Most of my group rides are with QMRF, but I'm always happy to meet new people.


Lily, when riding with a good group, there's always someone who rides TEC (Tail End Charlie). Regardless of the speed of the slowest rider, TEC always stays at the back to make sure everyone gets to the destination okay. This makes for a very safe situation for beginners, as they don't get left behind. Also, it's common practice for whomever is directly behind the leader to stop at each intersection to let the group know which way to go. When TEC catches up, the corner marker heads off again.

BTW, I work at Darra, so I go past Springfield every day.

Look forward to seeing you all out on the road sometime! :D

I work at Boral Bricks, doing Quality Control. Been there about 14 1/2 years now, doing QC for around 11 years. Time flies when you're having fun! :shock:

Yeah, Mrs Tree rides, too. We actually got our RE licences at the same time, but she's happy to stick with the ZZR 250, while I moved on to much bigger pastures! ;)
