Westpac Rescue Helicopter fundraising ride

[Biggles2000]

Great ride. It was so much better to get out for a ride rather than doing house work on Saturday.
Don't mind it being a bit wet or cold, hell it is winter. Got very wet riding home after the event had ended.
Is this going to be a regular event? I hope so.
Great to put a few more faces to names.

Yeah, cold and wet but a good ride.....and good to meet the Greta Valleys boys and others. Saw Mark heading back the way we had just come thru the Scargill area, nice to hear the Kat's engine getting a bit of a workout. Sorry I couldn't stay after arriving at Chopper HQ but had to work.

Yeah, you had me puzzled - sneaking off without saying ciao you did

Same, I made squishy sounds walking around in my boots. Managed to soil quite a bit of the flat before I managed to extract myself from my wets.

If we're going to have regular rides in this kind of weather I'm going to need some proper wet weather riding gear

You live in Christchurch without decent wet weather gear .... would have thought that was essential.

Its not so much the wetness down here in this weather but the COLDNESS, chick'n'charge had to return 30min into the ride due to frezzing up.

I think Mikkel just wanted to rde his new Supermoto, he would've still been there if it was snowing

I'm sure it rains less here than in both Auckland and Wellington. But as D said - it's the cold really.

I do have a decent rain oversuit - I'm just lacking waterproof boots and gloves.

Pretty much Snow is easy on the tyres as well

Good ride I like that bit through the Scargill valley be sweet on a good day.
Didn’t make it home from the Helli pad in one go, had to stop by some trees and Thaw out couldn’t feel me wee pinkeys anymore.
Good ride, good cause, good group of riders
Better than sitting inside any day

Glad to hear it, yeah these roads are alot nice on a sunny day though that is for sure.

Yeah always good to keep it shiny side up, last thing we needed on a fundraiser day for the helicopter was to need it!
