Re-group outside the Wheatsheaf and in Little River.

This is it guys and gals, the last week before daylight savings ends

I'll be thar, irrespective of weather - looking ok anyway. See you all then.

Next you'll be asking "does my bum look big on this" I think you may have a little trouble with a Boss Hoss on the summit road

I'll be there tonight unless I have a hold up, but should be ok.

Missed the start of the ride due to work today but never the less I decided to try and catch the group. I took the Akaroa highway around and met the group just after they had gone over Gebbies. Tucked infront of HOT and away we went to Little River. And man what a blast it was. Not much of a cruise, just a damn fun, fast ride.

Coming back was another story. Myself HOT and Retroqueen left together and I had plenty of fun over the twisty bits. HOT your headlight is poos. I thought you guys were going to my house at one point but you carried on going.

Hope everyone got home safe and sound, and Brent your tyres should be scrubbed in nicely now.

Cheers

yeah that was fine, bloody cold, I did not need to know that it would get as low as 5 degrees and home would be 8 outside.
Loved the ride. Been quite a while since i have taken a ride over that hill. Great to know me Griso is now a goer, and will be hanging to get to Middlemarch at the weekend.

It was a great wee ride alright and it is good to have a bike with a better head light.
And it was a bit cooler than normal.
The next thing could be heated grips for the new toy.
And some new boots at this rate.

**tintin 69** · 1st April 2009, 22:39

yep was a good ride over and a pretty quick ride back, was going well keepn up with cruisers aprilla and then my clutch started to do pooes damn it. Time I shout the kwaka a new clutch me thinks.

It plays through in real time then rewinds and goes slow mo on the bikes.

I've uploaded to LiveVideo.com too....

**gammaguy** · 1st April 2009, 23:23

the gamma needed to be let off the leash

was a great,fast ride and reminded me that 22 years ago suzuki built a damn fine machine.

thanks for the ride people,now about those heated grips......

**McWild** · 2nd April 2009, 07:15

Haha man the 2 strokes stuck out so badly in that vid.

The cyclist at 2:14 got a good laugh out of me.

And now you've made me late for uni, good job!

**phoenixgtr** · 2nd April 2009, 07:21

Hmmm...twas a bit cold. I had a good ride. Was really relaxing. I think some time on the track has helped me.

Thanks to everyone who've come along this season and made the rides fun. We've had our ups and downs, especially some downs, but I know alot of us still look forward to our Wednesdays.

There's no reason why people can't keep riding for a few weeks. Hell, I might even turn up for a ride. When they start throwing grit down, thats when you gotta call it quits.

In a couple of weeks time we'll kick off the maintenance nights (or should I say "stand around drinking, then bugger off to the pub" nights). We''ll keep you posted.

Ditto to this Tristan,certainly been an eventful season for me!!

But at the end of the day,getting out on a Wednesday night has been great,and usually a lot of fun

What a great way to end the WNCR's. I look forward to the next Wednesday rides; it’s nice to go for a ride with such enthusiastic people, it’s a pity we have run out of daylight savings.

Auzy Paul on the back of the hog froze on the way home. I hope I haven't put him off coming back to go skiing this winter.

Yep the grit on Dyers pass slows my riding down a bit, bit it’s usually safe if its not icy and you keep your speed down.

Thanks for the Vid have just shown it to everybody at work and its on its way to Aust as well.

Try a "plus 30" bulb. They are 30% brighter but use no more electrical power.
