Hornet Swarm Night City

(she wanted me to go ... but I passed the test!

You failed our test though

Well, it seems we are heading back to the original format of the ride We used to ride and ride and eating came last at the end of the ride!

Over time, protesting tummies meant we had the eats come first! Hmmm may end up having some snacks first to quell any rumbling dissents?

YAY! I am totally for this change... I may actually come more often... (bet that discourages you from changing it!) I'll be there for the riding, and can avoid the eating! glad you are reverting to the better schedule!!

Turned up to find Wanpo and Gale wolf arguing over who has the better squid machine. After a bit of bike related dribble we decided we weren't hungry enough to justify eating before the ride. Wanpo suggested we explore some of the north-western territory and we set off for Shelly Beach.
Met The Interceptor on the way and off we rode into the darkness - the four amigos.

Took the usual long way to Hellensville and then off to shelly beach. Nice ride, no surprises, and roads were predominantly dry. At shelly beach we wondered on the fishing bridge (name ?) and numerous bike related experiences were shared. We also stumbled upon a UFO (Unidentified Floating Object), surrounded by a few cool lights. Soon we realized that the people on the boat/barge were standing on the deck looking at us, looking at them. Funny that.

Made our way through some other back roads and ended up in a cool little asian food place in Albany. The Interceptor appeared to be the hungriest of the bunch ordering up half of the restaurant, Gale wolf settling for some noodle soup, Wanpo for some Pig on ride and I had the chicken on rice. Was nice to see the portions were a good size too. Ended up discussing everything from MotoGP to how stuck up the french canadiand are. Topped it all off with some rice cake - complementary from the restaurant. We shall be back

Nice swarm night as usual. Catch you all next week

Great ride last night albeit a wee bit chilly. Thanks guys for waiting for me at Westgate and thanks also to Toto for leading the ride.

I just wish I had managed to finish all of the meals and drink that I ordered... I blame this darn never ending head-cold... sniff sniff

[wanpo]

Oh yeah, did I lend my Hard drive and/or USB stick to one of you guys? Sucks not having external storage

[gijoe1313]

You gave it to me with the copy of Bari Bari on it! Will return when I come next week! (or if you need it sooner, we can meet up somewhere?)

No rush, I knew I had lent it to someone was just trying to remember who. I'll grab it next week *IF* you show ;p

You mean if his girl lets him come?

[gijoe1313]

Yes, remember our old mate Dylan? Vanished off the face of the earth after he got a girly!

Amazing Gremlin has time to post after his blogging - hard life being on a USA roadtrip

[gijoe1313]

No, it's not what you're all thinking - my pillion girl has decided being wet and chilly at night is not for her at this moment (she got that yesterday when we rode to Waipu via SH16!)

So, just me - bring wets and grab a snack beforehand, let's go find some nice roads and ride them!

Just to reiterate - no eats at the beginning, just pure riding!

[baffa]

Keen. For some reason I've been struggling to stay awake so far this morning,
as long as I'm not tired this evening I'm keen for a ride.

Just drink a red bull and take some concrete pills.

You mean HTFU pills!

[wanpo]

You mean HTFU pills!

Tomato, tomato...

hmm... not quite as effective when written down.

[gale_wolf]

"Concrete" is just the street name for "HTFU" pills, all the cool kids are saying it now. Either way, take some

[baffa]

I went to the cafe and asked them if they had any gear.
They stared at me. I asked them for Concrete pills, they looked at me funny, and gave me my usual order of a large flat white. Think I'm good to go now =D
