Hey Swannie,

If you're good to ride that night, what say a bunch of us start off at the old Albany Pub, then ride into Queen St with the crowd.

?

I'm looking forward to this and hopefully the weather will be good to us.

Just hold on to my rear grab handle and I'll tow you up doing 10-15 whatever kms...That's if I get my bearings done.

I HATE city riding with a vengeance but I've been told I need to learn to ride in those "50 K" areas.

Na, up to 55-60kmph is no worries. After that I really need to hold on to the bars with both hands cause the light little push bike gets a bit twitchy over bumps after that. I've done it with andrew before from New market to my house in Penrose. LOL

Cheers for offering to do it. You just have to be smooth and we'll be sweet!

If the cops come, just say you don't know me and you didn't know someone was holding on to the back of your bike, so you won't get in trouble.

No worries? See you guys on Friday night!

Na, seriously. I'll get away one way or another. Even if I get snapped, it's no biggie. Just make sure you pretend like you don't know me at all and you won't get into shit.

OK. I understand what you mean. Will make sure that I keep a big eye out for anything. No point in doing anything funny when we are in a big group anyway as not all of us will be able to get away.

Will be getting the bearings done tomorrow. Looks like WT's trackday is a no go now

as I'm skinter than skint.

See the rest of you at Mt Albert.
