I'm looking for Christchurch Adv rides

[Shoshoni]

Anyone interested in going for a ride through Lees Valley next weekend weather permitting. Got the DR put back together and have a few tweaks left to do before then.

Hi mate, can't make ride as out of town camping, but I'd love to know what you have added to your mighty DR now! You are my ProCycle test pilot...

ProCycle Complete Front Wheel With stainless steel heavy gauge spokes, Black Sun Rim & RAD Black Billet Hub
EBC Supermoto 320mm Brake Rotor Kit
Supermoto Front Fender, the OEM one wasn't good with windy days
Lower Chain Guide, the OEM one was falling apart
Case Saver Chain Guard, I've seen what happens to bikes when you don't have one
Headlight Adjusters, found a problem with them they make contact with the cowl and push the headlight up cowl needs a little trimming.

Seeing as how I missed out on the DB1k and the NITS (or whatever they called themselves) last weekend, I was thinking of getting up at sparrows tomorrow. Christchurch - Rainbow - Porika - Braeburn - Mackley - Westport, tarseal back to ChCh - anyone keen or is anyone planning a more sensible ride around Christchurch tomorrow? - quick calculation reckon it is about 500Ks Tar Seal and 220Ks Shingle

I'm keen for a ride Monday but have baby sitting duties from 1500 so wouldn't be up for your marathon.
Might look at doing a half day loop starting early, need to run it past the high commander!

What time do you consider sparrows to be? Where would we be meeting?

[Crim]

you are a baker so your idea of sparrows and mine might differ somewhat, but I would want to be starting the Rainbow as close to sunrise as possible so leave ChCh before 6am, heading North so we could meet out that way somewhere - don't think the Hanmer petrol station opens till later but I am sure we can top up in Culverdon (anyone know if we can swipe for gas up there)

If we filled up in Amberley, we'd easily get 400+ km from there. Where would that leave us?

[Crim]

be way less than 3 hundy to St Arnaud I reckon

[Gareth123]

So that would leave us pretty sweet then.

What time are you leaving? I'll try and rearrange my day and put off a few things but no guarantees I can make it.

[Crim]

Sounds good, mate - I don't think it is a very good idea to do it on my todd after what has happened to a few KBers lately, thinking of leaving say 5.30 to get a good run at it, if you can make it we'll go for it if you can't I may just do a smaller one locally

I live out Rangiora so I'd be more happy to meet at Amberley.

I'm gonna have to put the bash plate back on. About time I did that anyway.

[Crim]

Cool - you see if you can get swing it with work and stuff, I'll get my shit together and we'll see if we can make it happen, no pressure if you can't get work sorted as I have a leave pass so will be do a ride anyway (but may just be a local one)

[Crim]

right - the ducks have not aligned - don't think I should do the "marathon" solo so may have a blast round here somewhere - full day leave pass so if anyone is keen morning or afternoon shout (Matt did you get a pass for am)

[mattsdakar]

I'm just going to go for a cruise around Waimak loop about 10am might even squeeze in Lees Valley but having a few beers tonight so don't feel the need to get up too early.
Welcome to join me if you fancy it
