CCC loop on 17th Nov

[XF650]

This does actually relate to the CCC ride:

Does anyone know where (in ChCh) to buy Rhineck beer (cans or bottles, not kegs). It hasn't been seen in Ashvagas for some time.

I am keen. Where is the "Peg"?

Welcome to KB by the way. This will be a good ride to get to know a few of the chch adv riders.

The peg is the pub on the left at the motorway start as you head north through Belfast. Pretty much the last building on the left as you head north.

I have been on a few rides with the KB crew. This should be a good catch up and a good excuse for a new rear tire. Cheers.

This is all new for me!!
Would really appreciate if someone could tell me what I should pack.Wet weather gear/drink etc but what else?(spares/parts/levers...)
Do we bring food for the day or stop at civilisation for fuel?

Well this is a good trip to have ago at then. Wet weather gear is good and hopefully we wont need it but you never know (looking good so far). Warm gear is also a good idea. We will be stopping in both Cheviot and Culverden for fuel for those who need it. I think the whole loop is 300km so not everyone will need to stop though (hopefully the big tank turns up before then).

As for other spares I wouldn't stress to much if the bike is in good nick, if not then a spare for anything major that might fail. If you've not done much slow running before bring some spare spark plugs (and the tool to change them).

Where we stop for lunch depends on the time. Last time we stopped at Cheviot but there is also a nice place at the high point of the Random Spur Road. I would suggest you bring food but we will almost certainly be in or past Cheviot round lunchtime if you want to buy something there.

A teaser.....

Cooneyr & I have teed up at a "mystery deviation" for this ride.
Details are suppressed, he wants the route to be a surprise.
Lets just say the views should be spectacular........

Is this deviation going to be suitable for a pillon?

[cooneyr]

Is this deviation going to be suitable for a pillon?

I'm not 100% certain as Ive never seen the track and I've never riden with a pillion. On a more positive note the track is a power pylon track so should be OK for 4x4 5 ton trucks.

There is actually two tracks, the first of which is the easiest one, will take about 20 mins. If you decided the second track looks a little difficult there is a sealed route option round to meet us. If the first looks to difficult then you can just stay put as the second goes back to within a couple of km of start of the first.

I think the whole loop is 300km so not everyone will need to stop though (hopefully the big tank turns up before then).

So, half a tank should do me then Yep, I'm still in.
