ChCh ride & BBQ 6/11/2005-Ashley Gorge

[Suzi Q]

Looking at having a ride to the Ashley Gorge and then a BBQ there. This is actually being organised through my work and we are looking at charging $10 per person to provide the BBQ with Sausages, bread, marge and sauce and maybe softdrinks as well.
Everyone welcome :sunny:

[TonyB]

Yeh I could be keen. Might even throw MrsB on the back.
Who's going to carry the barbeque :apumpin:

[gav]

Well, Dangerous could tow a trailer with that tractor of his! Of course, he might get "lost" getting there..... :whistle:


10, 9, 8 ......

[branco]

[Suzi Q]

alright if i come over from westport


Of course - will fill you in on more details closer to the date :niceone:

We will organise someone in a car with a trailer!!! :niceone:

[dangerous]

alright if i come over from westport
Yes you can.............. BUT Gav can not :finger:

Yeah I'd be keen.... SuzyQ, is that with the peops on bikes from your work?

[Jamiepo]

Hopefully I will have my bike and all of my gear by then. It'll be my first group ride out on the road. Looking forward to it!!! YAY

[laRIKin]

What time is this going to start up? Suzi Q.
Sal has a gap between shifts, so we may well be in.
So we can get 2 more tractors there.
But we will not follow DD there, as we will only get lost. :nya:
And we can be at the wrong pub by our self's. (we do not need help):drinkup:

Rik

Well I would lead the way so that doesn't happen as his sense of direction is pretty much non exisitent, but everyone behind me would get asphyxiated by the amount of smoke and shit that comes out the back of my bike :yes:

[Suzi Q]

Yes you can.............. BUT Gav can not :finger:

Yeah I'd be keen.... SuzyQ, is that with the peops on bikes from your work?


Yes it is, just in the planning stages at present. :spudwave:

cool... then we wont need a drink when we get there :brick:

That w/e is also the Nelson rally w/e :apint:

[Sniper]

I'll turn up........

[TonyB]

I'll turn up........ maybe with a new bike :whistle:
Whatwhatwhat??? Would you care to elaborate on this?

[Sniper]

Hey, you are putting words in my mouth

[TonyB]

Hmmm, edited your post eh? Something tells me that a certain young lady is not yet aware of your evil plans..

[Sniper]

You would be right there. The CBR will be kept though.

[Bren_chch]

mmm yum a BBQ, count me in x2!

[TonyB]

mmm yum a BBQ, count me in x2!
you eat eat enough for two people? No wonder you got so fat...

[Bren_chch]

oi... i'm a slim 90kg! :calm:

[TonyB]

oi... i'm a slim 90kg! :calm:
But what were you, hmm? :whistle:

[Sniper]

Lol, Im less than Bren

[Bren_chch]

101 - 102kg... i'll be 85 in about 6weeks time, then 80 in about 13 weeks time!

:psst:

[Sniper]

Jesus, light as a sparrows fart then.

[onearmedbandit]

Hey, what does that make me then, all 73kg of me. Mind you the word 'tall' is not one you'd use to describe me. Ahhh, the benefits such as no sore wrist(s) or lower back after a decent ride.

[onearmedbandit]

Oh yeah, if I can get the time off I'll be there, missus will probably come to. However it is all dependent on time off, and if this ride with TonyB happens that'll be twice this year I've been riding with members of KB, I must be approaching my annual limit.

[k14]

101 - 102kg... i'll be 85 in about 6weeks time, then 80 in about 13 weeks time!

:psst:
13 weeks aye, I'll race ya. See who can get to 64kg's the fastest. I'll probably not have a shit till tomorrow so you got just under 24 hours :rofl:

[Kickaha]

you eat eat enough for two people? No wonder you got so fat...

He's the guy they wrote the song "who ate all the pies" about :lol:



oi... i'm a slim 90kg! :calm:

I think his scales read way light

[SpeedyGirl]

I'm in and happy to bring my car :lol: so can carry whatever and I have a towbar :spudwave:

[gav]

Ah...there seems to be a problem with bikes in ChCh..... they all lean to the right... and fall over :motu:

[Sniper]

No they don't, they just hate gravel. :niceone:

Could it be that you are lopsided in some way? Does your cup runeth over on one side?

I know I know :eyepoke:

[Huntaway]

Hi Suzi Q
I live about 5 minutes from Ashley Gorge so if you need someone on the spot to help give me a call. :)

[SpeedyGirl]

I know I know :eyepoke:

:bleh:
Might be..... i think i may have a short leg... that might be the problem :whistle: actually thinking about it... certainly is the problem, couldn't possibly be me :rofl:

[Suzi Q]

Looks like we will be ditching the BBQ and just having a ride as lots of people not able to make it, but still keen for a decent ride. Will update on Wednesday after lunchtime meeting to hash out start time, meeting place and actuall direction!!!

Well bugger it all Suzy.... lets all go to the NELSON M/C RALLY then, I'm keen :headbang:

[Skyryder]

You need to get a Guzzi. That comes with the territory.

Skyryder

[Suzi Q]

Right - details are - meet at Yaldhurst Pub carpark at 11:30am on Sunday, go through both gorges - Waimak then Ashley and then end up at Robbies bar in Rangiora. No BBQ - sorry speedy girl but you can join us at Robbies. :done:

[TonyB]

Hmm, so it's back on again then, minus the BBQ. Not sure if I can do this one. Will have a think.

[dangerous]

yip sorry I'm out, got family shit going down :drinkup:

[Bren_chch]

Count me in!

:sunny:

[gav]

Sorry this Sundays out, heading North (Wgtn) to pick up something big and red, sailing into Picton and then whizzing down the coast, hopefully.

[Monsterbishi]

It's times like this I despise being a weekend shift worker...

[Sniper]

Sorry, Im out too, gotta work.

[Jamiepo]

Hey is it all still on for tomorrow? Just making sure as I would hate to be the only one waiting at the Yaldhurst tavern.

[Bren_chch]

is the Yaldhurst tavern just past that garage on the way to west melton?

[Jamiepo]

Not 100% sure which one you mean, but there is a small 100 km piece of road just out of CHCH (down Yaldhurst RD) then drops back to 80 (or maybe 70) and thats where the tavern is I am pretty sure it has the sign on it anyway. Where are you leaving from I am in on Riccarton road in upper riccarton so if you are going past we can start the convoy early.

[Bren_chch]

ok i think it must be where i think, i'm coming from halswell, so cut over to yaldhurst road and then up to that roundabout with the garage on it and straight over that, then i think the tavern is up there a bit.

see u there around 11.15 :niceone:

[Thunder]

Yaldhuirst Pub is just before the tuirn off to Ruapuna - just after Pound Rd. Yaldhurst rd runs into West Coast6 Road just before the Pub. :psst:

[Suzi Q]

If it rains before I get ready then I am not going. Can cope with the rain during the ride but won't willingly go riding in the rain!!! :sunny:

[Jeff da maori]

stop being soft!! shit I've riden the desert road when it was snowing

[Suzi Q]

stop being soft!! shit I've riden the desert road when it was snowing


I am allowed to be soft-I'm a girlie!
Are you comin g on the Falco? :sunny:

[Suzi Q]

Weather conditions are wet roads, cold, possible rain. :crybaby:

[Kickaha]

stop being soft!! shit I've riden the desert road when it was snowing

Doesn't mean you're not soft, could possibly mean you're stupid though :lol:

I am missing a set of carbs so I'm a no show (see I'm soft to)

[Suzi Q]

Sorry Guys the ride is officially cancelled, but you are welcome to go without me!!! Too damp and cold for me, it is starting to rain at my place, and I want to actually enjoy myself. pity it is not like yesterday weatherwise. :blink:

[Jamiepo]

Thats odd cause here at Church Corner the weather is actually starting to break, got patchy blue sky and all, sposed to clear up a bit closer to lunch. I bet that by 11 it will be nice and fine

[Bren_chch]

oh well who wants to go to akaroa instead then... its sunny with broken cloud in halswell at the mo... if anyone wants to join me i'm leaving at 12 from the halswell new world car park... unless it starts to rain lol :spudguita

[Jamiepo]

Well if the ashley gorge trip is out I am a starter for akaroa, I am pretty sure its gunna clear up anyway, can anyone tell me what road the New world is on (Lincoln maybe???).
I don't know my way around over that side of the track very well.

[Bren_chch]

yeah cruise up lincon and it turns on to halswell road, go past mcdonalds which will be on your right, go past the hillmorten shops which will be on your left, thru the lights... you'll come to an 80kph zone, keep going, past BP then take the next right and then left in to the carpack, cant miss it, i'll be down by the liquer king i think it is called!

[Bren_chch]

i'm getting ready... who's coming?

[Jamiepo]

[Bren_chch]

[Jamiepo]

[dangerous]

[Jamiepo]

Jeff, we were kinda hoping that you could be in charge just in case it rains, then we can blaim you!! Nah but seriously we were thinking after magpie madness, That way I will have time and (money) to get the bike in tip top condition

[Rashika]

That would be perfect for me, altho saturdays in dec are out for me...a few school days to be done then, but sundays would be beaut. Haven't been up that way on a bike for years, used to know the road really well in a car at least. Would go over every month to visit my folks in Moana.... be very nice to do it on the bike :niceone:

[Jamiepo]

Well for the moment I will submit the 26th or 27th, I am in no way incharge or organising this but it just sounds like a good date to me (so it won't be my fault if it rains!!). Still 3 weeks away so there is plenty of time to organise (not that it takes a lot to get ready :) ) Basically I wanna go ASAP but repairs and Magpie madness means I will kinda be out til then. Whats everyone elses opinion??

[Bren_chch]

your going to have to change your avatar, those tits are hypnotic, keep finding myself staring at them!

anyhow those dates are ok for me. cheers

[Jeff da maori]

think we'll get more people on a sunday ride.
The bouncy tits must stay!!!!!!! ;)

[Disciple]

I would be keen for the 27th as well. Not the most skilled rider, but always keen. Just glad to see some CHCH gatherings.... would be good to met up with some of you.

:niceone:

EDIT: Is this for an offroad meet? :blink: Just looking back and seems most of you are street riders...:doh:
