Doing it today.
My first bike ride out in a group ever. Very enjoyable, apart from all those unknown twisties. I think I entered something like 85% of the corners wrong. A couple were close to 'hello tarmac' time.
A lot of common 'L' plate mistakes came flooding back to me, like looking at the bike in front's tail light instead of the road ahead. Great to see faces, and I'll come again next time. Don't know why I haven't done this sooner.
On the ride home, I'd say the day noticeably improved my riding. If you ride alone, all that happens is you become your own yardstick, and improve your bad habits. That's one of the things I got from the ride, it reminded me of how I used to ride, and couldn't anymore.
Great stuff. Thanks to all who looked after me.
