Canterbury Wednesday Night Ride

It seems there's still some large amount of grit over Dyers pass going down hill. Just gotta be careful.

I'm in for Duvauchelles.

Most of us have a day job you see? Also participation on the rides are completely voluntary. If you don't want to risk a crash, then don't come.

Have to be home by Wednesday but me and a mate are heading to Akaroa on the Tuesday. If anyone can't make the Wed feel free to tag along.

Surely this is just a lame attempt at a troll?
