ATNR (Auckland Thursday night ride) - Discussion thread

[Pumba]

Cool! I really want to go... But I am feeling way to shy I can do 100 easy but I am still a total newbie.

What if I stall at the lights or something? Everyone will laugh at me.

We all had to start somwhere. My first ATNR was a real experience, it is a different ride now. Come along and try it........................at least once

No one will know, at least its not a kick start, one press of the button and your away again.

You guys must have been pulling out just as I turned up.

I hung round for 5min or so and then did the ride by myself (I needed a blast)

Yer we left at around 7ish, bugger it would have been good to catch up again Carl.
Next time.

Im going to strive to make the ride this week. Need to get new chain and sprockets put on thurs, so if done in time will be there to scrub in my tyres

Ir's a shame you work on weekends or you would have been able to come on a proper ride this weekend and put those new tyres and sprockets to good use.

I get weekend days off occaisionally though. downside is its usually only 1 day and have heaps to do, combined with getting on it the night before and being a bit hungover.

on another note, chain and sprockets go on tomorrow, downgearing it like craaaaazy hehe but yeah thursday night is on like donkey kong.

Wouldn't it be nice?

Have been meaning to come out for a ride but I cannot remember the last time I was in Auckland on a Thursday! Have been speanding most of the week away from home and only coming back for the weekends.....

Guess I may be able to come along on the 9th but only if we dont have our work xmas dinner that night otherwise it will have to wait til next year.......

Only Myself and Boosted out tonight, Just not like the old days anymore in summer.
So did our own ride, we blasted at a brisk pace, out to Muriwai and back.

I do that Muriwai ride at least once a week in the morning and sit at the top of Maori Bay and sip a V , will try to make ride this Thursday (blasted work) perhaps another new destination (metal roads )

Mate, just get into it and ride. We all make errors now and then. Just cruise along at your own pace. It is no race.... that is best left on a track.
