Yes these rides are mainly intended as a social event, but yes they we're always intended to be "newbie friendly". Taking it too far like Kaikoura or turning the ride into a race was never the intention. It's called the Weds Night Cruises for a reason. Not everyone wants the same thing in a ride however. In Wellington we had the "Cruisy Weds Night Ride" and the "Real Thurs Night Ride". Maybe it's time we had a split. It doesn't mean people can't go to both, just expect a different pace/intensity.

What another split, the horror, the humilation, the the, ahh wtf I am with you on this one.

We had a Thursday night called the nana rides, (which they wernt always), our good friend Shrek moved and these have not been held in a while perhaps someone could revive the idea. If you guys want to arrange a ride to Kaikoura or anywhere else perhaps and this is just an idea here start a thread and post a link in this thread, lets keep this one for what is was intended, about the rides it states in the first post. Oh and the obvious humor that gets added in here.

Completely random but i remember driving along the motorway in Nelson (what there is of it) and i was driving a fair click and i got overtaken by a dude on a Vespa who hummed past me! i was very surprised at how fast he had the little thing wound up. I don't know what model it was but it was painted in Italian racing colours and was screaming like a high revving 2 stroke, i even thought "i got to get me one of those!"

I did try to revive the Thursday night ride, as marked by this thead here.

I had one wicked ride with Peeteey and Cruza, but then they sort of died off with my RGV's engine.

Once it's run in again I'll be more than happy to start them up again, not that it couldn't be done by other people.

**maxf** · 13th January 2010, 12:26

May be MIA tonight - got shanghaied into doing a deck at home & probably best to do it while not raining!... Take care whichever way you're going.
