    Moe-Awhi thanks you for the chocolate and hot date too!!!! (we won't mention cake )
    hmm Sarge already knows he missed out on cake .. thats wot he gets for going on a ride today but i am sure Moe-Awhi can tell him how nice it was ..

    hmm must admit thats the first riding in the dark .. apart from the one section where I was getting bombarded by the stones from your rear wheel I thought we did a fantastic job to get me back to your place safely

    Hint to everyone ... do not I repeat do not follow sugi over gravel .. thats if you can keep up with him in the first place

    Bugger, I crashed! I binned on the ride home from Pahiatua on the first bend before entering the track. I have no excuse other than going too fast and basically brain-locked. I went into the corner with too much speed, crossed to the other side of the road and dropped it as soon as the front wheel touched the grass. I’m really pissed off with myself, as this accident could have been easily avoided. I’ve come out of it without a scratch (good gear), but helmet, bike and pride are a little worse for wear. A really big thank you to Slydesign and Lis for helping me out and getting the bike on the road. It’s very much appreciated!!!
    Now I’m off to sulk a while.
    Please give me a day before giving me a well deserved ass kicking.

    He used the carrier arrestor method... a tape electric fence tangled in his gearshifter and appears to have slowed him and helped pull him down in the left side, whacking his head into the road (helmets rock) which sounds bad but isn't compared to where he COULD have ended up, and the rest of him and the bike slid along on some soft wet grass and dirt. If he had not gone that way he would have ran into a knee height double wire fence mounted on half rounds that would have really F*#ked up his day. Its the main reason we were laughing alittle (stress release) when me and Lis realised how close he could have come to pain, yet he walked then rode away relatively unscathed.
    He ended a half metre away from said fence.

    Buy a lotto ticket Ferris, and HAVE A BEER, YOU EARNED IT.

    I've had the beer (or 3) and will consider the lotto ticket. A win right now would come in handy! Thanks again for your help Slydesign. Actually, just what is your name? Handles seem a little impersonal sometimes

    Cheers Meanie! I'm not sure there is a good reason for crashing. I know I made more than one error. Too fast, grabbing a handfull of front brake (panic), but most of all, a lack of concentration. It's not a bad corner either, it was just ridden badly!

    Is this the left hander where theres a side road on the right off towards balance?

    Probably a good thing you dropped going off the raod or you would have ended up with alot more gravel/tarmac rash.

    This is making a bit of a mockery of the manawatu rides never having any bins. I'm starting to feel a bit left out.

    Slys name is Simon I think. But my mind hasn't been functioning the same since Friday.

    The corner was the left hander before the railway line. Just before entering the track. I'll upload a map with red showing roughly where I went off and ended up. As you'll see, no excuse!!!

    Wow right outside the powder plant just out of town. I sort of thought of the track as being just the bit where you start going up the hill till the really sharp 35k turn on the Palmerston side. But I suppose the whole road is technically the track.

    Interesting place to can off. I'll have to check it out next time I'm over that way.
