The McJim's Farewell Ride & BBQ (15 September)

[Hellraiser]

For those that don't already know, McJim & Chickadee have been hit on the head a little too hard and have decided to move their family down to some place called the South Island, so i thought we may have a ride and BBQ to bid them a farewell.

Date: Saturday 15th September 2007
We will meet at BP Botany @ 11:00am

Without getting into to much detail the general idea is to have a seperate ride for the less experienced riders that will be a short ride of about 2 hours and a longer ride for the experienced riders 4 hours+. This will however depend on the numbers attending. Route will be revealed on the day but the general idea for the longer ride will involve going through Tauranga and then across to SH22, open to Suggestions on which roads to take


NOTE: This ride is NOT newbie friendly, and will be at a medium pace with very few stops

In other words you need to be able to ride at open road speeds confidantly

Sign up HERE

There will be a BBQ afterwards at our place we will supply Salads & Sausages etc ... etc BYO Drinks & any other meat you may want.

I might come along ... if McJim is going to be there, they can't be going that fast, can they?

I'll bring the girl along, shall I? You guys haven't met her but she's a wizard cook.

[McJim]

Can I come?

[Macktheknife]

Sorry McJim, I will be recovering from surgery mate, so no chance of joining you for this one, hope you all have a great ride.

[Chisanga]

Route will be reviled on the day.

I certainly hope it won't be THAT bad

[El Dopa]

What do you mean? Hit over the head . . . . .? That's too easy must be a more difficult procedure to have any one made sane and be able to come and live down here.

"Reviled"! Any ride up there would be reviled but us down here on the empty roads.

Have a good get together and don't forget, they let us ( those of us who live down here ) onto KB. Cheers.

Woot, looking forward to the ride.

...as Billy Connolly once famously said of the first Scots to settle in NZ..."It's nay f*cken cold enough...further sooth"...hence they all ended up in Dunedin

Allegedly, it also takes a Scotsman a full week in the sun to turn from pale blue to white...then another week to turn from pale blue to pink...allegedly

Have fun ya wee Scottish thingy ya.

depends how far south the burger could do with a long run 1000kms?
