Anyone keen to meet up for a Welly ride this weekend? Im not too sure what the weather is doing this weekend so if someone could please enlighten me that'd be awesome!
I was thinking about going over the Takas on Sat or Sun and then maybe furthur a field, riders of all pace welcome, however im a slower paced rider...

What do you guys reckon? Anyone keen? Can anyone suggest a better destination than Martinborough?...

I take it by "better", you mean different?

I may be up for a free pass this weekend. We should have a coffee sometime this week and talk about some destination ideas.

Could well be keen for a ride depending on the weather.

I don't think anyone knows what Welly weather is going to do or if the weather itself knows what it wants to do.

Yeah, your right there. I thought i'd at least attempt to organise something in the vain hope that it'll be OK.... if worse comes to worse i'll have to bring out my 'Anti-rain-dance'.

Lake ferry is where I ended up last time I went for a ride with you guys. Had planned on going anyway. That was awesome, real nice pub. Also got blown around heaps down there.

Hi there - I'd like to come along on your next group ride! I am, however, a "slower paced rider"... I would say yes for this weekend, but I don't really need ANOTHER excuse not to study for my exams (4th & 5th July - eek!)

I'll keep an eye out for the next event.

I used to live in the first house on the right (heading to Lake Ferry) past the Ngawi turnoff. Me Ma has a pic of me holding the AA signpost after some dudes wasted their car and the sign one night. (True story)

Should be fine i reckon, Unc B showed me this site http://www.metvuw.com/forecast/forecast.php?type=rain&region=nzni

I prefer it to metservices crap cos i dont understand all their wavy pointey triangle lines.

My left indicator got wacked by the door or somehting yesterday while it was parked in the work garage, the thread has ripped out of the stalk and its just sitting there drooping, im not in a good mood about it either, its the first time the bandit has been damaged AND I DIDNT DO IT!!! ARGHHH!

Cool, OK what day should we go? Sat or Sun? I dont mind so majority will rule...
Ah bummer about your indicator dude! Glenn made a mounting for my right indicator out of Knead-it and spray painted it black. That was in Sept 05 and its still doing its job....

Thanks for your valuable contribution Tristan :nya: Lucky we aint riding on Friday eh?!

Cheeky bugger. I'm just sick of the rain

Looking at Wasps website both days actually look ok. I'm all keen for either day. If Saturdays nice then we should go on Saturday for fear of Sunday turning out "normal". Of course, this doesn't work for everyone. Some people have lives, unlike me.

EDIT: Sorry, just a bit bitter. Works been pissing me off a bit lately

mmm i dont think kneed it will work, if you think of my head light (the bright circle thing), there is a bracket either side of it and the indicator stalk looks like it bolts thru the braket and im guessing is bolted on the inside of the headlight.

im gonna have a good look at lunch, just gotta convince a workmate to let me borrow his socket set. im hoping some super glue up the stalk should fix it though, if not itll be time for the EMERGENCY BLACK ELECTRICAL TAPE!!! duh duh dummmmm.....

Yes it is!

Defeatism is acceptance of defeat without struggle. In everyday use, defeatism has negative connotation and is often linked to treason and pessimism, or even a hopeless situation such as a Catch-22. The term is commonly used in the context of war: a soldier can be a defeatist if he or she refuses to fight because he or she thinks that the fight will be lost for sure or that it is not worth fighting for some other reason. The term can also be used in other fields, like politics, sport, psychology and philosophy. The term originates from France during World War I.
