Winter Solstice Sunday Ride 24 June

[merv]

Hey BB if its fine I'll be there (at my age you get choosy about the weather) as I escaped Sydney yesty after crap weather there all week until the storm blew over and it came right - blew my plane home fast after leaving 30 mins late last night we were in 15 mins early - fastest trip I've had over the Tasman. The people I were with did a pub crawl Monday night, a few bars in the city, then eventually ending up at the Cross at The Bourbon and then Barons - I escaped back to the city by cab around 2am from Barons while some of them went to about 3 more bars for a few more hours. Never saw your wanted posters anywhere.

At B&B's, Bourbon and BeefSteak, right hand corner front open window, picture stuck underneath chair, that's where the picture was: if you ordered Rib Eye - medium rare, with a bourbon straight up, that was BuckBuck's special. The waiter would have known and told you where the picture was...shhh you arrived at 11.15 and left at 12.55am in a red Legion cab.

Catch you Sunday

Heads Up and Enjoy

[Nasty]

I gotta do some work tomorrow ... so its off for me .. but have a great ride!!!

[Kinje]

Blasted up the takas this morning and was a bit windy but not really enough to cause any problems. Just relax the arms and enjoy the ride

Went out yesterday afternoon and this morning each time up to Te Marua and back Mangaroa Valley, Wallaceville Hill and Trentham. Each time on SH2 was a bit windy and turned off before Moonshine this morning coming back from Mangaroa Hill.

Fingers crossed for weather forecast tomorrow, winds easing.

Heads Up and Enjoy

oh bugger. I will think of you as I sip my Latte at wild oats on a glorious rapa afternoon.

Well in the calendar post I said I was leaving at 10.45, ah what the heck another 15minutes is neither here nor there.


[corrected first post this thread to read 10.45am departure from Rimutex]

Pending how the weather is shaping up and looks as though it is improving:

I am thinking - stay with the Ponatahi Road for back way into Carterton, and if we decide to abandon Alfredton, then back through Gladestone to Martinborough

Heads Up and Enjoy

That's why I was asking about time coz this thread said 11 while the other was different.

If I come I'll be there before 1045 probably anyway.

Don't abandon Alfredton.
