I hope to be joining you all... but if the weather is slightly dodgy then I'm first admit I won't be there...

[AllanB]

Weather report is for snow overnight and a high of 6. Should make for some stunning photos. I've a nice one somewhere parked in Little River with the backround hills covered in snow.

[Guzza]

Heres hoping Monday is as nice as today. Long range forcast suggests the weather should be clear by about lunch time :)

If I surprise myself and get up early enough and the weather looks inviting I'll try and make it. Otherwise I might catch you at the Motukarara Straight

Yep, that stuff jumped out at me too. Some people are good like that, really in the spirit of things aren't they.

hehe and here i was thinking I was gona get in the shit again with a smart arse post :niceone:

Weathers looking good tomorow, COLD but good... having said that people the hills will be frozen and covered in grit, same as the road into little river. take it easy might see ya's and remember its a public holliday so cages for miles.

[Subike]

Be glad your not coming north,
I got home from work today at 3.30pm to Greta Valley to find 2" of snow on the ground ! With a frost perdicted in the area overnight, it would make for some slippery roads out here, so enjoy the ride southwards. i will be thinking of you guys having fun. Lucky buggers!!.

so there is actually grit on the hill? and ice in the mornings? (anyone know?)

I don't usually rise till 9 so the frost is usually gone by then.

I was going to try for a very early morning ride sometime this week.

[Mikkel]

I hope so, I at least hope there will be others there when I get to Halswell.

[Guzza]

See you there. Got kids to farm out first so forgive me if im running a few minutes late.

[cruza]

I see, I am not alone :)

Hooray for thermals.

[Lil'M]

Weathers looking ok for a ride I reckon! will be wrapping up warm tho, see ya'll at 11.30 :clap:

[fireliv]

Great little ride! Not quite Akaroa but I enjoyed Gebbies!!

[Mikkel]

Thanks for the ride guys. Unless you like slippery roads and rain be glad you didn't continue on to Akaroa... for the rest of us it was a real hoot though. I've never tried anything as consistently slippery as the muddy stockroute up to Hilltop. Slippery when wet indeed... Alas, now my bike needs a good wash - can hardly read the number plate - guess I'll get around to it sometime over the next few months.

[_Shrek_]

was a nice little run to LR then over Gebbies to the wheatsheaf for some lunch & a chat then up over the kiwi now that was fun :msn-wink: & my daughter liked it as well :laugh: thanks M will do it again sometime

Sounds like I made a good call to turn back at Little River then :niceone:

Truthbetold it was the queue at the coffee shop that helped me make that decision ....

[McWild]

Haha yeah so I may have decided not to go to Akaroa but ended up being coaxed into a ride to Diamond harbour by Harvd, the dick!

I hope this caused much confusion to Phoenix and Fireliv as they came tearing back through Lytellton.

Oh and I came bloody close to running out of petrol, which led to me unexpectedly stopping twice. Does that count as breaking down?

[Mr Triple]

Sorry I didn't turn up today.. Headed in from Rangiora got as far as Hornby and had to turn around. Started to get a migraine so went home. Hope you all had a good one. :)
