TCWNR - Wellington 2006/2007

[rwh]

It did occur to me that since next Wednesday is Anzac Day, we could have a significantly earlier start time, to avoid the cold and dark - 2pm, perhaps?

That's a bloody great idea!!

[bert_is_evil]

I may be up for that too

I'm keen to join this Wednesday. I FINALLY got my bike running again (after 4-5 months ) so I'm keen.

I've never been on a Wednesday night ride (well, I've never been on a group ride before ), so can anybody please summarize for me what I need to know? (is there a set meeting point/course? And other stuff that is considered common knowledge for this run)

Thanks

[Hitcher]

Ooh! A meritorious idea!

[Grub]

The ANZAC ride is indeed a cool idea and I have another

I don't want to blaspheme this thread but given the consistently good turnouts on the Sunday rides it appears that a pattern is emerging, maybe to our advantage.

It's getting cold and dark on Wednesday nights now and everyone tells me that the TCWNR does an undignified sort of fizzle about this time of the year and reappears with new vigor along with daylight saving starting.

On the other hand, the Sunday rides seem to have become their substitute but without a regular forum home. Soooo ... would it upset the Order Of Things to start a new thread "TCSMR - Wellington 2007" ? (That's 'The Cruisy Sunday Morning Ride' (TCSMR) for those who are past their bedtime)

Oh sorry, how rude of me not to first answer your question. Usually the time is 6pm at the Duck Pond - Avalon Park, just over the Kenneday Good Bridge

Im keen if the bikes fixed by then

Good idea, I would be keen.

Also a good idea. This may make knowing numbers a little more difficult if you are planning to contact places for lunch, unless the calendar is used each week. But you will get a more regular group that follows the thread and attends the ride, which I think is a good thing.

Yip good idea, I didn't know about the Sunday rides as I don't normally look in the Wednesday thread because I have sports on Wed nights. Also TCSMR is easier to say.

Yep, good idea. (I think I've actually suggested it a couple of times already! )

There was also a suggestion (by Salo, I think) to alternate Saturday and Sunday, for those that can never make one or the other due to other commitments. What ya reckon to that?

If TCSMR was in the same vain as TCWNR then it would be a case of seeing who turns up on the day, making a joint decision on where to go, and then taking your chances for food when you get there. (Sunday lunch is definitely more of a chance than Wednesday dinner, though.)
And, BTW, we should meet at the duck pond!

[Hitcher]

It could also be called "Church", services starting at the Rimutex Roadside Chapel of Biker Salvation.

"Where are you going this morning, darling?"

"I'm off to church!"

"Lovely. Have a great time then."

All sounds great. My 2c is that an earlier start would be the go, to get ahead of the traffic. The last couple of weeks have been a bit too "middle of the day" IMO.

What a sick, twisted and evil mind you have - bling awarded!
