South Auckland Street Skills

I can make it at 6. But only if all of us can make it then. Otherwise we can leave at 7.

The usual ride plan sounds good, but I can't lead, I'll get everyone hopelessly lost. Lol.

6 is OK by me.

Its about time I did some leading (astray i would think and harden some balls)

I would also like to do some more TEC, enjoyed the TEC last trip (even though I had not much to do) It was interesting the styles used by the fellows in front.


Yes we could do the Maraetai loop or we could go longer, we can decide on the night.
If the new kid on the block arrives we can discuss what he would like to do. Because we currently dont know much about him, his ability (mine sucks) etc.

How does that sound?

[Kartik]

Sounds good to me. See you guys at 6 tomorrow.

[nzspokes]

Still wanna aim for 6? We can make it the usual 7pm otherwise..?



More the merrier!



Feel free to come along. Neither Sis nor nzspokes will be there, who are both the people that 'officially' run SASS. I'm just wanting to get out riding whilst still on break.

Open to suggestions on where to go also. If it'll be the four of us I'll still be keen for the usual Maraetai, Sandstone, Regis Lane route. The regulars should be familiar with this route too so we can take turns leading.

I don't officially run nothing. I just turn up and talk crap.

Im currently in a tent in Rotovegas working out what MTB trails to hit tomorrow.

you dont talk crap

hit all the trails you can, take the longer ones early, shorter ones later.

The Redwood forest is nice - should be cool in the shade.

Take some Witch Hazel if its pine pollen season for the eyes (trust me I know)

Nice photos aws. Will have to remember that one next time I'm never in Invercargill..

I am tempted ..........even though the tractor should be resting.

You know you wanna come along. Now that it's not an official SASS outing you can finally show off those wheelies you keep bragging about.

Sweet as. The usual 7 it is then.

I'm pretty sure you're at least second-in-command.

Let me know if you find any good ones. I'm hopefully heading down those ways close to Waitangi Day.

I've signed up for ART finally too. Group 2 for me this time. Fingers crossed there isn't as much traffic and I can actually keep up.

[kiwi-on-wheels]

i'll do my best to be there around 6, depends if i can get away from work at a reasonable time. working shutdowns suuuucks lol.

my experience on a bike, maybe 10 - 12 hours seat time, had the bike for 3 weeks tonight

Invergigill its a nice town forgotten by most.
wheelies and the stoppies by horseback you mean

i will be there at 6, fueled and empty bladder as usual. Just goto put the bike back together. And get some fuel. Put the cleaned liner in. Lots of tasks to finish tomorrow , all good.

Kiwionwheels we we usually gather by the car washing machine.

what ever time everyone makes it will be fine, will wait till 7 if need to.
confirm trip when you get there. Would prefer longer trip, but it will be determined by your experience. I ant no instructor.

See you there, just a pootle.

it will be slow, you are way ahead of me when i started, but then i am overly cautious too.

see you there.

[Kartik]

I should also be getting there by 6pm. Happy to wait for the others to turn up before we leave.

[f2dz]

Sweet, 6 it is! See you guys there.

[eldog]

now we will wait for Kiwi_on_wheels to see what time he arrives after shift work.....

lets see who turns up , back at work on the 5th, back to the long shifts again, bugger - no SASS for me then.

[jeeron]

I`ll pop around as well, keen to see some more of the nz roads and meet some other folk. Z Takanini I assume it is

Yes, its the same location as SASS meets. Z Takanini - corner Taka street and Great South Road Takanini

Look back for Tigadees post on SASS rides. He gives more info. Unlikely we will do the carpark, just a gentle ride (we dont have split balls)

F2dz is in 'control' of this one as he asked for it.

Remember it isnt a 'SASS' ride, but 'members' of SASS will be there, and it isnt a race. I feel like a slow pootle, its been a while since I rode.

Although you might like to step on it if your coming from the Netherlands and yes I have a dark side

Ok, I'll take 'control' as you say, but also as mentioned this is just a ride for those who want it. We'll be taking it easy and just enjoying the sun.

This is the route I reckon we should take: http://tinyurl.com/khrs6kg

I can lead from the start but the route should be fairly familiar for the regulars so someone else should be able to take the lead halfway along or so.
