It's hardly counted a "night" out riding if you're finishing that early.
And what's wrong with the rain? Saves having to clean ya bike!
Little ol'Hornet Rides again!
Well that was a good short ride, this sorta stuff is normal for me, but it seems you others are mad as hatters! Did Mt Eden, No Tree Hill, Mt Wtgn (closed ... denied!) and finally Bastion point via the St Heliers GP.
Howling wind, driving gales, rain coming in sideways at the top of No Tree Hill was kewl!Visibility was minimal ... much better from the other places! Very primal forces as rain, wind and night converged to collude a cauldron of cacophonous calamities!
Was funny seeing TOTO's hand turning blue from the dye in his glubs leaching out!Even hid his lil'ol'hornet behind a tree
Time was good ... 7pm we left, finished ride by around 8.18pm at Bastion point! Cagers were minimal, bikers were non-existent ... but there was a group ride and much fun and mirth had from it!
"I like to ride anyplace, anywhere, any time, any way!"

Hehe , that was fun. The cows in one tree hill were happy in the rain eating green grass, the seagulls were also very happy surfing the gusting winds above our heads and so were those three biker friends, going around just for the sake of going around
My "Bone Dry" gloves kept my hands as nice and wet and have colouring on my palms - I started turning into a smurf
had a laugh tonight

Fashionably late.
Part two of previous video
Uhh, if I'm to put all of these in this thread, there's bound to be like 4 - 5 parts if not more, I hope that's okay haha.
Next one will be the first lot of twisties I think.

LOL let the knee-down-round-town tradition continue!
i wish i could've gone. unfortunately my gear is not up for it anymore, after i thrashed it mercilessly through daily riding in wintertime

Is anyone up for a ride tonight?
It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

lol funny night boys! and the photos show we were just being idiots! It was peasoup and so couldn't see a thing, and all my bike gear was dripping when i got home, so hung it over heated towel rail... gloves were still wet this morning, so used my backup pair to come to work!
Well that made 9 days of riding! yeeehaaa!
Ill have to wait til i get home to see the videos that have been posted, but matt i saw the first one and your voice over is hilarious! good on ya mate... can't wait to see the rest
In terms of a ride tonight... the weather is better... so where were you thinking? I just have to be able to get home in time to be able to clean my bike again before my bedtime!
pickledbunnies

i'm up for a ride. weather has cleared , and even if it hadnt all my gear is dry again and ready.
any desires of direction ?
Forum whore
hahaha... just seen the map you drew for the same time... it felt like that in my head!The approximate map be attached below
Ithat straight eh... Would've gone a bit nippier if there wasn't a shiny gixxer in the way
Still new territory for the lil ol hornet tho
Erm, where didnt we go?i didnt even realise half of those things we turned down were roads... but i loved every minute of it
Nay, he confuzzled the poor google maps... rough one of what ye rode
And get off the grass.. that gixxer flew past you, then the rider had the thought... "ive never been on this road, maybe this is a little silly" and so didn't continue to accelerate - at which point the little old hornet slowly gained on her - bet you were ringing the tits off her though!!!
And then on the second straight, don't blame the gixxer... blame the bloody cars coming in the opposite direction!
Yes... im very defensive of my wee gixxer!

Umm, how about the ancient Tour de Movenpick. That'd count in Takapuna and Parnell, Mission Bay... and...

Well when I did MaraiTai and Kawakawa bay was so cool coz there was no cars and plenty of light and roads were good, so how do you feel bout maraitai trough kawakawa bay and getting to kaiawa.?
Otherwise I have some secret roads here in albany that I showed the other swarmers before but dont thing some of you were there so we can do them again ending at Long bay or something like that?
Otherwise I'm sure Gi can lead us trough some more of those hanua roads
or that stuff...Umm, how about the ancient Tour de Movenpick. That'd count in Takapuna and Parnell, Mission Bay... and...
take your pick boys and girls.

secret roads!
i was supposed to ride with EJ today so i'll ask him to come along. can we make it a bit later than usual so i can eat for a change? =_= but if that's not good for everyone else don't worry about it.
& "a little wet" is tolerable... but my gear takes a lot longer than overnight to recover from a good drenching!(need to buy spare gear so i can go on rides in the wet with you crazy lot
