Well after a bit of site housekeeping the Alternative Wednesday Night Rides Program is posted in the Calendar through to the end of current daylight saving, last event being 31 March 2010

Please note that these rides have various destinations and meeting points.

The rides are in an addition to the current WNCR - Wellington Wednesday Night Cruisie Ride and are not a replacement to that weekly ride.

You now have the opportunity to look at the Wednesday Daylight Saving Wednesday Night Rides Program Until 31 March 2010, and make your own choice of whichever ride/s you may want to attend.

A few comments about the first two rides:

24 February - Harbour and Bays by its very nature a lower speed zone ride.

3 March - The Three Hills - note a pre-ride will occur next Sunday 28 Feb enroute to Martinborough for the Police Training morning. More details will follow.

I hope you enjoy the remainder of the daylight saving period and the rides ahead.

A good ride over the three hills today. All roads were good.

Heads up for Wednesday: the ride will go over Wallaceville and Mangaroa Hills and then to Rimutaka Hill summit. Returning down SH2 turning left at Te Marua, through Maymorne, Mangaroa, and Whitemans Valley intersection - proceeding directly to Wallaceville Hill and to Trentham and finishing at Silverstream Cafe and Sports Bar (opposite Silverstream railway station).

Hey hey. Nice to see you all briefly at the summet tonight. So sorry I didn't stop properly. I got rather confuesed and it took me a while to recoginse everyone. Was following the other group over to Featherston, got rather left behind, and thought it was them stopping. Ah crap, that must have come across as being so rude. Sorry, I really got confused. Néxt time I'll say a proper hello.

Hope the ride went well. Another windy evening. Was not my favourite ride back over the hill tonight.

[Toaster]

Wasn't mine either. I had spent hours doing my hair before riding, only to have it ruined in that wind!
