    At least 3 of us experienced front tyre slip on the new bit of seal at road works at the bottom of Gebbies...

    On arrival at Lil' River, I was surprised to see that the smaller bikes were already there with riders sheepishly looking quite pleased with themselves as they waited for the slow mob to show up. I'll bet they had a good giggle about it at the pub.

    Nice to see the girls out... Nights starting to get cooler & darker...

    Yeah, that new patch of seal on Gebbies is pretty slippery, I had some wheel slip going up last night, and also going down on Sunday's ride.. definitely a good idea to take it a bit easy over that section until it's cleaned up a bit and the loose gravel on it is gone.

    Too bad Peetey... just close your eyes and think of the money

    No offense intended but it'll take more than a bloody torch to solve GPs photographic woes. Most of the photos I've seen are like my vision after a wild night on the turps

    How about we do a whip around on WNR to help buy him a camera with reasonable resolution and a focus control?

    Pretty sure by the looks of things that the pics in question are from the go pro running on automatic, though I do wonder what settings GP is using?
    It could be that the pics posted are just cropped pieces out of the original leaving not many pixels to play with. The go pro HD's super wide angle shrinks things giving a lot of background as soon as they get a few meters away.
    I suspect the Go Pro is best used for moving pictures (video). I still want one.

    Yes TA you got it in one!!! I'm using 12xx*720. My gopro is the cheaper 960 verson of Pete's 1080. I think the video it produces considering the size of the camera is very good. I am a little disappointed with the audio. The advertising ramped up the audio aspect of the camera and while it is considerably better than my previous cam (it died) there is still considerable wind noise over 80k.

    By the time I packed my good camera away you lot would be half way to Akaroa. I'm still experimenting with the gopro CJ so please be patient and bear with my bad photography!!!!!
