Canterbury Wednesday Night Ride

[Peeteey]

I think it's still BK, Ferry Rd to ferrymead and up Mt Pleasant Rd to the Summit Rd, long the Summit Rd to Evans Pass. First regroup in the carpark at the top of Evans Pass. Back along the Summit Rd to Mt Pleasant Rd and then Bridle Path Rd and through the Tube. Around the bays to Dyers Pass Rd. Second regroup in the carpark at Dyers Pass below the Sign of The Kiwi and then onto the Summit Rd to Gebbies Pass. Down past the Blue Duck and final regroup at the Tai Tapu Pub.

I'll join you guys as you go past my place

An interesting if very shortened ride last night!!!!! American and Italian tractors bit the dust last night. Many thanks to the team for their help with returning the bikes to the road. Both were ridden home. I hope to compare notes with our Harley rider next WNR.

Next WNR. Sorry SS Duvauchelles. Pizzas the week after.

Hey all, it's been a while. A little update here:
Insurance gave me a call and they've decided to go forward with fixing the bike. So if lucky I should be able to join you guys after new years... depends how fast they can fix it really!

Good stuff man. We're riding/moving down on the 11th of Jan so will be keen on joining y'all from then on

Hi peoples, I'm Quentin the guy on the red/white cb1300. Frank is the guy that rode the Harley - and sorry to say that he damaged himself a little more than was perhaps apparent on Wednesday evening. He is currently in hospital with multipls fractures to his scapula and 6 broken ribs. These injuries have come not so long after quite a bad snow - boarding accident.
I think the doctors were amazed that he rode the bike home again afterwards. The Harley as most would have seen is barely damaged, though Frank has mentioned putting into the shop
to get it checked over - and the minor bits of damaged sorted. Myself and another couple of his work buddies went into visit him yesterday - and he seems
in good spirits, though I dont think he'll be along next week however. I should be along again...will see you's then..

Holy cow! Poor dude, that sounds painful. Plz wish him a comfortable and speedy recovery from us.
Adrenaline is an amazing thing ...

Yes please give him our regards for a speedy recovery. What ward is he in??

[SVboy]

What happened?

[SpeedMonger]

What happened?

Without breaking the WHOTSOT protocol;

HD vs grassy bank

MG vs gravel patch

Personally, I am not keen on doing any riding on the Summit Rd again. The road is in terrible condition.

Hi..Frank checked out of the Hospital on Friday (scans showed that fractures to scapula were not deep) . He went on leave on Thursday as his parents are over from Canada. The text I got from him on Saturday suggested he was up on Evans pass with Family ejoying the view and some F&C for dinner.

I am pleased to hear that Frank is out of hospital. From what you say it sounds as if he is coming right. That part of the summit road got both of us that night!!!!

I may have to get the training wheels back on my bike.

A good reason I didn't want to go up on Summit. . sorry to hear of the mayhem that occurred and that injuries were inflicted.

I have work and family commitments this evening that prevent me joining the ride. really would've liked to join tonight. The new devauchells pub is very nice!

Have fun guys and be safe
