Remember it's going to be dark on the way home. Tinted visors are not a good idea. This is probably the last time we're going to Duvauchelle this season!!

Looking like I might be lucky enough to make it for this one.
Are you actually planning to going all the way to the Blue Duck corner or turning earlier on Millers Rd as we get off Gebbies Pass?
Rest of the map looks good to me, although I'll be quite tempted to take the shingle short cut from Cooptown to the Hill top.

ummm sorry about the wrong turn at the sign of the kiwi (or lack of turn actually) last week. I have checked out the map this week lol. And since we are not doing the summit road (big bumps with a pilion is hard on the bladder) i wont need to stop for an emergancy slash at govners bay (sorry chaps but when ya got to go ...) lol

Thank goodness you didn't do that at the Sign of the Kiwi, us photographers would have had a wonderful (????) photo op!

Looking forward to this, fingers crossed the weather holds!

Ohh yes me too!!

Damm! wrong bike sheesh

**Spuds1234** · 10th March 2010, 15:57

Wont be there tonight. Dont have a working speedo (Good for the resale value of the bike when it comes time to sell it assuming its fixed).

Aren't new bikes supposed to be reliable?

Might see you next week *Crosses fingers*

Have a good one guys.

**Ducky848** · 10th March 2010, 20:10

Yay, back before it got too dark...

I'm an idiot for taking a tinted visor.....

yeah I left 10mins after ya, got dark rather fast, mind you the bug splater and smoke from the fires on the plains didnt help.

Oh and why does that bloody Buell brake every time I ride it... Helen you cursed it by calling it a Itialian bike

**Ducky848** · 10th March 2010, 21:05

the burn offs at TaiTapu looked rather stunning in the dusk light...and the smoke was no worse than following an RGV through Lyttelton :-)

**gloplg** · 10th March 2010, 21:06

Good ride tonight. Did anyone count the numbers tonight???

Anyone for the Greta Valley next week???

great ride everyone, thanks to buddha who pointed out my rear tyre was a bit flat....missing 10psi...was a bit wobbly.

i escorted E Ashmore home too...was funny watching the wind gusts slowing him down.
