14 May Chch: Heathcote to Hill Top

**TonyB** · 13th May 2005, 16:05

Anyone keen for a run to the Hill Top (Akaroa road) on Saturday May 14?

It’s tricky for me to set a time, as I try to go when Zach (20 months) is asleep so that my wife only has to deal Lexie (3). It’s much easier to deal with one horror, so it keeps the peace. Zach usually sleeps after lunch, which would mean me leaving home in Heathcote at about 1pm. BUT, sometimes he sleeps in the morning, so I could be leaving at around 10am ish.
So, anyone keen to go for a ride that might be leaving Heathcote at 10am….or 1pm…ish….?

Having conferred with the boss, I have been given a pass for a couple of hours anytime Saturday. So whatever works out will be fine with me.

Yeh, went out last Saturday fairly early, and most of the good corners were still wet.

Wouldn't mind wobbling around Levels myself, but will have to wait.

Nah sorry, think you should go back to the drawing board

Shit - If I'd have read this post an hour earlier I would have said, "Hell yeah!". But I've just promised Ms B I'll crack on with the gardening.

Sunday?
