General Bike Ravings

Went along to the gathering at Auckland Museum and joined the 15 or so riders for the ladies run.

Hey I didn't get your names but as promised I've put the pics up of your group from the ACC protest ride last Tues. A good bunch of young fellas, it was neat that you guys were involved and dab handy at slow riding with the traffic.

Yes it would have been great to see more riders but mind you... it only took 4, yes 4 bikes to actually slow down and in some places STOP the north western motorway traffic. This group managed to 'lead' the two lanes of traffic from Te Atatu to Westgate at 35-45kph then continued through to Kumeu at 50-55kph with traffic in tow. So ...

What an awsome day! Great weather, great route, great bike and great mates!

After Grub’s tragedy on this ride last year and the problems encountered with nearly half the field not completing, we had to go back to the drawing board to address our route setting along with other improvements to make the day easier to run.

Cheers Sam



P.s would rather look like a big , than a and I also find cars move out of my way when I wear my current hi vis vest

Ok I am happy with the look ( sort off)
