I got out earlier today and got battered round with some heavy wind gusts. The wind has gotten stronger at my place therefore I think will give the ride a miss tonight and have another go on 08 January 2013.

Yeh its beginning to look 'grim' alright. I got the brunt of rain and wind on Sunday night riding down from Hastings and crossing the Taka's.... if it carries on, I may also cry off.. There's always tomorrow as I'm off

[Sketchy Snr]

Will pass tonight, will try another time.

[Ratti]

I'd have to agree folks. Even tho we don't go anywhere near the 'takas, it's not great out there. Wind is pretty nasty, BE and I will walk down to the Pond just in case anyone turns up. Next week the schedule will carry on as usual.

The Hutt runs all start from the Avalon Park Duckpond carpark.
Two runs start from the site next to the Kaiwharawhara self service pumps. This is so we don't block truck and trailer access to the pumps.
The Porirua route starts in the carpark at the big gates along from the Police college.

Edited read more of the thread

will see you guys at 6 for the Poirua run on Tuesday

would love some feedback

I am coming from paraparaumu so hopefully I cam get there on time

[Dragon]

Really hope I'm in the right place even tho I came early I went up to the police college and turned round seeing as I was 100% sure if this was the right place or not and had my front brake lever snap on kw as I pulled over :s just drove about 100m with just the rear brake and engine braking but it wasn't overly fun hopefully someone can suggest a better temp option otherwise ill have to ride it home like this :s

made it home ok cheers to everyone at the ride the advice was really useful and the offers of following me back really are appreciated also cheers to the guy on the ducati for rushing home to see if his spare brake lever would fit

I'd like to think we are friendly bunch. As always, new faces are welcome. Great to see some familiar ones too.
Ride went with no hitches. I try to choose routes that challenge learners without being so hard you get discouraged. Senior riders generally like them too and are happy to give up a bit of time to pootle about with new riders. Good to give something back to a pastime that has given so many years of pleasure.

Look forward to next week. This Sunday BRONZ has a Helluvit Ride. Suitable for slowpaced riders. There will be some senior riders happy to hang out with you on the road. Make yourself known to the co-ordinator and he will sort you out. Details on www.bronzwellington.org.nz

Great ride on Tuesday night and good to be able to get back out on my bike after being laid up since October 2012.

Good to meet some new people and as always a keen starter for next Tuesday.

[Ratti]

"BigRed" - yer I like that name for my baby.

everytime I am out on it it feels better getting use to the touchy throttle and the extra weight, but love my baby.
