Mounting Cnut Hill - Sat 9/5

[marks]

lets assume at this stage that Joe wont be able to get a key (he hopefully will be bikeless by then)

So, unless someone can come up with something better how about the following as a loose plan.

Meet at Toppys at 9.30 Sunday for a leisurely coffee and perv.

Head in to Sutherlands Hut and maybe chomp a sandwich there (The stream might be up a bit which will add to the fun)

Blast up cnut

Ride out to the locked gate at the coast

Retrace our steps and have more coffee at Toppys

If we can't get up the hill we can faff around on some of the side tracks near Sutherlands Hut.

So whos coming??
Me
Andy?
Bart?
Gav?
Michael?

anyone else?

Don't know about you guys, but this is my plan.

Just playing around with google thingy.

This is a rough idea of how steep this bloody thing is. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like about 160 metres of elevation in just over 400 metres. This is with a loose rock surface, and after a steep climb of about 300m from the riverbed.

Ahhhh........I love this shit

[andy mac]

I'm getting too lazy to play with that google technology. On Sunday I will just adjust my goggles & say that cnut hill was f'ing steep.
Michael what time are you leaving home?

I had better enjoy this one because in the future it is going to cost just a touch over $5000 per year to register my motorcycles (and scooter).

The levy increases proposed are for the ACC component only, add the other levies and then add GST:

126 - 600 cc bike = $612.33 to register
601 and over $875.96

Perhaps I will bring my own eats and wait for the rest of you outside Toppy's.

I was just working out how many times I've been pulled over by a cop in the last 5 years. Ummmmmmmmmmmmm............zero.

You can guess what I'm going to do if the new ACC bullshit goes through.

43 f'ing horsepower, and lumped into the same group as 170hp rice rockets. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhh

[Box'a'bits]

I'm intending to come in as far as Cnut Hill. Assuming that the weather cooperates. Still supoosed to be crappy Sunday.

I might look out the window when I wake and see what the weather is doing. If it's fine and I can be bothered I might bring the PD in to the Hut.

Snap - still sulking about the weather, and now the ACC levies.
Maybe we could ask the National government to get ACC contributions from Horses and trampolines, both of these cost ACC more than bikes! Bet those National voters are glad for their "change" that they voted for, not even going to mention those tax cuts

[pampa]

Thanks ... i may go
will bring my 599cc bike doh!

Yes Pampa, Sunday 18 October.

Why not register the rider/ cos you can only crash one at a time.

[andy mac]

Cnut prepartion - new knobbly fitted last night, I hope it's still got air this morning. And will try to swap the smaller front sprocket tonight.
Rain is forecast for Sunday morning so will be going trailer trash with James & his RMX250. CU at Toppys.
