Big River Bikers

True, BRB is very casual and loose as yet, contact is via six 'committee' members passing on intending ride info via txt and phones, we are learning to walk before we run so to speak.

Thats correct, I am one of the "Ringers", It would be easier to just post on KB or flick an email, But on my list there are only 3 to ring the rest just get a bulk text. So its not to bad. We will just see were it goes from here. Unfortunately not everyone is as technically minded as the KB'ers.

I have just started a new thread for adventure riders from Otago to give us a thread where we can plan the usual stuff

Mbazza - I hope you still like getting out in the wop wops, but there must be a few others in the Balclutha group?

Hi Bruce,
Nope, only me riding upright with my arms straight! Most others in loungers or hunched. Could be that that us wop wop riders only do it in the better weather! Cheers.

Are you casting nasturtiums at my Lay-z-boy on wheels?

Lounging or 'hunched'?

The "hunched" appearance comes after you(get told) pull your head in too many times. A common affliction to those who know more than everybody else.

I made it to the meeting, there were about 25 people there.

The following events were decided, you will all get a message from the ringers

August 10 Ride to Beamont via Manuka Gorge then up over Moa Flat

September ride TBA one of the Ringer groups is organising

October 26 "Have a go Day" at Terratonga

We also accepted an offer to be involved in the Can Drive. Which will involve a ride around the district on Tuesday 9th and deliver them during the Christmas concert at the show grounds on Friday 12th (So that we can soak up all the accolades from the audience for our hard work), and leave our bikes on display during the concert. We decided to to thr run earlier in the week as the concert starts at 6pm and will only run for 2 hours so that does not leave us enough time

Some of the dates for these later events may be subject to change.

We also discussed if the ringer thing was working, so any comments in that would be appreciated.

[scumdog]

Thanks for that BR97, it all sounds good!

I guess I was not the only BRB member who missed out on the meeting due to the flu, - still, I hope to be on the above ride (work permitting.)

[bladerider97]

Yeah there was not to many people there, considering there were about 80 at the first meeting.

We did discuss if we needed to meet on a more regular basis. The general feeling was no.

Yeah the last thing many of us need is more meetings !!! - the email and this forum are great ways of communicating (for those that use it!!). If there were 12 members prepared to organise 1 ride in a nominated month then it would work pretty easily - and lets face it, organising a ride on this sort of a forum isn't hard to do. So yes I would take on the job for one of them if required.

About this can run - you planing on doing that on the bikes?? - and I assume you are talking about picking up lots of aluminium cans ??
