Kapiti Weekend Rides

[Cloggy]

Funny that.
I am sure we all went to the same windfarm but this can't have been the case.
The windfarm I went to all the turbines were spinning. In the pics Katie took they are all standing still.

wish i followed you now cloggy we didnt get back till 8.30 (eugene took a wrong turn and found gravel and i decided what the heck lets just keep going)

You should know better of Eugene and his "detours"
Wouldn't be the first time he's found gravel.
He does take you some awesome places though and he certainly seems to know his way around. (most of the time).

[Big Col]

Fantasic day everyone. I got home at about 6.30 and am absolutely knackered.

What a beautiful day it turned out to be up north huh? The heavens opened up for me as I headed over the Haywards back home. There were two accidents too which slowed things down a little.

But a great days riding. Some really good roads up that way, and stunning scenery. Just loved the wind farm... could feel the "air in my hair"!

Great riding, first class company, and one very very dirty bike for me to clean tomorrow.

But tonight, I now have a very hot date with a bottle of wine, popcorn and a movie.

Have added some photos - not too clever so am sure I would have stuffed that up somehow. Thanks everyone, what a bloody fantastic bunch you all are!

Hey Team - what an awesome ride. Was great to see the turn out inspite of the weather trying to put us all off at the start. I most envious of stage two - its a great wee ride, and even tho the Tui is almost my local i never been there.

Monsta and I met up with another gorgeous Monsta and we spent the afternoon doing what all sensible Monstas do

A great ride, for those that stayed home, should have been there guys,and to those that were there what a neat group of people, met some new faces,the regular crew are a great bunch to ride with,caring, funny and human,thanks Cam for organising a great ride and to the rest of the crew thanks for a fantastic day.

Second that - Thanks heaps Cam for getting us all sorted and out riding. Much appreciated. Nice space suit too! Hope you can squeeze in one more ride before you bugga off and leave us all. Hope you know that we all take it personally, and think that we must smell.

But yes, thank you. We are all going to miss you and Busa

Hey, thanks for that Graham and Katie, my pleasure to herd the cats and organise a ride when we can. It has been an absolute blast being back down In Wellington and meeting so many fun and funny social riders! I have loved it and am sad to leave you all behind.

I will try to get in a short coffee and cake ride before I go north.

wish i followed you now cloggy we didnt get back till 8.30 (eugene took a wrong turn and found gravel and i decided what the heck lets just keep going) I am sure Eugene will post up exactly what we did at some stage...but it was a good ride...im pretty sure that is the fastest speed my bike has stayed at for a while (pushed my limits abit but it was good ) thanks all

Hey Vanessa - great to have you on the ride with us and you did really well, flying along behind us as though you been doing it forever. Well done

Gravel - Eugene - lost - it sort of goes without saying that this was going to happen?

You have a naughty mind Cam

[Darryn]

Wow another great turnout considering the circumstances and weather
Thanks Cam for bringing it all together and providing a another excuse to get out
What a great stop at Manfield track to watch some motor racing
Always enjoy the Saddle Road and could never bring myself to be put through the torture of that George
Also like Katiepie enjoyed the wind blowing gentle through my mohawk at the windfarm (I'm still working on my head-flick after first removing my helmet but practice does make perfect)

Thanks also to Eugeine for the back roads leading to the Tui Brewery Cafe

Great Cafe and always have been past it but never stopped
Was I the only one who ordered a dish only to see someone elses different dish come out and wish I had ordered that (Cam's pancakes with bacon)
Also hit the rain on the way home but hay its always great to give the gear a wash anyhow

Thanks all for the company, smiles and laughter
Catch ya all at the next one

Man, It sounds like I missed out on a good ride.

I had a bit of a windfall in a poker game Friday night and then went out and got a lil tipsy (Read Drunk)
Woke the next morning and knew I was in no condition to ride.

Damn top shelf!!!

[sinfull]

Was a bit slow out the gate, but got out there in the end, missed you lot at manfeild but met up with my kids to watch a few races ! Stayed for one too many (could see the crap rolling in again) and met the rain in woodville, couldn't be arsed stopping to drag the wets out, so was a little damp on arrival to my destination in Pahiatua ! But by the time i passed out at 5 am i was well warm lol
Rocked home through fog firstly and then rain from shannon south yesterday feeling like doing it all again lol !
Good call to go ahead on saturday Cam, was bloody surprised how quick the weather changed from crap to brilliance !

Was planning to join you guys but got given free tickets to the wine and food fest at the stadium and as I had family on one of the stands thought Id better put in an appearance. Getting in for free was one thing, getting without spending $ was a whole different matter!
