    Mid-week ride

    Hello fellow, Hb-ites
    Now that the weather is warming up and the evenings are getting longer it is time to get out and see the country side. We are thinking of a regular Wednesday ride, meeting at 6pm and riding for an hour or so, finishing up with a feed at one of our locals, fish and chips on the beach or whatever. It will be open to all regardless of ability but nutters need not show up, as they won't be welcome.
    Is anyone keen to join us? Got suggestions for routes?
    Post your feedback in here and lets get ridiing

    Sadly, I see no point in attending this if it ever happens, only because I won't be there.

    Cheers! For a while there, I thought it would just be MSTRS and me riding the highways and byways alone. Does that day and time suit ok? Any ideas of routes?

    Bastards! That would almost be worth riding up for each week. You guys are spoiled for choices in every direction.

    Aren't we just. And I have this strange feeling that many of these superb roads will not be found on any map.....
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Who needs maps? The saying, "Well I did this road 20/30 years ago and it was fine" works well. Except where that road has been demolished, eh Dad?

    You would be welcome to join us if you so desire, unless, of course, you are a nutter.

    Hi you 2. I got an email from the other group we ride with.


    Remember rides will start 5.30pm on Thursdays at Mobil in Taradale Road now daylight saving is back.



    Could we combine these two groups. yep they are bloody fast but thats ok. We can meet them at the pub when we get there. But if you want to stay on Wednesday that's cool 2.

    I will pass this on to some others and we will see what happenes.

    Hi G4E
    Wednesday suits us (read me), better at this stage - but hey no reason why people who want to, can't do 2 midweek rides.
    If weather permits we will meet at BP Taradale Rd at 5.45ish ready to leave at 6pm this Wed Oct 4. I have the route worked out for the first ride, but feel free to offer suggestions guys.
    After about 3 mths without the bike I am dead keen to be out there again... hope I'm not too rusty...
    Lets all hope that the latest forecast is incorrect
    C ya Wed peeps
