I'm looking for Christchurch Adv rides

[Buyasta]

its nothing too challanging - just go at your own pace and dont push yourself. someone can wait at turnoffs etc so you know which way to go

Sweet, sounds good.

Woo Hoo! Well done that man! If the other guys are keen for a fast blat or some serious stuff then I'll show you some easy stuff and we can have a chilled cruise.
Around the peninsula is mainly dirt roads so not hard at all

Awesome, cheers for that Peeteey.


I'll see you guys on Saturday at the BP then.

[brp]

I've gotten a reprieve so I am now able to join in on some fun also, could we have another meeting place say the BP Station on the corner of Linwood Ave & Raupo St?

Sweet - good idea - yeah know the one next to the cemetery on Linwood Ave

Yeah no worries Buyasta - just shingle and tar

[MTW]

Well it's about time I got my feet wet with a ride as well. Will be my second time on shingle on the Pegaso (first on a hill)...so keen for an easier ride too.

See you all at the BP at 10.30

[bushy]

All the stars are aligning for me today so will see you all at BP

[Buyasta]

Heh, I'm glad I was too tired and sore to do Jubilee and Bossu with you guys, the sky suddenly got real dark a coupla km before Tai Tapu and it started drizzling a little, so I had to pull over and switch back to my clear visor and chuck the rain cover back over my tail bag, but I still had time to stop for petrol and get home and halfway outta my gear before the thunder and heavy rain started.

Anyways, thanks for the ride guys, it was pretty tiring, but fun.

[MTW]

What a day!! Bit of everything thrown in there, rain, damp shingle, dry shingle, dry roads, wet roads, hail!! Glad to hear at least one of us didn't get wet.

The heavens opened at Birdlings flat and stayed open, until I got home...guess what...suns out now.

But it was worth it. Had a fantastic day out, thanks to all for their patience, has given me a lot of confidence on the seal and also a lot of confidence in the tyres I fitted.

Looking forward to the next ride already.

[Peeteey]

Great ride today, thanks folks!
Great to meet a new face or two and some new bikes too

Long before the group I was following on the way home reached Lyttelton, I was firmly ensconced in a piping hot shower. Bloody brilliant!

Here's a coupla pics from the day, only 28gb of video footage to sort through now

[TangoCharlie]

Gutted I couldn't make today's ride, but keen for an outing on Sunday?

What do you mean by the second Huruni River bit? If you use Random Spur Rd and Kaiwara Rd to get to Culverden after Cheviot (or even without Random Spur) then you have effectively a version of the CCC loop.
Some talk of doing that in a few weeks but don't let that stop you.
