Well, I tried to join you all, but by 7pm I hadn't got a txt (phoenix is not my friend any more ;-) so I decided I'd just go to the top of the takas and back home. I got a bit worried riding through the hutt when I couldn't actually see the takas because of the clouds, but I continued anyway. It turned out to be dry (apart from a line of sheep shit) all the way to the top, and I was having fun, so I carried on down the other side (some damp spots, but no rain). I meant to turn around at the bottom, but once there I thought I might as well blat out to the Tin Hut just in case you were all there... there was nobody there and in fact the lights were off! So, back over the three hills and I got home about 9pm.

A warning to anyone doing the Paekak hill: there are some (well sign posted; 30km/h) bits of new seal at the bottom on the Pautahanui side, with lots of loose gravel atm - take care.

I'm sorry mate. I sent it!! I feel really bad. It's time for a new phone I think. It is 5 years old. Dammit!!

[Wasp]

Mines phone is older

OI Alex, remember it could be the other side too - also could even be something not related at all but just shorting out (probably is what we think though) - i know diddly squat about bike electrics

[Hitcher]

Well, did you guys go anywhere and do anything last evening?

[hsvboy06]

No worries. I'm not sure how txts work, but it's possible I was out of the coverage area or something... But still, any excuse to get a new phone!

Buckbuck took charge...we did the Wainui Coast Road and back to the Lifeboat pub at Eastbourne. Good turn out considering the rain checks.
Shame the nights are drawing in though. How was your evening, Hitch? You must be knackered, mate!

[Hitcher]

Rain checks? Were you out riding in the same city as me? Did the earth move where you were? Why do stars suddenly appear?

[ceebie13]

Wow.. looks like the weather was 100% better over your way... bugger it!!

Er...just a bit. We took one look at the grey stuff clinging to the hill and decided it was a no-no. And with loose gravel on Piecock, we wisely chose coast road.

Yes rain checks..of which there were a few and of which you were one!
Ah....Karen Carpenter...eat your heart out!

[Hitcher]

Ahhh, the rain checks!

Careful what you say about Karen Carpenter. At least she would have been a cheap date...

Just wanted to say thanks for a good ride-out last night - as a noob it was my first group ride and everybody was really friendly and chatty. The pace was just right too (only got overtaken by one 250!), and I learned alot from following some of the guy's lines - the guy with his daughter on the back was a pretty good guide as to the severity of the next corner too!

Thanks Rich for the invite, will defintley come along to some other rides too

Txt is delivered in best possible time. ie NOT always straight away. There can sometimes be a considerable delay especially when transitting networks. (Telecom to VF and 'toher way around)

Yeah, thats the trouble I've been having lately. My mate wasn't getting my txt's until hours later or even days. We'd be sitting in a bar having a beer and he'd get a txt from me asking him what he's up to tonight. Bloody annoying!!
