Rimitakas Warning - Sunday 18 November

[Hawkeye]

I went for a play on the hill earlier tonight. Good ride up and over to Featherstone. Ride back to the top was again good. From the top down to the Hutt not good at all.

From the very top corner, all of the way down, a stock truck has dumped it's crap in the middle of the lane. I lost the back wheel on a bend but thankfully managed to recover.

If your heading for the hill tomorrow morning, take it easy.

Cheers for that.

Bloody stock truck. Wankers should be prosecuted for that kind of carry on.

Yeah! I was over there around 6pm. (doing the good parent thingy earlier and couldn't get out until then).

[McDuck]

Yesterday was an awesome day for riding. I did the rimitakas quite a few times and only had problems with arsehole motor-homes not pulling over
It was great to see heaps of bikes on the hill too

Hell yeah. Had an awesome ride yesterday over the hill on Sat, was good catching up with you! Interesting guy at the Icecream shop in Featherston eh!! In fact it was such a beautiful weekend we spent almost the entire weekend riding! Thanks Malcolm for letting me borrow your bike all weekend, cant wait until I can actually afford a real bike so you can have the RG back..... You rock Mr!

yup keep right on the road the way down

slippery stuff, i had a car chase me down (crap im slow...) i bet he couldnt understand why i was leaning right ofver for the right handers but not the left, felt the tyre skittle about a bit

[Bullitt]

I intended doing it Sunday. After seeing quite how many cars were about on the way out there plus knowing the road conditions already I didnt see the point. So I followed a stream of cars over the Haywards then went home. Such a pity a great day of potential riding was ruined...least there should be alot more to come.

Suppose this all smelt great too? Glad I was in the 'naki.
