Wednesday Night Ride

**gloplg** · 24th September 2010, 19:41

Anyway ...... The ride on Wednesday!!!!!!!!!!

BK, Halswell, Gebbies, round the bays to Port and either through the tube, or Evans Pass (depending on road conditions/light) to either Speights Ferrymead or The Twisted Hop.

I intend to look at the route before and will check out Old Taitap Road while I'm near.

I was on that road today, it is still a mess really. Quite a few cones marking spots where the road has moved up a little bit etc, rode over a bit of silt today too. Just not a smoothe ride at the moment.

definatley ride-able but not a fast road.

That must have been you i saw stooped on the side of the road today. I was in the car and the road was a bit bumpy. Mind you it helps when the driver of the car goes the right way around the cones.

Went out to Lincoln on the bike and noticed a few bumps that hadn't been there pre quake.

Sorry yes stopped, that's what working night shift does to one. Must remember to check spelling.
