    I received the following this morning from Adrien Please PM or e-mail me or post a reply here.

    Hi all,

    the warm days are around the corner, and since last season was loaded of bad accidents on mountain roads i was willing to build a riding group for Golden Port track sessions.

    The point would be to book 2 sessions (half a day) a months, for 3 to 5 months. It should be enough to take most daemons out of us.

    We would have to be at least 15 and we will need a little bit of Guanxi to push the moody guys of JinGang. If we are numerous enough it won't be too expensive.


    So far, besides all the people in this mail, i know 2 people interested. Feel free to forward this to any person you consider serious enough to ride on a track with other people.

    I am looking forward group motivation !!
    Anyone interested reply so i can start a list.

    Cheers!
    Andy

    Dear AndyBiker,

    Thanks for forwarding. Some track based instruction would be great, though I wish I understood Adrien's message better. I'm guessing that JinGang is a track, presumably in Beijing? If so, and this project gathers momentum, I'm guessing we could probably replicate the effort down here in Shanghai.

    thanks again, and cheers!

    Yes, Jing Gang Race track is in Beijing. I never met Adrien personally, but it seems he is in a group of experienced track riders. I think there is a group of track-ers in Shanghai as well.

    is this the place?
    you copy the html code from the 'link' tag in the top R/H corner of the map, then you paste it here, go to advanced editing in post reply box, select the copied text then click on 'Gmap' icon and it is done! I can't work out how to keep the signpost thing but it was at the center of this map

    Thanks jape, I know how to do it but ..
    It' is maybe the place. I think we have the Google Maps in China Offset issue here. When I use a code from Google maps being on the exact location, post it here it displays a location over 1 km different in N-S ans well as E-W directions

    Copied your code:
