    Hopefully you will be able to give it the big. If not, there will be plenty of time to organise another venue...............and the deposit.........well it was only worth about 5 hours of fensing

    Some great sweeping corners for sure. We do that loop every now and then. If you get into the area where Raincliff is, the roads are great. A bit more rough and ready and you have to watch out for tractors but awesome riding none the less. One of my favorite rides (once I get an hour out of Ashburton) is Geraldine - Fairlie - Pleasent Point and back to Geralding via the Seven Sisters Road. (Not every day you get to do Seven Sisters!)

    Anyway, Ghostie, myself (plus the best half) and maybe Mr Triple will be at the Darfield Bakery at 8:30 am Friday for a breakfast pie then a ride down the middle to Ettrick. Others are free to tag along if they wish.

    I have looked at the rabbit's entrails, sacrificed the virgin and called on the gods to ask for co-operation in the weather. The result is a band of rain moving through mid week and clearing from Canterbury early Friday morning and fine weather for the Ettrick area all from Friday evening until Monday.
    Time to ride
