Dunedin rides

**Daphilps** · 9th January 2008, 06:38

Went for a short ride last night as it was such a awsome day, Down to portabello and over highcliff rd, nice ride although highcliff rd is quite rough at the portabello end, had a cage driver hard up my arse going down the coast rd as i was just cruzin to enjoy the veiw and the corners, he musta thought he was doing well to keep up with a bike.

Smartarse!

I took the rear whels off both bikes to get the new tyres fitted.

CB was not well-pleased to find she couldn't head off on the bike when she came home from work.

Looking forwards to going to the rally tomorrow. Dive home, quick change then off... Well thats the plan at the moment. And just to be handy, NH can get my gear ready at the same time.

If you guys already knew about it then you should be spanked for not sharing!!

Avoid this road at the moment! I arrived @ the top quicker than I should have, due to the fact that there is NO GIVE WAY SIGN at the T junction. I over ran it, & if a car had been coming from either direction I would have been history.

Lots of gravel, big gravel on the older tarmac at least until Saddle Hill.

Yeah I went up it just the other day. Definitly watch out for the give way. Alot of the gravel seemed to be due to hot tar from the sun letting go... And other usual crap. Was not there a few weeks ago. Nice ride otherwise
