[James Deuce]

Not Just Wellington Either! Everywhere!

Mid-Week opportunity for a Wire Rope Barrier Protest Run, if you were feeling creative.

Anyone who says, "I ride my my bike to work every day anyway", and so help me.... Right to the Moon!

[Nasty]

I am so in for this :)

[James Deuce]

OI
You folks aren't going to bother then?

Come on, we have a broader issue in the works at the moment and anything that shows us using our bikes in a positive way is a GOOD thing.

See you on the road tomorrow.

[Trudes]

As I said in the other thread, I'm not working tomorrow, but I'll ride to my exam.

[James Deuce]

Somebody needs a hug.

Break a leg in regard to the exam.

[Trudes]

If you're offering Jim, I'm always up for a hug!! :hug: And thanks!

[Hawkeye]

I ride to work everyday so... 'Normal Service Continued'.

[Str8 Jacket]

Sadly I will be riding the train.......

[Bloody Mad Woman (BMW)]

It will take me longer to get my leathers on than to ride to work - but I shall do so.

[James Deuce]

You could... no shut up JIm.

[Freakshow]

Does a Scooter count???

[James Deuce]

Yes. Most emphatically.

Meeting for coffee/breakfast at Ark Cafe in Epsom if anyones around at 7:30'ish.


Ark Cafe
347 Manukau Rd
Epsom

Not a bad place to kick start the day, under cover parking and an awesome private car museum there as well.

I ride my bike to work every day anyway.

[riffer]

You've done it now John.

Jim's exploded. :eek5:

[Gremlin]

I ride my bike to work every day anyway.
yep... me too... but for you Jim, I'll make an extra special effort to ride it tomorrow :msn-wink:

[Weaver]

I ride to work everyday as well. But I think for this super special occasion I might wear my leathers.

[riffer]

A beautiful fine day predicted for Welly tomorrow folks.

NO EXCUSES.

[James Deuce]

I don't care about the regulars.

It's the lazy buggers I want out there on bikes.

"I can't ride a bike to work, it messes up my hair" - No one cares. They don't work with you to look at you.

"I don't want to leave my bike parked outside all day" - You're not a motorcyclist, you're a felching hairdresser.

"I don't want the people at work to know I ride a bike." - Sell it. We don't want to ride with you and your damn closet. Who knows what's in there.

"It takes too long to get the gear on and get changed at work." - Ride naked. I don't care. Just ride your bike to work for one day.

[flyingscotsman]

- Ride naked. I don't care.


Now there's a thought:gob:

[James Deuce]

Saw the usual suspects except for a 2-up Bandit.

Look outside!

Who's up for a ride at lunchtime, around the bays?

[aer0]

good to see a couple exrtas heading into down (i go from town to trentham)

i rode today even after my little episode with the dirt yesterday.


Jim2 - are you thinking a slow pased ride? i could come in from here to say hi

[James Deuce]

It'll be slow alright, it's all 50 and 70 km/hr around that way.

Meet at Freyberg Pool at 12:10 or so, leave at 12:15.

I haven't been into Wgtn for over a month, but coincidently I rode in today. Man, there were a lot of cars on the motorway - was it drive to work day, too?

[Bloody Mad Woman (BMW)]

You could... no shut up JIm.

Don't even go there - even with a 12kg weight loss - I'll compomise and wear a fishnet body stocking!! lol Yeah Right:Playnice:

[Bloody Mad Woman (BMW)]

What a fab day for riding - just Jim2 Aero and I went round the bays at the speed limit where possible - when not following very slow trucks or cars! Then had coffee. Late back but tell someone who cares - I don't. Very enjoyable interlude.

[James Deuce]

Thanks for coming along, I enjoyed the company and it was good to meet aer0 - even if he was a bit dented.

Wasn't the scenery spectacular?

[Nasty]

Now I am really sorry that I couldn't come .. was stuck at work .. working through a business case .. the weather is perfect and views fantastic out there.

[aer0]

yeah thanks for the ride Jim2 and BMW

was a really nice day, well worth coming out from the hutt :)

[Weaver]

Well i'm disappointed to say that I only saw one other bike on my ride to and from work. It was along the motorway between avalon and the haywards, and then it only turned out to be my brother :eek5:
