Lee's Valley ride on 23 December

[reverend]

I am in. An alternative going back is the ashley 4wd track from the Okuku bridge to robinsons road (involves a crosssing of the okuku), stop for a swim in the Ashley. The Eyre is always good for a laugh as well, a bit more technical than the waimak.

Plug, where did you get your sheepskin seat cover, I am doing a lot of kays in the next few weeks and need some padding (getting old),

cheers

Can you put up a map? I'm a little confused as to where you mean.

Sorry guys, I posted too soon when I said I would come! I cant make it anymore as Xmas chores have backed up on me!

Hope you have an awesome time and no one is sporting anymore injuries for the Xmas break!

Have fun guys wish I was there in the South Island with you.

Thanks for the ride today,was bloody awesome.
Here's hoping Pete feels better soon and his bike is back on the road just as quick.Man,when I saw how far you went....I was surprised to see you walking.That was a scary fall.
I now know I need to invest in some earplugs,the haul from Oxford to my brothers place in Swannanoa was painful.
Also,must say thankyou to the man with the KTM for helping me with the rear brake,made the rest of the ride a lot more enjoyable.

Hope you ain't aching too much after taking the scenic route Plug.

Ah Plug, did you really want to have a look down there?

Hope you're OK and the bike aint too bad.

Awesome day guys. Fantastic road, scenery, weather and company. Speedy recovery Plug. Where's helenoftroy when we need her eh? It was certainly an 'oh shite' moment when TA waved us to slow down (as if I ever go fast - must be the slowest Transalp in the land!) and the next thing we saw was the skid mark going over the side. All the best for Xmas folks and see ya'all next year. Cheers, Tim & Deb

Well old girl, shall we try again?

The red lassoo was no bloody good at catching Plug then?

Thanks for the ride today guys. Was heaps of fun. Am gutted for P cause I know how much he was looking forward to the DB1k. Glad that he is OK and I'm pretty sure the bike will live to moo another day.
