Adventure riding & the recession

[junkmanjoe]

you are not permitted to leave the area.
You and Dave have breathed new life into the previously stagnant Wellington adventure riding scene

perhaps you could commute?

at this stage mark, its just an interview.
but so far hes matched my wage.
Thats good, for over the phone, as we not even meet yet.

[junkmanjoe]

Fingers crossed eh!

That's very kind of you Mark, but at the end of the day, whether Joe & are dead keen or not makes no difference if all the other guys in the area aren't bothered to go out riding!
It always feels to me that in the Welly/Kapiti/Hutt/Wairarapa area there's a good GROUP of keen blokes and if one isn't suggesting the next ride then someone else is, eg yourself(!), and that's whats built this momentum for us all!!!!!! Half the fun of all the rides is the fact that the group is full of blokes who are just lovin it & dead keen!!!!

I appreciate you recognising I'm a keen barsteward tho, cos I am LOL!
