After years of successful events called "race to the sky" I think it's time we have the Welly equivilent.
I propose we stage the following event
"The 2006 Rimutuka race to the pie"
Each contestant will be given 10 minutes to ascend to the Rimutaka cafe from the Upper Hutt side bridge and eat as many pies as they can within the time remaining.
The winner will be the contestant that consumes the most pies before the 10 minutes is up. Each contestant will be able to nominate their prefered flavour, but each pie must comply to NZ standard in terms of size and weight/
A $10 entry fee should cover expenses.
Date as yet not set but would need to be before it gets too warm.

I dont think $10 is going to cover the expense of all your pies buddy.

So what you're saying is that given you'll never be the fastest to the top - you've geared it so you can win this by gorging yourself on pies?

Thats what he *thinks* I reckon that they'd be a few people who could give him a run for his money, so to speak... :blip:

How about you allow pie eating on the way to the summit also? Like a cross-training type of thing.

Its a shame that drink driving/riding is illegal. I'd have more chance if it was a beer drinking race..

I think it has great potential but needs to be more about the pies! So make it 15 minutes. Then a race down with a gut full of pies!

Of course racing on public roads without prior approval etc is illegal so this would be a hypothetical race, wouldn't it?

I agree, staging a 'Race to the Pies' on the Rimutaka Hill road is TOTALLY inappropriate and you lot should be deeply ashamed of yourselves..
It should obviously happen on the PIEkakareki Hill road...

Hmm - do it in the nude during a southerly and it could be a hypothemical race...

No, no, no... you need to smoke a few blunts first. Appetizer and all that.

Jims just scamming a feed. He's gonna take your money, buy the pies then eat them and scarper before you lot get half way up the hill.:nono:
Wasp

I'd pay $10 to see that M-T - only if everyone else chips in too and only if Jim eats ALL the pies we buy him before going down the hill.

Maybe we could all just put in some $$ and buy shit loads of pies and then we could all hide in the bushes wait for the grumpy blue 636 rider to come up the hill.... Then the person that hits him with the most pies wins, the prize will be had when we see the look on his face! AND we can eat the ones we dont get to throw at him.
BTW, this is a pisstake incase anyone thinks im being serious!

Oh, I like your stle Str8!!! :first:
I tell you what, since I'm flavour of the month with him, I'll even lead him up the hill, you see the older your bike is, the less permission you have to clean his clock. You could get extra points for getting a "pie in one" in his loud yelling mouth that way! :woohoo:
