So after todays ride I thought it might be a good idea to lay down some advice or techniques for people to know before they go out riding.

Maybe we can start a professional list or something and make a sticky? I'd just like to help others from making the mistakes I did.

1) Don't ride with the group if you feel uncomfortable about the speed. It's ok to ride at YOUR pace, not others who most likely have more experience.

2) If you want others to pass you, signal to get to the right side of the lane and then signal to others to pass you.

3) If you're going wide in a turn, don't slow down. When in doubt, throttle out (speed up). The bike will want to stand up straight when you slow down in a turn, causing you to go wide. Make sure for SMOOTH throttle roll on.

Thanks Matty.
