Nelson Rideouts - Where next?

[Padmei]

Just spent the day rebuilding the computer after a file corruption, 2 weeks after a Virus. Yah..Nearly bought a new one on saturday. I wasn't sure I could face it again.... Must be all those dodgy sites I've been on...not.

Are there still viruses around? I know when I got a pc about 10 years ago it got a few but I've not had any (that I know of) since I can remember & I visit lots of dodgy DR rider sites.
I do have one of those free antivirus things that tells me everymorning while I'm eating my cereal that I'm all safe from the outside world.


Faaaark i'm over this winter. roll on warm riding weather.

Hey, it was Sunday, where else were you gonna get one in Mot on a Sunday? In saying that I know the tees you mean and they are wee bit ott for some reason. Come see me and I will sort it for ya.

Yes, the weather is getting to me too.

Enduro this Sunday!

Didn't get out this weekend, so not feeling up to racing 150km, with time checks and stuff.

I'll be the one on the TT350, getting in your way and photographing you falling off...

[NordieBoy]

The Intermediate and Trail Rider classes are 3*50km loops.
The Expert class is 4*60km loops...

Quite happy to be photog'ing.

Also forecast for rain...

I read your Nelson thread often as a friend & I are coming down next March to do some riding in your area. (Some Posts last Week) We often get ripped on parts up here as there aren’t to many bike shops.
There are however a lot of riders and a group of us are in the process of forming a Collective Purchasing Group in order to secure better deals. We’re all well known to each other so it should work and have all been getting pissed off just getting the obligatory 10% discount.
Strength in numbers we reckon, turn it around on the retailer, make him work for our hard earned cash. We’re not after stupid discounts and I am an ex retailer so are aware of overheads but I am also aware of some of the margins these retailers have to play with. (Something you guys might consider)
Cheers, see ya’ll next year.

Nope. A solid guy. A man of wood you might say.

Well after mtbing up the Dun today & seeing the amount of water around I can pretty confidently say the enduro will be a catastrophic event with carnage upon carnage.

Are we allowed in to have a looksie at said carnage? Bugger it i may go in anyway.

I'll have several cameras in hand to record it all

It's not as if Sunday is forecast for rain or anything...
