Yes.

Route will be BK, moorhouse to Fitzgerald, Fitz, Hills, Marshland. First regroup in the usual spot on the Old Main North Road just short of the motorway onramp. Folk from the north of town may want to join us there. Motorway, second offramp, Skewbridge Rd and into Rangiora along the Flaxton?? Rd. Second regroup in the usual spot at Loburn. On to Oxford via Ashley Gorge.

Destination the pub at the west end of Oxford. (I will edit this later when I get home!!!)

Sounds good, I just managed to get my bike back in once piece, so I'm in.

Danm right past my front door... Cant make it tonight as i have somebody coming to look at one of my bikes...

Well, that was a fairly fun ride, although it turned out a little eventful for my taste.

I forgot my backpack in the pub, so turned back a few km out of Oxford. Then I ran out of gas just as I was turning onto Minchins rd, and had to flick it to reserve, then ran out again about 28km later, tipped the bike over to the left to move the fuel over to the petcock side and ran out for the final time 800m shy of the Old West Coast rd/West Coast rd intersection. After my flatmate came with a fuel can and I'd put a litre or two in, I found my headlight had stopped working - high beam worked fine, but low beam, nothing, which made the 8km final stretch back home rather interesting.

On the bright side, going through the electrics will give me something to do tomorrow.

Yes .................. Well ....................... Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ............... Interesting times you live in BY. Glad you made it home ok.

In comparison my ride home was deadly dull and booring, but I enjoyed it, and the company last night. Thanks to all who came along.

Looking outside this morning maybe the weather last night was rather good. Last time I said it wasn't going to rain it did eh Max.



Anyway ............. Anyone for pizza next WNR???? Hurunui Pub????

Interesting Pete. I like the video especially the stabilisation.

As for tyre pressure, had I been more on to it you could have used my 12 volt compressor which I have been carring for some months now.

Blown headlight bulb would be my guess.
