First time up the hill

[MikeyG]

Sunday afternoon, got out of bed (late one on Sat) gave the bike a once over (chain tension, tyre pressure, oil, etc) and decided to go for a ride. Not just any ride, but THE RIDE, the test of being a Wgtn biker, the Rimutaka Hill.

All and all it wasn't as big a deal as I had worked it up to be. Just a nice cruise up the motorway from Wgtn and then up the twisties driving like a nana with cages passing me. Stopped at the sumit cafe for a drink then back home before dark set in.

I fell ready to join in one of these Martinborough rides now. If someone orders for me I'll probably arrive by the time lunch turns up!

Good on ya, glad you broke the ice with our hill. See you on a ride sometime and not just lunch.

p.s. when is the next Welly lunch?

On ya Mikey! I found the hill a bit scary the first time I went over but it was well worth it. You'll have to come to the 1st October ride.

Onya Sonya. You'll be a veteran in no time.

Well done, man. See, nothing to it

I fell ready to join in one of these Martinborough rides now.

Yeahhhh ... ummmm ... you might want to pick who you do it with. Can get pretty lonely at the back (and I should know). I vote for going on the 1st October ride too, should be a goodie.
