Sat Aug 27th- Ride to Akaroa

[Sniper]

Hey all

Im planning a ride to Akaroa this Saturday so I can eventually see whats great about the road and hopefully meet some CHCH Kb's. Im not a fast rider so its more senic tour than a race.

Please let me know your interest.

(This is also to prove TonyB wrong, Im not just a ghost in the machine)

[vifferman]

Ooh! Ooh! Can I come?!?

Wish I could....

[TonyB]

Kewl! ..... just not sure if I can go....
Send a PM to Bren_Chch and ask him to send out the details to everyone on his email list. That way you'll get a biiig turnout.

Would like to have a big one but Im scared of large groups of people and sudden movements :chase:

[TonyB]

Is that because you have a sudden movement when confronted by a large group of people? :devil2:

[Sniper]

Highly probable hehe

oooo now that sounds messy :whistle:

hmm would luv to go, but i'm going bike hunting hopefully....

well yeah another thought.....maybe a testride to Akaroa.... :Punk:

[vfrboy]

Would like to go, but will be in Dunedin for rugby. GO THE ALL BLACKS. Will be real keen for any other rides though.

[Sniper]

So who's planning on coming?

[ben444]

I'd be keen.. but have to work.. I'll watch you ride past and all the other lucky bastards heading that way... I work in Halswall. I haven't done that road either but I hear good things about it.

I'm with Rashika on Sat looking for a new toy as well.......so if we manage to get a bike out will be there :devil2:

[Sniper]

Looks like I'll be on my own

[ben444]

How long a ride is it?? If i'm back by 1pm.. i'll tag along...

[TonyB]

Have you PMed Bren_chch to let him know? Trust me, if you ask, they will come.... well, arrive anyway. These posts are frequently missed because of the way the "New Posts" thing works, it doesn't show all the threads you haven't read, just the ones that have had a new post since the last time you were on. If you're online when the timeframe clicks over, all the new posts will dissappear.

If you want I can email Bren- just name a time and place

[Sniper]

Nah its Ok thanks Tony. It was just going to be a little Ticcki tour but I might head a different way now. Next time proberbly. Thank you though

[TonyB]

You must ride to Akaroa! You WILL ride to Akaroa! I command you! 'Tis the best road for 100k in any direction in which thy might chooseth to go...eth. Go forth and ride it! Make haste!

[Sniper]

Bugger, OK. I do not wish to awake the anger demon inside you, I shall go I tell you

[gav]

[Sniper]

Was bloody cold!!! But beautiful scenery and rain. I turned around half way there :(

I would love to meet up for some others for a ride. Im not a huge fan of riding distances by myself esp when Im not sure of the road.
