Hey all
Im keen to cross the hill on Friday Night (IF the forcast storm arrives Saturday as planned):blank:
Weather allowing (eg not a hurricane) I will be gathering up riders at the Haywards- opposite the Dry Creek Quarry around 7pm :niceone:
Anyone welcome - leisurely pace intended, its no race
BUT if ya wanna have fun ahead by all means, be safe and wait at Top, and again at Featherston turn off for head counts :clap:
A quick :apint:at MartinB and home again
I know- Fridays ya piss drinking night but the weekends set to shit out I thought why not :cool:
Nights still young at 1030 when the steeds are stabled :drool:

Weathers looking bad for tomorrow too-
Will re-post at 4 and 6 pm tomorrow to establish if its worth going
Not that I am bothered by rain, wind, or the hill, but all 3 at once aint much fun and this is a fun event not a survival test :sweatdrop :cold::angry:
Essentially if the wind warning signs are on before the hill its likely not worth the ride :crazy:

I will see if I can get permission to come, I don't think I'll be able to tho cause ive already booked the weekend for trail riding in the akatarawa's.
If anybodys interested, ive got an extra bike that someone can ride in with us on (the Mighty AG, it will go anywhere the XR does, and further). PM me if you're interested. Will be going in saturday morning, coming out sometime on sunday.
