That would be great to do if there were a couple of you on like minded machinery. The torque beast is very very nice.I'd like to see you ride that the Greta Valley
That guy with the cameras
Thanks! We aim to please.I didn't want to say G.... Valley, as it's not one of my fav rides, but someone went and remembered. Good on ya Peeteey.. but then if it is raining it will be a good one to miss lol
To tell the truth, I don't mind doing a different run, Greta is nice but it's about as far away from where I live as possible. All that highway for a short, lovely stretch ...
But, I just like riding with you nutters so anywheres good

What time do you guys shoot through Woodend? I wouldn't mind jumping on the back of the pack there.

Scratch that guys, I just remembered my back tire has a rather large bald spot which causes the back end to slide around like crazy. I can't get it replaced until Thursday either
Guess I'll be missing this one too

Mully & myself rode to Akaroa on Monday (the really hot day). Instead of coming back the same way, we turned right at the top of the first hill out of Akaroa and returned via what I think is called the Summit Road. Plenty of twisties on a road in good condition, sod all traffic, fantastic views down into the harbour on one side (see pic) and out into Pegasus Bay on the other. I doubt there would be more than 10 minutes difference over the standard route & think that on the next Aka trip we should take this road either on the way and/or the return...
Embracing mediocrity
It is a fun bit of road, the only thing I found was that the view can be very distracting from the twisties, especially if you ride it at about sunset like I did a while back.
Definately a good alternative route back from Akaroa
Riding cheap crappy old bikes badly since 1987

I was wrong about your bike CJ. It isn't a beast......... it's a beast and a half!!!!Mully & myself road to Akaroa on Monday (the really hot day).

I like your idea about a different way to or from Akaroa as well. I have only travelled that part of the summit road during the middle of the day. I wonder how sunstrike would effect us late in the day?? It could make for particularly interesting riding.
And it's raining again. Damn it!!
