ATNR & Drinks 22nd June @ 6.30pm

[Qkchk:Me]

What: A ride up north in da dark finishing with a cold one
When: Thursday night after work - 22nd 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 don't have a clear visor, may I suggest buying/borrowing a pair of clear safety glasses and keep ya tint visor up....)
A anti-fog insert is a great investment.....

- 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..........



Dont forget ya thermals!

WARNING WARNING WARNING


I was up that way today....


The workmen/women are still working on the new roundabout.
Large gravel around the whole area.

Ride slow throu that area.

They reckon it will be finished in another week.



If it gets wet then the dirt in the area amongst the large gravel will be damned slippery as hell.

FYI... It might start raining tonight or tomorrow. 2 low pressure systems merging...
