    Anyway ...... The ride on Wednesday!!!!!!!!!!

    BK, Halswell, Gebbies, round the bays to Port and either through the tube, or Evans Pass (depending on road conditions/light) to either Speights Ferrymead or The Twisted Hop.

    I intend to look at the route before and will check out Old Taitap Road while I'm near.
    And remember ...... if it hasn't got one of "Uncle Flip's" prosthetic kickers it isn't a real motorbike!!!

    I was on that road today, it is still a mess really. Quite a few cones marking spots where the road has moved up a little bit etc, rode over a bit of silt today too. Just not a smoothe ride at the moment.

    definatley ride-able but not a fast road.

    That must have been you i saw stooped on the side of the road today. I was in the car and the road was a bit bumpy. Mind you it helps when the driver of the car goes the right way around the cones.

    Went out to Lincoln on the bike and noticed a few bumps that hadn't been there pre quake.
