Coffee at Hyde sounds good, wouldlove to meet up with youagain, if we leave here by 1 we should be there by 2 at the latest, pm your cellphone? Going to get some groceries but will check online again around midday.

Sorry guys, we can't go - doing the Mother's Day pilgrimage.

Still, at least my Mum might get that leaky tap-washer fixed, that she's been asking about for a while....

So is this georgeous redhead a NZ resident yet??

Hey where do you guys stay at Hoopers - Jantar talks about the Chatto creek club staying over there at some hall - do you guys use the same place?
What - no chicks ride BSA's???

Theres a few roads over that side of the Peninsula I'd like to check out some time - you would have had a bit of that dreaded gravel stuff on the way to Hoopers too wouldn't you? Hope you didn't stone chip black beauty for the new owner? Well done on the sale

**Silverfern** · 13th May 2007, 21:43

We had a good trip up to Hyde, the stretch from Sutton to Hyde the best for me, no wind, blue sky, lovely corners, no grit, hardly any traffic and no boys in blue on those four little straights. Timing was perfect, both Jantar and we were late by 20 mins, but then guess who showed up in a car being driven by his lovely lady, good to see you NH and P. Bit of gravel/grit on road to Macraes, and apparently the other half and Jantar has some bum clenchers crossing a certain bridge, and he told me not to ride in the grooves!!! Got home, quite cold, at 1/4 to 5, need to layer even more me thinks. Beaut day out and I got a big boost in confidence leaning into some lovely corners

Crikey we have some fantastic scenery on our doorstep. Hope you made it home safe Jantar.

She's Not resident yet but chances are!!!

Hoopers Inlet Hall is obviously the same place, barely 3-4 kms from Portabello. Kitchen, Toilets and fireplace with couches scattered around. 1 km of gravel to hall, but I mosey'd around a bit and it was all gravel to Cape Saunders and an all gravel short cut back to Sandymount on the top road of the penninsula. Hey, no females allowed,

My favourite road, right through to Kokonga. Geeeorgeous! That valley under the shadow of the Rock & Pillar range loses the sun early and can catch you out if unprepared for extreme weather

**Jantar** · 13th May 2007, 22:24

Yes, a great afternoon ride. I arrived home shortly after 5:00 pm. I must remind myself to ride west this time of year so that I'm not heading home directly into the sun. Good to see those who made it, even if 40% came by cage.

So does that mean we've improved from no chance to a slim chance now does it??? Can I add your name to the beer tent roster???? LOL
One night up there will be enough for me - sounds like there'll be a few to ride up with on Sat, home Sunday.
Anyone heard whether Scumdog and CB are going to the Brass?
