Learner Ride to Cape Reinga (20 November)

[Newbi]

I had just edited and cut the final video with a total playing time of 10.51 minutes, was saving it and then half way through the bloody program crashed.

So now I have to start again, what a BITCH!!!

Oh F--k that sux big time

Bugger!

A couple of ideas to take some pressure of Maha and Mom organising the ride.

Maybe on the first day riders are responsible for there own lunch, ie bring sandwiches etc. And just stop somewhere nice. And one day make the lunch stop by a bakery.

And a dinner one night to be made by the riders at where ever we stay. Organisers, leaders and Tecs are to sit and watch as they do the alot of work during the time.

Just thoughts as this is a huge thing to organise.

Even though these are learner rides I cant see long term as I become a better rider why I wouldnt keep going.

Crap.

the bloody program crashed.

ARRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Hope that breakfast service was not too tough this morning. My alarm went off at 6 and I just lay there wishing I could stay put. Mark gave me a shake a few moments later as I had not moved. I was awake just not wanting to get up

[Mom]

Ooooh love it , any dates your thinking of (assuming your not thinking xmas day hehe)

Right on. Having a blast is definitely part of why I ride but I really enjoyed providing a buffer and helping my fellow riders in any way I could.


Shit that sounds good! Just say when.

I am thinking a Sunday afternoon thing, bit of a pootle in the morning, finishing up at ours for a BBQ lunch and a couple of cold ones. Even if it is a kid weekend or what have you kids could also come along, it would just mean parent misses the ride. Suits me I am not riding anyway

Everyone gets so busy at this time of the year, Sunday arvo should be easy to sort.

Let me confer with head office and set a date

Well once you have been riding for a while you could always be one of the Ride Leaders / Tecs instead that will be my excuse for going on the rides.

On a side note, I got the call today to say that the first part of my suspension has arrived in the country, so $1,100 down, another $1,000 to go on the front forks and then hopefully the rearsets will arrive in the country shortly so the whole lot can go on the bike altogether.

oh first I thought oh shit, ....and I got to the front forks and the rearsets and it started making sense again.
