ATNR (Auckland Thursday night ride) - Discussion thread

[Morcs]

Ride is on... probably... but the pub attendance is on (pool night tonight Morcs? Hair is coming off. I'll be there with hair at 8:00, leaving pub sans hair 8:45 or so (I'm not feeling too flash at the mo but there's no way in hell I'm chickening out of this one!)

Wont be able to make it as got heaps to get ready for the cold kiwi and trackday.



Would love to be there. I need a haircut too...

well not muched missed, wet, damp, cold and slow. Not the best thursday ride iv'e been on, but iv'e been on much worse.
Small turn out about 9 bikes i think.
Good to see a couple of old faces as well.
Should be their next time, will even make it to the pub as well next time as well.

Not a bad ride last night. Qks I , leading i just a bitch, but I think I am getting the hang of it, last time I lead three lost there licence, last night we didnt even see a cop.

Thats got to be an improvement.

Hope we see some of you new guys back out there on a night when the weather is better.

So far Melbourne has had a half a couldy day or 2.
But the rest of it is just sun, sun............and some more sun. bit windy the past few days.
Pitty i don't have a bike to enjoy this nice weather yet.
Once ive got a place to live i will start looking for a bike. Will hope to ahve one by november

Just to let everyone know:

Im pretty sure next Thursday will be the ATNRs 2nd Anniversary, so hopefully we will have decent weather and a good turn-out. Has anyone got any ideas for something different for the ride?


As for this week:

Weather is a bit touch 'n go. One minute the forecast is for rain and now it sounds like it might be fine....... Who knows?

[NinjaNanna]

We could skip Riverhead/Westgate all together - meet at Bar Africa and then do a loop from Albany - Warkworth - Albany (via Woodcocks) then back to Bar Africa.

Something a little different. Would a 6:30 departure leave enough light this time of year?


Who knows the SH1 and 16 combination might also give us the highest number of lost licenses in one hit (if people can't control themselves) to make the aniversary really memorable!!!!

I'll look after you Bugjuice. Its pretty straightforward really, you just turn up, then follow someone who looks like they know what they're doing. Come over and introduce yourself when you show up...
