Winter Weekend Day Rides

[Transalper]

There is no frost or black ice to worry about when it's raining.
I ride year round so will keep an eye out for ride threads.... especially since I'm missing out a bit at the moment with broke gearbox and lack of repair funds. Hoping to be back soon, but still getting out on the trail bike in the mean time.
J's not so keen on wet or cold but I am allowed out on my own from time to time

Being new to the KB site I was just wondering what happens after daylight savings reverts back and the WNR end do to the onset of lack of light??

Do you do or have weekend day rides organized???

not necessarily weekly but maybe fortnightly or monthly??? weather dependant

could be longer day rides say to kaikoura, springs junction, hanmer, arthurs pass, The Chequed flag etc...

just an idea of not already done...

if not who would be interested???

Last year they did Wednesday night maintenance evenings in it's place.

I'd be keen on an ongoing thread for regular weekend rides, providing I don't have to organize any of it

Preparations have begun to hopefully do the same this year

Good stuff. I have a much more open schedule this year, just usual of work woman and kid, and re: motorcycles I have no commitments anymore anywhere I believe. I have a space for more motorcycle activities.

So what do you do on a maintenance evening?? Maintain ones palate for beer tasting?

[phoenixgtr]

Well it usually is just an excuse to head to the pub...

Last year we did various things...changed some spark plugs, fitted a pack rack, lubed and adjusted some chains and just learnt a thing or two about general maintenance. There was even an evening set up with the guys at Street & Sport for us to learn a bit about suspension. Usually, if someone needed something doing, between us we could get it done.
