I'm looking for Christchurch Adv rides

**TangoCharlie** · 17th November 2012, 20:28

I wasn't planning on doing the full CCC as not sure of full route, was just going to do Eggleston, Kaiwara and Etheton Roads back to SH1. Good luck finding tools, too early start for me given number of red wines consumed....

Impressed with how well the two new guys went - would have been absolutely buggered doing all those k's on the peninsula for the first time - well done !

Pint at the wheatsheaf served us well - crap weather had passed once we were ready togo ...

Cheers all for the day

1000am it is, just reliving my youth watching Led Zeppelin Celebration DVD, they haven't aged well, but I guess the same could be said for me.

Ha Ha I was thinking that you and Cynna made the right move as we were getting wet.....sure enough half an hour later the sun came out!!

Cool ride today, lots of roads I have never been on. 350kms all up for me. New Procycle seat is the biz!

See you all on the next one..Cheers

The new Celebration Day concert from the o2 in London? Didn't know it was out on DVD already! I know it's going to be nothing like how they were but I really wanna see it!
I've got quite a few of the young whipperSnappers I teach playing Whole Lotta Love, Stairway, Ramble On etc

The 2007 concert DVD was released here on Friday!
It is great!

Too wet for me, I am getting soft in my old age, only ride for pleasure not a shower!

Thanks, felt very awkward at first but got more and more relaxed as the day progressed, really did appreciate the help, advice and support.

Walked in the door feeling really good when I got home, had dinner, a few wines, sat on the couch by the fire and then the aches started, arms, back, thighs...yep..."absolutely buggered" sums it up nicely.

thanks for a good day fellas, TA did you find your tools? Was just a fuse so I am back to having a headlight

**Transalper** · 18th November 2012, 11:46

Headed out about 8am in the rain, just back from looking.
No sign of them. Boo.
Having another think about what I want to replace and what I wont bother with.
