It ok a group of 3 cyclist cycled past us while we were parked up in sumner, lead guy decides to let of a smart comment directed at us bikers and the women behind him (wife I think) clipped his wheel because he broke pace (big no no in bunch riding) and went down. She was fine when we left.

Yes great ride. Dyers just above Hackthorne was most interesting. Three of us had scary moments on the way back!!!!

Did you hear the one about the cyclist who slowed to abuse the motorcyclists and had a fellow cyclist run into him. Thank heaven for the HOT lady who was present to render assistance

Good one to all who helped.

Oh and sorry Petra (Quack Quack)

Did anyone notice the new WNRer on the Kawasaki with the big yellow L label. She is pedalling a bit faster these days. Hmmmmmmmmm if this keeps up I will have to up my game or hang up my boots!

**Retroqueen** · 25th November 2009, 21:29

That was a great ride folks. Thanks for the heads up re dyers. We chose the tunnel

I'll let ya away with it this time Mr gloplug

Ok ducky!!

I'm gonna need knew boots soon unless I learn to hold my toes up!!

Yep, feeling a bit sore at the moment. Half a bottle of Sauv Blanc and some Panadeine helps though.

Had they put some signs up yet? I called them once I got to Pitlane this afternoon - they said they'd sort something out. Hopefully the tar would have solidified by the time you went past and at least some of the gravel been driven off.

As long as you stayed upright it's all good. When I passed at 15:15 the shade of the trees made it impossible to see that anything was amiss. I was going quite slow through there - there were no indicators to put me on guard besides the earlier roadworks - and the next second it was doing a face plant into the gravel and liquid tar. The riding gear is a mess, the helmet is buggered, bent handlebar bolts, pranged lever guard... my right thumb is taking on colour and is quite stiff, my left shoulder is rather sore and I'll get a GP appointment first thing tomorrow. The specifics of my ACC claim will NOT include the words motorcycle, motorbike or anything like it.

Good to hear you had a nice ride guys!
