Dunedin rides

[Kemet]

I went down to Kaitangata after the protest ride. Brother was in the half-marathon they had down there, so went down to see if I could catch the end of his race. Well and truly missed that but stayed to watch the prize giving seeing as he got first in the open section.

Never been to Kaitangata before... nice, albeit quick, ride from the first turn off a little outside of Milton. Should have carried on but the weather felt like it was starting to close in down there and with the new tyre on the back (two days old) didn't want to take my chances of getting caught in the wet. Get back to Dunners and its lovely. poos.

Hadn't planned on going to the Magpie but if the weather is dry I may change my mind and go. That trip should really wear the tyre in....

a ride over to middle march will certainly wear your tyre in

[Kemet]

might be a tad breezy up that way right now.... that won't wear the tyre just a hole in my wallet from all the petrol guzzled fighting those winds....

anyone keen to get out for a bit of a ride later this morning ??????

How many Dunedin riders are going to the KB rally at Kopara and when are you travelling, and which route?

We're heading up on Friday morning - the route will be a bit weather dependant. If its torrential on the W Coast then it will either be up the middle or up the East Coast (maybe meet up with some ChCh riders??)

Not to mention people taking kids on the ride with no protective gear, bare arms etc etc - just beggars belief how farking thick some people can be..

Thats sounds good XK - I was planning on coming through anyway so it looks like I should bring the bike (weather forecast says it could be blowing it nuts out so it might not be a pleasant ride in....... but then its still more fun than the car)
When are you heading to Kopara??

I am hoping to leave Dunedin early - well early by the pillion's perspective!! - so prob around 8:30 - 9 and at this stage prob riding with the Shreks as well. There is a chance our plans may yet turn titsup but I should know today or tomorrow whether that is going to happen.
We would head up the inland route from Winchester - Geraldine etc to catch the West Coast road at Sheffield and hopefully meet up with some others there.

You do realize that riding with us will just make you want a big adventure bike even more !!!!

[Daffyd]

Could be a tad early for me; I'm a good 1 1/2 hours away from there. However we'll see closer to the time.

Have a look in the top right hand corner of this post.

I could catch up with you, and maybe give you a toot as I pass!
