Longer than normal i guess but everyone should be able to cope with the ride and if anyone wants to practice a little night riding some of us could head back the way we came after dark rather than just heading down the main road.

Got my vote for loburn/ashley nice wee run , could even scoot back across the gorge and back via old west coast road. Plus it would give the 4 or so rangi/oxford riders a break from there long wed commutes into town.
Of course akaroa is always good......

Fark be nice if some of the ranting will stop , gets a tad tiring reading it . maybe better if ya just did it via PM etc.

I could be in for this as I'm still got a bit of lumpy fuel in the new girl.

She cleaned up real well, pity I rode her in the rain.

Very nice.
Must be a later model as I dont see any oil leaks...

Nice bike LaRIKin.

I don't care where we go provided I can have a beer, some dinner and a chat on the way.

I usually like to ride the most tight windy roads on my hyperdrive hogtard warp speed Roadking, guess I am just a fustrated sports bike rider. The Lowburn loop will be a nice ride. It would be nice if we regrouped in the Lowburn-Ashley corner as I dont know this road at all well.

Are you talking about the three ton truck you usually ride?????

It looks as though Oxford is going to be the popular vote.

Dave!!!! Are you back on the road???? Are you a starter for this week???

KP is your bike off the road?? There are spare pillion seats.

I don't really care either, but you can add a couple more bends for those that don't like the straight bits if you go to cust via german road and summerhill
