I posted the group riding DVD to Free2B today so whoever wants it next PM her.

Any other takers for this Sunday morning joining our Passes riders for a while??

Found another interesting sealed sideroad to include on a future local ride - turn off to Goodwood just South of Palmerston. The turn off is at the south end of that long passing lane about 5km South from palmerston. The road apparently heads out to the coast to a nature reserve done up by one of the penguin trusts and then carries on and comes out by the garage in Palmerston.

Shall we make that the weekday ride on the 22nd Feb? - also include the other coastal roads on the way (probably about an hour each way without stops)

Then all I can say is that you ride with the wrong people. Come and join a few of for the Chatto creek 1000, the Passes ride, the Southern Cross etc then make your comments.

OK lets say Sat the 17th Feb for a run to Lawrence - leave Dunedin 9am - I'll ride down to Milton and meet you there outside the Shell garage at 9:45 and then we head up to Lawrence for coffee and a natter.
If the weather looks shite then we consider moving back to Sunday.

I need to check the roster - I THINK I may be on nightshift (in which case i can still make it if I don't sleep!).

If on days it's a

Will get back to ya.

He must be talking about me - I've only done 3,210km in the same time.

(But a lot of that was two-up, can ya put that down as double the mileage in that case?)

So you have done 6420 km's kewl (wowzers... i can add

) still 3200 is a lot... i will admit that I normally only do around 2000

And I note that FIZZERMAN hasn't indicated any total mileage on http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/po...lts&pollid=734

Ah yes, service, hmmm, must take my bike in for one at some stage, it's got modern stuff like indamacators and 'lectronic 'gnition and tubeless tyres.

All of which may need a tune-up or de-fragged or reset or greased or something.

And that means a ride to Dunners, a 'Dunedin Ride' I s'pose?

**Ruralman** · 8th February 2007, 07:26

I've only done a little over 10,000km in the last 9 months but I guess next weeks Passes ride and a few other trips will get me up to close to 15,000km for the year. Then of course theres all the dirt bike trips but I don't have a trip meter on that bike and anyway hours in the saddle matter more than km's when you're off road.

Anyway lets not get too off topic here guys - at least not before we get the first of these Dunedin rides under our belt!
