[Mully Clown]

So long as I'm awake on time I will ride to Reefton. Then probably come back via Arthurs, though that might be on Sunday.

Listening to the rain outside and wondering whether I'm actually awake or not...

I hope you guys/gals had a good day!!!!!! How was the weather?? Was thinking of you when I heard the rain at 08.00 ish.

What an awesome ride! Well done TA! We went to Reefton-road a bit damp between Springs and there. I had a quick coffee,-met up with Richard and his wife,while the others put the food bag on and focussed on their suntans, and we took off for the bottom of the upper Buller. OMG! F@#king brilliant!
Got to Murchison, had lunch, blasted the Shanendoah back to springs, thru the Lewis and home. Simply awesome day! A bit tired now

[Transalper]

Yep, brilliant ride.
Ended up doing the little big block with everyone that didn't do SV boys extra.
Great weather by the time we exited the fog out Amberley way, light traffic, all good, very happy.

The Airhawk2 helped. ~$140 delivered it was, it's a trick baffled air cushion, the best thing since sliced bread.... not that I ever sat on sliced bread, but now my butt could easily do the day again where as it would be a bit tender in just 200km on that seat with out the new support.

That was fun It's a bit to different to go that far and end up back at home, normally it's to a rally and a night in the tent. How civilised - I must do it again one day. I might try the SV boy route next time and have lunch at Murchison.

The SVboy route does certainly have some appeal.
Done the roads before of course but not like that.
Will give it a try as a loop option myself sometime.

Ripper, and funny ya say about the ending up at Home FQ... I was just discussing the same fact with WifeyBullet just a few minutes ago... I know I wont wake pissed, hungover and having to pack a tent and ride home with only a few hours to spare before sleep and work begins again.

Really enjoyed making the ride and getting around the block as we did. Enjoyed the lunch in my BirthTown.

Thanks heaps.

next ride for I will be the Sundown gig the weekend after next. looking forward to that as well.

Awesome ride yesterday around the block. After riding out of the fog it warmed up ..
and set for a great ride. Good to catch up with everyone, we should do this more often.

[Retroqueen]

But did you all actually go anywhere ????

Oh gawd hopeless.......... I didn't hit the last message button before I posted. Senility creeping in...... FQ do not say a word
