Newbie ride?

[Trudes]

LOL Elle,
How 'bout all you bikeless saps come down and give our bikes a wash, $5 each, on the day! Then go for your walk!

The poll doesn't look like revealing a stand-out winner... I suggest we choose ALL THREE Sundays, starting with 8th April. That way people can go on as many or as few of the rides as they want, and if the weather is crap one week it doesn't mean no ride at all.

I might not be able to make the 22nd any more, but I don't seem to be able to remove my vote.

That's not a bad idea! It's fine by me, I don't mind going for an organised ride every weekend, but it may be a bit too much time away from other commitments to expect everyone to drag themselves out every weekend.
SO, can I propose that we make it Easter Sunday, and if the weather's crap we do it the next Sunday which is the 15th, what do ya think?

up in dorkland one of the rides was (about) one every 2 weeks, and it alternated from saturday one fortnight to the sunday the next fortnight, so if you were working saturdays you still atleast got to go once a month. sometimes rides were small (3 people) and others they were large (17). just a thought for those super keen riders

hehe 17 aint large sallo
how many was there last time guys? 60? 70?

just in relation to all the other rides that are offered in aucks on the weekends.... out west, SH16, SH22, coro rides etc

It's an idea Sallo. Just haven't been overwhelmed with a response from Newbies wanting to come, mainly just a ton of helping type people (Which is awesome, thanks guys! )
I have to say, just from my own stand point, I don't want to organise a ride every two weeks, I have enough other stuff to do, so I don't mind doing one every few months, but if someone's really keen, they can organise more frequent ones, just worry the novelty may wear off, there's also TCWNR for newbies too, so they are fairly well catered for.

but its darrrrrrk

[Trudes]

But you're not a nooooooooob.

[phoenixgtr]

I second that.

As an aside, given that it is now dark in the evenings and TCWNR is therefore a bit scary, perhaps we could start a TCWDR - The Cruisy Weekend Day Ride - which, as Sallo suggests, could alternate Sat and Sun. It wouldn't take much organising - just post a thread and whoever turns up, rides.
Edit: Maybe we can discuss this over lunch on the 8th.

Sounds like a plan kids. So the newbie ride is on the 8th, someone from out the Hutt way may like to inform us of the weather if it's looking dodgy on the day, in which case it'll be on the 15th. All will be posted in the thread starter. I will also do the calender entry and whoever is keen can put their name down.

oh cool good idea, now we can put the house warming party on hold for even longer...........

not sure if i can make it, AJ and I were talking about what our plans were but fucked if i can remember...
