Weather
As with all Group Ride Outs, please note that if the overnight temperature is forecast to be 3C degrees or below at the ride start meeting place, the ride out will be cancelled automatically. There will not normally be a second notification if this is the case. We only use the BBC Weather for our information.

Back-Marker System
One of the riders will need to Back-Mark so any volunteer for this please advise the ride leader when you register for the ride. If you have an orange Hi-Viz please bring it with you, or one may be provided on the day, or dependant on the size of the group an alternative marker may be agreed.
Please make sure you are fully conversant with the rules of the “BACK-MARKER SYSTEM“.

Hi-Viz
If you wear hi-viz, please ensure it is not Orange as this is reserved for the ‘back-marker’ during our ride-outs. We appreciate you may normally wear an orange hi-viz whilst riding. However, some find it confusing when in the middle of the group to see two or more riders with the orange hi-viz. So, in an effort to avoid confusion and markers leaving their post prematurely ONLY the back-marker is to wear orange hi-viz. Thank you

Agenda

The System
Bends and Positioning
Motorways

Ever had to react to a situation suddenly? You’ll learn the details of the renowned Police System to ensure that you always have the breathing space to tackle the hazards every biker faces. The System was developed to reduce Police rider accidents in pursuit riding situations; before the System, the accident rate of police drivers and riders was one every 7,000 miles. Since the introduction of “the System” that dropped to one every 70,000 miles.
Bends and Positioning – applying the system of motorcycle control.
How safely are you keeping away from likely hazards? How far ahead can you spot what’s going on? Positioning directly affects both. In week 1, you’ll learn how to use your positioning to be more stable when cornering, ride safer and see further ahead. You will also learn about ‘observation links’ and other tricks of the trade. How stable is your bike when cornering?

We are also pleased to confirm that HELITE will be attending in the afternoon from circa 2:30pm to answer any queries and assist you in fitting prior to any order.

Wales Tour/Wizz - July 2025
2025-07-07 - 2025-07-10 | West Sussex
This is a tour/wizz that has become such a group favourite that we currently do it twice a year! Broadly speaking, for 2025 we will repeat the previous successful format, travelling to Wales on a Monday and returning on a Thursday, with two full days exploring some of the very best roads in the UK. We deliberately choose to avoid school holidays and weekends, so we don’t have to share with too many caravans or other traffic. Overall we’re talking of around 1200 miles planned and organised into manageable stages.
For 2025 we are proposing for July 7th – 10th and September 8th – 11th.
This event is open to all our group members, and we do encourage Tour/Wizz newbies. But please be aware that the overall mileage, duration, road conditions and weather combine to make this a challenging trip… ie: tiring but fun.. and very rewarding! Please read the notes below and check with your instructor if you are in doubt as to the suitability of the trip.
I will once again be aided and abetted by my two Welsh Politburo co-conspirators Roger Manning and Hugh Curran.
NOTE: We will be based in Mid West Wales, with the venue and price currently a work in progress. Further updates once we have finalised details.
The price has yet to be confirmed but we are working on £195 sharing and £275 single rooms for the three nights half board (ie: bed, breakfast and evening meal). Please note that single rooms will likely be in short supply. We shall be limiting Tour/Wizz numbers to a manageable maximum of 30 riders, and if previous trips are anything to go by, demand will greatly outstrip supply, and spaces may have to be allocated as fairly as we can. Pillions are very welcome.
*IMPORTANT*
Whilst our Tours / Wizzes are open to all; we do have some safety criteria that you must meet. So before you come forward and to avoid disappointment please read our Preparing for a Tour and ensure you are comfortable with the advice and that you do or will meet the criteria.
If in any doubt then discuss with your Instructor, Roger or myself.
If you would like to reserve a place (to be confirmed once final details are known), or have questions, please email me on timbenians@gmail.com.
In the first instance, please let me know the dates you want to book for, and your sharing/single room preference.
Thanks, Tim
