A group of us Wairarapa Riders were talking today, and decided to start our own Wednesday Night Ride for anyone who wants to go for a little blat and a stop at a pub. Anyone interested post any ideas where we could go etc. Will be a cruisy ride.. as I'm a bit of a slow poke.. just a warning. :) Also Weather Permitting... I'm a softy...

Meeting place: Gull in Masterton
Time: 6.30pm on a Wednesday Night

Will work out where to go when we met at Gull. But will prob stop at Gladstone Pub for a drink.

Will txt everyone as well if the ride is on - so if I dont have your cell phone number please pm it too me.

Suggest once you have sorted out the details regarding meeting times (not destinations) etc that you edit/update the first post with said details. Have a look at the TCWNR/TRTNR threads to see what I mean.

Depending on the start time, I would make the effort now and then to join in.

I haven't had a weekend at home (Palmerston) for well over 2 months now. My parents think I am living a secret life somewhere else. It's all good though have done 10,000km on my bike since I got it in march :D. Goodness I am rambling, and I said goodness.

With not too much effort we could organise the Wgtn TCWNR and the Wairarapa WNR to met up at a pub in Featherston now and then.

I used to do a tuesday nite ride and then stop at a pub....was a bit of a lonely affair lol...only usually 2 or 3 bikes...we used to meet up at parkvale hall [down from parkvale mushrooms...piss off down to martinborogh from there [or hill climb and pack to gladstone pub]..some times a quick blat to ferry pub or just go straight to the martinborogh hotel [peppers]...

but alas I hav no road bike now :(

Lissa! What a marvellous idea. Why does it have to be a pub though? Can it be a church on some nights?

THEN i am offering a Wednesday night ride to a church in the Wairarapa. First stop - the Gladstone Chapel then on to the Martinborough Municipal Church for the Elderly and finally, The Lake Ferry Church of the lost Disciples!

skelstar
31st December 2006, 13:42
Is there a Church of the Slow Disciples?

31st December 2006, 13:58
Yes, Reverend Mel is in charge of that one. *running out of thread before she reads this*.........

You're courting danger Elle. You might find poison in your muffins or something.

You guys need to organise a rendezvous place and time.

We were talking about that today over a soya milk latte at the Gladdy. Decided that meeting at Gull in Masterton is a gooder place as any. We can't be expected to talk about everything that is needed because our minds wander and there are many more interesting things to discuss.......like life and solving the world's issues!:yes:

Ronin

I hope you took notes

Lissa
31st December 2006, 14:37
Ok guys and gals and elle ;)... Ive changed the first post alittle.. until some more of us rapa bikers come on line and join in on the discussion. Ronin you missed out on some yummy country coffee today buddy!

Ok.. seeing as its a busy time of year and some people are not available tonight, lets start our Wednesday Night Ride next week. :)

3rd January 2007, 14:41
Eh, are you woosing out like me Lissa, cause it's:cold:?

soya milk latte at the Gladdy.

:puke: ..and to be honest, i have done something similar at the Gladstone Pub, but thats another story.....all i will say is....it involed me eating a whole bag of dried apricots.....:sick:

Ronin
3rd January 2007, 20:26
OK, So Lissa and I decided that "sod it it's cleared up, lets ride". So we Did. Was only a shortish ride but the weather cleared up nicely for us. Some nice man at The Gladdy gave us free food (last time I checked I didn't look skinny)

The end result:

Good ride

Fanatastic scenery (which I actually got to see for once)

1 Dead Sparrow

Half of worlds problems solved.

Looking forward to the next one already.

Lissa
3rd January 2007, 21:25
Was a good ride.. thanks Ronin! You other rapa people get ready for next Wednesday or else! :) Yep that sparrow tried to take on my GN.... GN of course won. And yea it was freaken cold, but the free food made up for it. :)

3rd January 2007, 21:38
I would love to join you if you do not mind the old codger floundering about way in the rear. If only I can get this damn bike sorted. Only steering head bearings and tyres to go - I thought. Today I discovered that the oil drain plug has been helicoiled and will no longer seal properly. :brick: Now to take off the sump cover and get it sorted.

Ronin
3rd January 2007, 21:43
More than welcome mate. How fast you think the GN is? :rockon:

How would you guys feel about heading south and meeting up with the Welly TCWNR ride?
We could meet at the top of the 'Takas? or at the Red Pub in Featherston or the Tin Hut? Just throwing the suggestion out there....

Could we please *not* go to the red pub in Featherston? If that guy tries to charge $5 for a Bundaberg Ginger Beer again, I think I'll probably torch his pubes.

Good question...."organising KB rides is like herding cats" to quote a KBer from up north.
I guess if we leave the duckpond around 630, it would take us 15-20min to get there(?) - I have never actually timed it - maybe someone else has and will enlighten us.
And I vote for the Tin Hut after the Hill, we have been there a few times and the food and prices were good.
Perhaps if you pm me yr cellphone no I can txt you as we leave.

Ok.. well seeing as you guys are leaving at 6.30pm, I think we Rapa group should meet at 6pm at Stellas, meet the guys at the top of the hill. Will txt kinje, ronin, elle etc to make sure they do turn up on time :)

Good ride tonight, really enjoyed it!! Weather is a cracker in the rapa! Hmm was alittle nervous on the hill, but turned out ok, except for that big truck I tried to run over on the way up. Good to meet the welly crew... well some of them, will get around to talking to more of them next time ;) Thanks for the invite sels1.... awesome!

You guys missed a good night... just me and Kinje (brent). He wanted to go to Castlepoint (never been there) but we decided to go to Tinui pub instead. Was nice ride, and nice friendly local people.... who (GASP) loved my GN.... hehe they even stood outside to look at it, think my bike has a fanclub... and they even came out to watch me (and brent ;)) ride off... we have to go back there again... maybe out next Wednesday Night Ride! Prices good too.. only $1.40 for a diet coke.. compared with $2.50 at the Gladdy.

Thanks Brent for giving me some advice about cornering and changing down gears... helped alot on the way back, I am sure I went alot a faster. And for sort of telling me off for passing that truck on double yellow lines :shutup:

You guys make sure you are there next week! :)

Dadpole
31st January 2007, 23:24
Of course they loved you at Tinui - "people from the outside world" type love.
Next time just listen and you will hear the banjo in the background. Tell Kinje to watch out for anyone who tells him he has "got a real purty mouth". :buggerd:

As soon as the money sucking lump (bike, not the wife) is out of dry dock, I will join you for a Wed. ride.

biggles1
1st February 2007, 05:56
Sounds like you're coming on real well,Mel (hehe that even rhymes). Sorry I can't do the Manfeild ride after all,but the March one should be good. If the weather ever behaves itself for a Wednesday ride on this side of the hill I'll come over for a run with you guys.

Kinje
1st February 2007, 16:28

Yeah, that was a pretty feeble attempt at telling you off. You got the general idea tho :nono:

Yeah, me neither!!! Only did 250kms today (thats only half what I did yestersay) so definately need to do some more tomorrow :Punk:

Ok Brent (the ringleader) me and elle have decided to have a photoshoot
one of these days.... cause we want to have photos of us riding our bikes... we dont think that that is anyway vain of us. We will be setting up a bracket to keep our bikes on a lean so we look like we are going around a corner, when in actual fact we are not moving... I hopefully will get my pegs down. Maybe Mr Kendog could take some piccys of us going up and down the hill, we will of course pick out the best ones. Also thought maybe doing a bikini shoot wouldnt be ideal.. so dont even ask! Brent is orgainsing this one!! Good on ya!

Well I might do the ride for life if the weather isnt crappy up north way, I am not too confident in the wet. If it is, was thinking of riding up the hill.

ps - it might be raining, just means it gets muggy :(

HAHA Rye doesnt mind you Lissa but she adores Trudi for some strange reason. I think i need to get her back into therapy HAHA

Lissa, whatever you are doing and wherever you are heading on Saturday I am in - but we would have to leave about 9, 10 at the latest because Jens is home and we have people over for dinner and apparantly its not cool to buy fish n chips for guests!

Wed weather: Increasing fine spells. Southerlies dying away.

Meet up at 6pm Stellas? Although I can do 5.30pm if you guys are keen. Riding to... not sure atm, but will bring my camera.

Full moon on the 4th March... so if you guys want to do that night ride up the takas at some stage, I'm sure it would be bright enough Thursday/Friday onwards?

The Weather looks bloody awesome from Thursday to Saturday!! :sunny:

hehe.. we have that documented.... Poms fault!! I thought last Thursday was windy... but tonight that took the cake, good practice though, pity we didnt stay longer up the hill, but Poms bike wasnt safe from the wind :shutup:

Good to catch up, thanks for helping me make the decision to come out elle... was fun, lets go to the Istanbul next time ;)

elle-f
8th March 2007, 04:10
Yep, I am keen on the Istanbul. Isn't it funny that the flashest most expensive bike was the one that the wind wouldn't leave alone:laugh: He needs to get himself a black bike like ours!

Kinje - I missed ya tonight. Sorry to hear about the bike issues.....however, get them bloody sorted before next Wednesday will ya.

8th March 2007, 09:12
next time we go up the hill i'm buying a kite-don't . good to go cruising and feel the wind in your hair while your holding onto your bike for dear life hahaha.black bike would suit me somehow, good news is that i don't have to tap-dance
great night

Kinje
8th March 2007, 15:27
Yeah, I'm sad I missed the ride last night.

Took it into Langlands this morning and turns out I overheated and warped my front brake discs at trackday. Hopefully they will get the bits quickly and get me back on the road for next wednesday, preferably well before actually.

I was really hoping to get up there and play tonight but no... And my friend _intense_ is back up and running since being off for about 4-5 months and I can't go play!!!
