I am volunteering my time to accompany any new riders , or any riders in general that may want to spend an hour practise riding completing a left turning circuit of Stokes Valley. As an over view the route commences at the third street [ie Glen Road] on the left after you enter Stokes Valley, then with continuous left turns and u-turns all the way to the top end of Stokes Valley. From the top end it is a return to the valley entrance, rounding the round-a-bout re-entering the valley ...
Chris, Simon, Anton, and I left Duckpond and followed route across to coast then back up the inlet, when phone went off with text from HSVBoy - Simon, he was on his way from home to bottom of Paekakariki Hill - PH at SH1 to wait. We carried on from Pauatahanui village up to top of PH, few quick photos then on our way down the other side. Simon and William were waiting at the BP for us. So off we went down to towards Paremata turned onto Grays Road along inlet and straight back up ...
The enthusiasm through winter to contribute to the Where Did You Ride and What Did You Practise thread dropped off. So, as an initiative I decided to provide an opportunity for all riders and in particular new riders (in the Wellington region) to at least be able to look at the site Calendar and decide if they may want to participate in an group ride that has the route detail.

Dedicated to the memory of Uncle B. The enthusiasm to contribute to 'Where Did You Ride and What Did You Practise? dropped off through winter, and I want to keep the initiative so as not to let this blogg fade away. The following incentive has been put forward to encourage new riders to at least see and decide if they want to go on a ride that is posted in the calendar each week: BuckBuckNo1’s Spring/Summer 2007 - Weekend Morning Rides And Brunch The ...
Last Sunday, after spending most of the week in Masterton with my family, it was a lovely day and I felt the need for a blow-out, so I popped out to Riversdale for a coffee. Without really pushing it I got out to the beach in 28 minutes and went for a wee tiki tour / nostalgia trip to check out the old haunts. It's a very different place to where we used to holiday. I enjoyed a coffee at the shop, then realised I was supposed to be back for a family gathering in 20 minutes, so it was a fairly quick ...
This gentleman certainly seems to think so, for the slippers anyway. Maybe he left his pipe at home. This is a great example of how people here are pretty carefree with what they wear while riding - this fellow's gear could almost pass for pajamas. Rather than ATGATT, it's more like NGATT. On the other hand though, they don't go around crashing bikes anywhere near as often as Kiwis do, at least from what I can tell reading the forums here! ...
Now this is just getting silly. My mouse button finger slipped again and I bought another bike through an online auction. Only this time it was more costly and will probably cause me to sell most of the other bikes, if not all of them. At least now I can settle on one bike to take back to NZ. It's also nice to finally have a 'good' bike. Every other bike (or car for that matter) I have bought has been at least 14 years old, which makes them cheap to ...
