Laxed out rides

Go to 4 different places, pick up a card at each and last card at the finish. Usually a prize for the best poker hand, spot and other prizes.

Def roads too - I couldn't keep up with you guys on the SV - with my current NOOB status on the DR I would have no chance!!

So what did everyone end up doing? I just did a short ride by myself. A little less than 200k. Though i would check out scotsman valley road and ended up in Te Aroha.

I did a short ride by myself too, got to Mobil Te A a bit late, went to Oto on that back road, Kawhia, Pirongia and back home to Te A. Was a mint day for a ride.

Hey, after what happened to me I'll definitely have NOOB status as well on the new bike. I certainly don't play at the front. I think the DR would probably be too quick for me

Only 3 people went on that ride. They headed south as well but sounded like it was a short ride.

The other thing to consider is the seat is little better than a board so I wouldn't be keen to do too many hours in one stretch. And since you guys are often out for several hours, I am not sure my arse would cope LOL
But it would be fun to catch up for a bit of a blat some time.

Yup, gravel on inside of corner

on Fullerton Rd ended my ride pretty smartly! I was amazed how gentle a low side can be, I'm ok but the poor bike has some good road rash. The crash knobs and rear bobbins did a great job of limiting the damage tho

I was gonna say why it was short but thought I'd leave it for you. It was funny, I was reading a thread yesterday about someone that found gravel mid-corner and what to do about it. Do you guys have a club? haha.

Seriously though, I've been caught as well (Spaz was there for that too) and it's one of the things a bloody hate about riding bikes on our roads.

This is true. He does talk a little higher though.

What's with that ?? People crashing right in front of me or just behind me.
