The weather forecast for this Sunday is looking not too bad. Who would be interested in a ride?

With the high percentage of learners we have down here, how about a slow / medium paced ride, with plenty of stops for re-grouping?

Thoughts? Suggestions?

I'm still in Cromwell, but I'll be home tomorrow (Saturday), and I'm ready for a ride....

There's a hot-rod get together at Taieri Mouth Domain tomorrow, for those petrol head KBers in Dunners it could be a place to go for a ride.....

A quick follow-up ride report:

Myself (Virago 1100), Mrs V (Virago 250), Bigbadwolf (VT250 Xelvis), and ENDLES (Ducati Monster) met up for a quickie early afternoon ride. A rather eclectic mix of bikes and riders, but an enjoyable run down the Otago Peninsula to Portobello, then back to Dunedin via the high road. A delightfully long series of twisties, rewarded by the most stunning views of the harbour from the top road.

Thanks for your patience guys, during the frequent stops for Mrs V to catch up (a rather challenging ride for a newbie)!

We'll do it again soon eh?:2thumbsup

How about we go up to Palmerston and then on a loop round to Middlemarch and back on highway 87, up to fortification peak, and back through mosgiel to Dunedin? Dunno when, but will have a new (to me) ZXR250 by tomorow, so I'll be keen to do something.
