Apologies for not making todays ride & meet

LB · 9th March 2004, 04:35

I'd love to come (now I've got my new expensive DID chain fitted to the Duc) but we'll be at Ruapuna. Have a good ride if you go guys/guyesses.

e-riders have a fairly informal arrangement to meet at 8.30am at Caltex Rimutaka on any fine Sunday, so you may meet up with some of them.

The reason for the 8.30am start is twofold.

Firstly, it gives us a good run over the hill before there's too much traffic around.

Secondly, a lot of the e-riders have wives/families who don't ride, so by leaving early the guys (or guyesses) can have a reasonable length of time out riding but be back home for sunday lunch/whatever with the family.

(and thirdly, it means I can fit in a LONG day's riding!!)

In deference to the cold weather, we start at 9.00am during winter months.

Apart from our "formal" rides, it's a very informal set-up, and if you want to come over later you can usually find us at the Flying Fish in Martinborough at some stage during the day - often we're there for lunch then back there for avo tea.

I guess too that a lot of us are old farts who have no social life :disapint: , so we're asleep

early Sat evening instead of being out on the town so are rearing to go riding early Sunday.....
