wait for you at the next turn, and truly does not care if they have to wait. In fact it will make them happy that you are riding your own pace. Any group that won't wait, or tells you to speed up is a crap group and you should leave it immediately. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muckles Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) I'm from Cleveland, but like many others here I am down south frequently! I'm always D2R and don't mind incorporating in newer riders to my plans. The golden rule, as @Tonik said, is "Ride Your Own Ride" we'll wait for you at the next turn if needed. Let me know of you want to get out on a longer whole day ride and we can work something out! Edited June 16, 2020 by Muckles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grokked Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 Welcome to this most excellent corner of the internet, there's plenty of good advice to be found here (Tonik's post earlier in this thread is but one example). You'll also find plenty of sarcasm, questionable humor, and friendly insults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
