cold tyres on van......

[ajturbo]

i do hope you guys will start a bit earlier when the weather warms up......
cause when the buell is back, it really does not like "short" trips....

it only likes the longer ones...

(read..... AJ too scared to stop once he gets going..)

But we all have to attend church in the morning which is why we can't get out until 12:30

[James Deuce]

Pfffffft.

Best time of day up there in Summer is 7:30-8:30 am. Might have to wind it back an hour this year, thanks to Yellow Line Man.

You can leave early, have morning tea in Pahiatua and be home for a late lunch and still get some chores done, then have a BBQ.

That's a Sunday.

None of this rotting in bed stuff.

Sheesh.

[StoneY]

If only my parental responsibilities were as simple as rotting in bed- sigh its so easy for some

[James Deuce]

That's an excuse.

It's all about the brownie points.

Morning James. How you doing. Up to usual stirring I see Are we going to see you on any of the rides this year? This is a good crowd of people who are not interested in using the hill as a race track. This is purely a social ride with around 6-7 like minded individuals. Try coming along and judge for yourself. You may be pleasantly suprised. And yes I agree, getting up there early is the best option but unfortunately, not everyone has the same flexibility.

It's not "flexibility", I'm lucky enough to have married someone who isn't two dimensional about familial responsibility, plus I know when not to disappear.

In my case James mine allows me to disappear anytime I like- shows in the tag stats- but sadly Sunday Mornings are always the 'kids' so that's life.(mine anyway)

Back when I got the duke I went to Castlepoint at Dawn to get pix like these- left at 4am and rode over 150kms of cowshit covered crud roads in the dark and wet to fluke a sun break at sunrise -

Its not lack of willingness man its real world commitment to life

See all the cow poo on my bike? lol


See you on the hill if you come along dude

On the other hand. Some people just want to spend time with their kids rather than taking off on what is, let's face it, 'self indulgence'.
Everyone had different priorities Jim. If everyone was the same, life would be boring.

Sounds to me like you have your priorities pretty sorted to me. Nothing is more important than family.
