Sunday arvo rides, ya can't beat 'em

[Oakie]

Yep, beaut day here in Chch. I wanted to try the Bandit out on some serious uphill twisties with Mrs Oakie on the back to prepare for a trip we're doing in a few weeks so we went thru the Lyttleton tunnel then out to Allendale (?) then turned and went over Dyers Pass. Told me all I needed to know ... the Bandit took it all in it's stride and felt rock solid ... not that I was going fast or anything. The worst part was going back down Dyers Pass and having to move over near the edge of the road to accommodate the cars that moved into my lane to pass the cyclists trundling uphill.
