I hope the titles correct enough

Anyways the missus and i were going on the short country ride after the wheels week parade.
Well so we thought , after the town parade and as advertised the all motorcyclists were to meat at the rosebank rest home to then set off to methven then to stavley, mt somers then down to the hinds firestation .
Upon arriving at the meeting point at precisely 11:30 am for the depart, we get informed that the ride left 15 mins before we got there .

Fuck yeah im pissed off
In the case of an advertised event , all times should be kept
I wont be bothering next time

Hey grasshopper, the flyer I have here says meet at 10.30 at the Ashburton Fire Service carpark. Was there a bit of confusion somewhere?

Fair enough to be pissed off, it's turned out to be a good day and I shoulda been there. Instead I'm watching children ... and can't take 2 pillions on bike. Sigh.

not sure the paper here said registration from 9 am then moving on to the street parade at 10 30 , then regroup at the rest home leaving aprox 11 30
so you think they would have been there at 11 30 .

Yep "aprox 1130" went passed there at 1125 and they already left before that
so i guess now i have to work another week to get out .

Ops - yes, reading again, says meet at 9am to join the parade at 10.30.

So why weren't you out of bed and down there at 9am??

We planned to go on the ride part after the parade , so you know , missed it all together .
thinking we had loads of time and meet them at 11 30 if wed missed them by 5 mins fine but not missed them by 15 mins .
After all we wouldnt have been there waiting at 11 then waiting for all we know 30 mins .
would have seemed a bit stupid

Hope it was a good day though!

I woke up with the woman jumping on me telling me to get up! 10 minute scramble getting leathers on and stumbling over each other we were out the door. Make it as far as Rakia and thought fuck it, I don't care how fast I'm riding - I ain't getting there on time lol. So made a leasurely ride back and did some leathers shopping lol.
