ATNR Akl Thurs NIGHT RIDE & Drinks 8th June @ 6.30pm
THIS WEEKS REPORT *******
By looking at last weeks poll, the after-work ride is still going to stay as a Thursday night. Thanks to those who voted, at least I have a better idea of what most people want. (Even tho half of you who voted have yet to turn up to 1 ride!)
I would recommend to those who dont have a good headlight to consider replacing/upgrading your headlight bulbs with brighter ones and get them properly aligned, a good headlight can make such a difference to your riding confidence and make the ATNR a pleasurable experience!
We are now on to a winner with the Speights Ale House in Albany. Last week they supplied 3 bowls of wedges and 2 home-cooked garlic loaves for us for FREE! These guys are really supporting the ATNR so let's have a good turnout to show our appreciation!
For those who feel the cold - there is open gas fire up at the pub to warm yourself up. If you feel you cant do the whole distance of the ride, you are welcome to shortcut-it to the fire to defrost your buttcheeks.(And to save us all a spot by the fire
)
************************************************** ********
What: A ride up north in da dark finishing with a cold one
When: Thursday night after work - 8th June
Where: Shell WESTGATE (end of the North Western Motorway)
Why: To get your fix for the mid-week blues
Time: Meeting there from 6.30pm departing @ 7pm
Pace: Open to all (As long as you can ride at least 100kph - not to say that we ride that speed all the time in the dark)
I'm doin the rides not for so much the riding itself (very limited with time and what you can do with it) but the social get-together at the Speights Ale House (Oteha Valley Road, Albany) afterwords. So if you can't make the ride, try and make the pub and meet fellow Kbers! The food is fine and a huge variety of beers to choose from. We are there from 8pm on wards.
The route will be discussed on the night. For those worried about distance/time the ride will last for approx 1hr - 1half and is 70kms long. We start at Westgate and finish up at Albany.
- Tinted/iridium visors are not recommended, please change your visors over to clear ones for the ride. It is hard enough to ride in pitch black darkness without having to look through a darkened visor. Any chance to lessen the risks we take in our riding the better! (If you dont have a clear visor, may I suggest buying/borrowing a pair of clear safety glasses and keep ya tint visor up....)
- Darkness = Slower speeds (self explained...)
This ride is WEATHER PERMITTING - I will post up in the thread if it is postponed due to weather. I will decide on the day and post after 5pm.
Disclaimer: You participate on this ride at your own risk. I will not be held accountable for anyones actions, to/from and during the ride.. Anyone who is caught endangering others by their actions will be asked to leave the ride and may be refused entry to forthcoming rides! (As we have had seen in the past) I will not be responsible for people ending up at Wellsford due to not listening to instructions nor the pointer system failing..........
