TCWNR - Wellington 2006/2007

[sels1]

Hey guys just been reading this thread and like the sound of the rides but here's the hard part Im a unconfident learner rider - would I be welcome or would you consider me to slow? By the way Im using the hubby's sign in so no I dont ride a LC1500 except on the rear!

Turn up. All speeds catered for on the Wed night cruise. There is an experienced rider assigned to shadow the slow group and we always stop and wait at set points for everyone to catch up

I hope to make it but will be getting rid of the old bike and maybe late. Can someone text me destination as will attempt to meet up...

Sure - pm me yr no.

[Darkman]

might b a brand new '07 R1 on the ride tonight..looking FW to seeing it.

edit: just spoke to Stu and the bike has not arrived yet, so doubt it'll be out tonight.

ooooooo... look at that new bike in the profile....... Had an upgrade have we Freakshow....

It could be an interesting night for a ride with that wind tonight. I'm sitting overlooking the harbour and it's certainly not a good night for jumping on a ferry between the island's.

I've got some things to do later but if I get finished in time, I'll be there

Kapiti riders - 5:30 at Mobil (and I might even get there on time this week!)

I'm heading in earlier to do stuff so will see you at the pond.


Weather stn on 'tukas reading (@3.30pm)
wind - 246deg 10min average - 32kt gusting 46kt
Temp 13.4 hum 74.8 rain-nil
In other words its strong south westerly winds, cool, but still dry

May consider an alternative for slow group, depending on who turns up

Was hoping to make tonight my first TCWNR but no such luck. Riding vetoed at the mo

I'm working on hubby letting me and bubs ride for as long as we can still borrow bike gear that fits us.....

[Sparky Bills]

Ill stop by and say Hi, But will be doing my usual route home.
So will catch up with people then.

nope, no one is too slow - we cater (that doesnt look spelt right...) for L-platers. so long as you can ride on the open road and could do the 'takas if asked all is good

If asked and you don't want to do the takas is all good if you say NO ... and that is accepted .. and often something else is sought and ridden ... remember always ride to your comfort levels (or to slightly push them) .. not the levels of those around you.

The Wainuiomata Coast Road got a canter tonight. It was blowing a goodly gale. Nice tail wind on the way down and a more-than-decent headwind on the return. Parrot & Jigger for raspberry and lemonades afterwards, together with the local HOG chapter. About 14 bikes all told.

Well, I turned up to ride but ended up doing something else after a quick phone call. Maybe next week eh?
