Sounds good to me! if it stays dry...

Be nicer up the top if the wind dies off a bit.

Same to you guys! Have fun!!

Kerryhare, believe me when I say you won't hold anyone up, they can pass you if you are! Besides when they all shoot away and wait at the designated points they have to wait on us turning up

I actually never seem to make the same destination as them as I'm riding slower than them and have to turn back round as they are coming back!!

If anything you will only have about 4-5 people in the slow group! So you won't actually hold anyone up!

FireLiv is very patient following us newbies and is a good person to have follow! She doesn't mind slow!!

I should know cause this is one newbie she followed after I had been riding a grand half hour!!!

Well dave you should take this advice on board-you trolling was not helpful and I for 1 am not amused. For once I didnt think anything D said was out of line but what you said was. I knew you were trolling but it wasnt useful at all

Crikey if this weather continues I think I might go see Avatar3D instead.

**been_there** · 30th December 2009, 16:27

Weather looking good now in the east...
Hows the south doing?

**Subike** · 30th December 2009, 16:37

It started raining heavy as here in north cant at 1pm, thunder and lightning with a definate temp change in a very short time. Since then it has not stopped and I think it is heading south towards you guys, so if you see grey clouds to the north east, expect lots of rain.
Other than that, if it does rain, then its good practice for the new riders who dare to face the elements and go on the ride.
Have a good ride peoples, double your braking distances and watch out for those shinny slippery spots.

don't go North is all I can say..... and I won't be coming with you all tonight cause my gear is dripping on the deck outside!!!!
Next purchase is wet weather gear!!!... was a good ride up but the southerly hit as we left Kaikoura. .

Have fun tonight folks... enjoy your ride!! Happy new year to all once again..

**been_there** · 30th December 2009, 16:42

Thanks for the update.
I believe that we have SW winds at the moment so hopefully it doesn't shift.
Roads are starting to dry in Avonside....sweet

Thanks RQ and you too!!

Just got in from Fox and are feeling a bit road weary so won't be along tonight.

I would really like to have a catch up and a beer but my head is buzzing and Chris has just given me a big whiskey.
