What about a regular weeknight ride/meet? (Ch-ch)

Saw a group of about six Harleys heading up toward the Christchurch Port Hills this evening. Who could blame them? Bloody nice night for a ride. Bet they're sat outside a pub as we speak (I'm home looking after my wee daughter).

Anyway, who'd be up for a regular, say, Wednesday evening ride / meet?

Cheers SDU.

I'd be keen for a regular cruiser ride. The wednesday night rides SDU mentioned seem to attract 30 to 40 bikes. Too big for me. I'd be happy to do something with a smaller group. I'm always up for a ride too Molly. PM me anytime.

Cool. I think that's what I was thinking really. Half a dozen or so bikes just heading out for a beer on a nice summer's evening.

No disrespect to the Burger King riders. I did go along to that once if I'm honest but felt like a right spare part. The group that particular night didn't seem very welcoming and just kind of huddled and talked amongst themselves. I waited until they all fired up then just f'ked off for a ride on my billy.

i would be keen for a small ride as well

**rosie631** · 28th November 2009, 10:36

Who is keen for this Wednesday then? Let's just make a time and place to meet.

**Molly** · 28th November 2009, 19:28

OK. Sounds good. I think you're north of the city Rosie? I'm in Huntsbury. We could pick somewhere kind of central I suppose. Somewhere where you can easily keep an eye on the bikes.

Any suggestions? What do you think jimichelle?

**jimichelle** · 28th November 2009, 20:21

sounds good im in beckenham but name a time and place and anywheres good for me

**Molly** · 28th November 2009, 20:39

My wife suggested the new Coffee Culture in Beckenham or there's always Zero's cafe near PMH.

**jimichelle** · 29th November 2009, 12:54

Coffee Culture in Beckenham sounds good havnt been to the new one yet what time

**rosie631** · 29th November 2009, 13:26

Beckenham ok for me too.

**laRIKin** · 29th November 2009, 13:52

Just as an idea.

B.B's Cafe at 199 Marshland Rd Shirley Christchurch.
It shares the Bunnings Car Park, so heaps of parking and you can sit out side.
You could park over a 100 bikes.
We, that is SDU and I stop in there at least once a week for a good coffee and the food is good as well.

Now it is Summer we have stopped in there after a ride on the way home as we can keep an eye on the bikes.

Thanks for that.

Would that cafe in Shirley suit everyone? I'm happy to go there. Looked at the new one in Beckenham and it's actually not that easy to keep an eye on the bikes.

I was about to start discussing a place to go for the ride but maybe we should play that by ear and decide on the night.

Anyway, after settling our wee daughter I'd be able to get there for about 6.45pm. If we said we'd set off about 7pm would that be OK with you? Just a wee, relaxed bibmble, stop for a beer / coffee whatever and maybe loop back. Might be nice to do this whilst we've the light nights and nicer weather.

Cheers.
