TonyB's freedom ride ;-)

[TonyB]

Hi all. Not expecting much of a turnout for this one- it's on a Thursday- Oct 13th. I finish my old job on the 12th, so on the Thursday, I have the WHOLE DAY to go for a ride. And half the day on Friday the 14th.

So the plan is to do the Lewis and Arthurs Pass loop. This is dependant on two things;

1. The weather (well D-uh!)
2. Progress with the kids having Chicken Pox. Zach has it now. Lexie may have it by then.

If one of the kids is home sick it's all off. If the weather here is crap but it's good on the coast I'll go. If the weather on the cost is crap but it's good on the east side I might do a loop up through Nelson or through the Waiu valley. There are many possibilities! I want to get home Thursday night worn out, happy and ready for a

And then an Akaroa GP Friday morning

SO, Bren and OAB- I'm looking at YOU on this one. Might even change the conditions for that book loan if you change your day off to Thursday...

[Bren_chch]

I should be ok for both of them! Think I can get time off...

Chicken Pox... a lot about lately! Must be chicken Pox season!

[SpeedyGirl]

I wil think of you all, won't be there of course ... but have fun

Ya think? Any more takers..... OAB? Sniper?

[Sniper]

I will check with the boss. Shouldn't be a prob

That it is. 5 down at the kids preschool this morning.

Any more takers? Note Sniper will be on a 250, so fear yea not riders of smaller bikes. And Bren rides like a nanna anyway . Having said that, it's a big trip- probably not learner material- and you'll need something sporty to keep up with the big bikes.

[Sniper]

Yea I will be on a Fizzer so I should be able to beat you tony.

Sounds like fun, i cant see me doing it tho, my bike is as we speak is being painted, but from what the painter said there is something like 40hrs of just masking:slap: then all the colour mixing and air brushing........so unless its finnished or there is a bike shop stupid enough to loan me a bike i doubt i will be there, or i could dub u on the back of your bike Tony??? you will have a blast

[Sniper]

Yea my bike is due for a paint too. I think I may have a custom Job too.

Ahhh, I take it that's what the pm was about Tony. Well sure, don't see changing my day off to Thursday as being a problem, so count me and Suzi in. She'll love the decent ride, been too long since I last headed out of town for a serious ride.
