Chch Wednesday Evening Cruises - 2008

[Transalper]

Hows about the Leader Valley loop? Do it anticlockwise so that the sun is at our backs.

Googley Mapy reckons about 281 km – about 4 hours 15 mins round trip for that... the Wednesday Evening Ride lot are used to riding for 1 hour and 10minutes each way as per this Mapy...or Mapy any comments people??

[Deviant Esq]

any comments people??

Yes, here are some comments for you:

1. Fucking Canterbury Plains, way too large and way too bloody flat!
2. Bloody hell it was hot riding around town today, must've sweated a litre!
3. Bah. Fucking America's Cup. Millions of taxpayer dollars, prissy boys in their big toys.
4. Mmm, blondes...

Any questions?

[Transalper]

Yes, here are some comments for you:....

Any questions?

Yes, can you tell me more about the blondes... actually no don't, that would take us right

[Deviant Esq]

Oh yes, definitely way off topic. Unless they were, I don't know, showing us how to do some general bike maintenance, that'd be pretty useful for your general Wednesday newbie, right? How not to wash your bike? Yeah, I reckon that'd be quite useful actually.... you know, in case of emergencies and all that....

Maybe we need to have a demonstration night with some of these blondes?

[Deviant Esq]

Maybe we need to have a demonstration night with some of these blondes?

Yeah, I'd have to agree. I mean, what if one of us should forget the correct procedure involved in say, getting all lathered and steamy?
"Oh dear, miss, could you please show me again, only more slowly? Such a shocking memory today..."

Yeah. That's more like a weekend afternoon exercise than a weekday night one. About half that distance would be more reasonable especially if you're looking for a halfway break and natter.

alex and I are now flatting (yay) im still stuck for a bike but have 2 days I guess...i might pillion on alexs' katana...either way I'm sure alex will be along on wednesday.

and you're going to hear a funny story from tristan don't believe it, it's not true.

and you're going to hear a funny story from tristan don't believe it, it's not true.

Yes, well, earlier on I roll up to lights and looked over to the car in the lane next and looked away and then thought "what the hell? was that Dave", so I look back and sure enough, it's Dave and he's looking at me thinking "oh shit, he's seen me!!."

Now this doesn't sound so bad does it? I'm sure Dave's alowed to drive a car...


...but an MX5!!!!! With the top down!!!

So hows the new career going Dave? Are you enjoying hair dressing?



(I'm only teasing ya. One of my sister's ex's had an MX5...but then his sexuality was in question.)

Plenty of questioning of his sexuality was done last night when he told us the story...! All good humour though.... We went easy on you coz it'd be mean to make you suffer more than you are already!

[The Lone Rider]

Enjoy the ride, I'm heading off to work for the night in about 10 minutes.

We are heading to Kaikoura or Akaroa this weekend if anyone wants to come. Send me a PM. Destination not confirmed as it'll will depend on how much time people have on the day. Thinking it'll probably on Saturday though.

[MVnut]

So where's tomorrows ride heading. If I do ever make a WNR it'll be by meeting somewhere along the way as 6.30 is too early for me. ciao

[Transalper]

25hours to go and still undecided... or are all the quiet ones with Biggles and the Leader Valley?
Well I think you all know my fall back plan choice... it would be same as last week.... Duvauchelles again, or if a couple of the Adventure crew showed and wanted to split off to do Western Valley Rd I'd be up for that too.

[fireliv]

If its leader Valley I wont be able to do it. The bike likes to drink petrol so dont like my chances of making it round. The other week I barely made it back to springfield from the bealey pub...... I think it has serious issues.

I have yet to ride along any part of summit road though, any possiblilites in that?
