well! Last nights ride proved to be a challenge.
1. lost the rest of the group, they went one way and I went the right way.
2. rain made the road very slippery.
3. the road from J'ville to Makara has been chopped up and re sealed, but the surface is very uneven.

Combine the above with Ducky's useless cornering and the tightness of the curves out that way and I had some serious problems staying upright.
Sounds like Bryce on his chookchaser was the only one who didnt notice the conditions. Although he did mention his intention to make a note to himself to wear boots UNDER his trousers when it rains as he had water sloshing around in his gaerne's.

All in all a sucessful night from my perspective. challenging and everyone suceeded in the stated mission. Excellent!

Thanks to those who turned out on a soggy evening. See you next week.

So anyone going for a "scout" ride for the Tuesday night ride tomorrow? I'd love to go for another ride with someone....

Quite possibly. What's a 'scout ride'?

Sorry Anita, I've been meaning to call you to see if you wanted to go out. I've either been too busy or the weather hasn't wanted to play.

**Ratti** · 7th March 2011, 18:52

Sorry hon, had a friend turn up unexpectedly and spent the day shopping instead! ( priorities! )

I believe Bryce took everyone and played in the loose surface along the riverbank last week. havent heard anything contrary, so assuming it went well...Emilio????

If the weather holds, lets head up to the turbine tomorrow night. Who's up for hill starts?

cheers

Now that would be a good name for a bike "...announcing the new V-twin Honda Droll..."

BAck on topic - I might be allowed out to play tomorrow. Been a while since hill starts. Will be good to see how much oil my speed triple is burning.
