Hawke's Bay weekend rides

**Stickchick** · 6th September 2007, 16:29

Dude I don't really think you are getting at what Mstrs and Tart have said. They were just saying that there is normally a Wednesday night ride when daylight savings comes along. But if you want to organise a different night as well as the Wed Night then thats cool too, but their Wednesday ride is going to still happen because it splits the week in two.

i know exactly what they are saying, that is why the thread title does not have a day on it, nor is there as yet a specific day within the original post. it is meant for people who cannot make the weekend ride. also, there is not a wednesday ride at the moment so what difference does it make? when there is a wednesday ride people can then choose to do one of or both rides, there is no "law" or "rule" to say that a ride has to take place on a certain day is there?

MSTRS looking forward to talking re brakes. As most will have guessed I also
do shiftwork. Swings & Roundabouts with that. The Saturday PM rides are my favorite, Summer Wed nights when I'm not working, sounds cool. My days off
during the week vary from week to week. But if anyone wants to Tee Up a ride during the week I'm interested. The friendship & camaraderie with you guys is second to none, you have made me feel very welcome.

I know that I'm closer to next Saturday than last , but work sucks . any how I just wanted to say I was most impressed with last Saturdays ride , far too often in the past I have ridden for the first time with unknown riders who are "just out for a slow ride " and have gotten upset when I've told them they ride like twats and they can shove there invite to the next ride . Thank you for restoring my faith in road riders , you guys and gals do as you say and I felt comfortable riding with you . Must admit to getting a giggle out of youth , entheuasim and a gravel driveway though . Hoping to get more time to ride with you , see you on the road , Dennis.

We aren't a bad bunch really, just misunderstood sometimes

ok, i had the last thread i made removed.

i have put a new thread up >>>> http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=56593 <<< this one clearly states in the title and within it is not for wednesdays! so can we not spoil it please people (you know who you are).

it is for people that cant make the only ride there is in HB at the moment which is held on a saturday, although there will be a wednesday ride this one cannot be on a wednesday due to other people being upset by it!?

if anyone is interested can they post there or drop me a pm and we will see if we can arrange something!

it is only an idea at the moment to see if there is any interest.

Was nice to meet you too. We tend to pitch our rides at the level reqd of who attends on the day. That varies from week to week, but we never ride like cocks....

I am thinking of doing a large loop on the gravel roads down the ranges to Dannevirke and then out to the coast tomorrow? (Not yet confirmed)

Weather looks great for tomoorow, However unless my toyota starlet magically turns into a Gixxer overnight i won't be able to join you guys, on monday morning heading to work the Mighty GPX finally sucked the Kūmara. Looks like i managed to kill it before it killed me. Which is a good thing i guess

Cooked a big end bearing though, piston also hit the head and squashed a ring. Found out this afternoon that the crank is buggered too. Whadda ya expect from a 250 with 72,000km's on the clock and ridden like i did? Ohwell something to do i guess

hehe, Rebuild time!! Donate me a new bike anyone?

Well you have guessed that I haven't gone on my gravel ride

But what do you reckon about heading down to Kairakau Beach this afternoon?
It is about 80km down there, and then I thought we could head back via Patangata and then home via Te Onepu etc?
All up only about 180km clicks?

Your thoughts
