Mechanics Bay is on the waterfront in AKL - it's where the Westpac chopper lives.

Shall I snap a couple pics of skiddy gettin the egg's?

I dunno about this one - I've tried one of those electric thingumies. With the right handlebars, wheels and pedals I reckon I could do some serious pace on the flat on one of them. Mind you I commute to work on a mountainbike and used to race pushies in jockland. I reckon that I could give jrandom the learn if I had the electric advantage....not so sure about Steve though....50/50 - hard to call.

Crazy Steve..

I reckon we go from the Solent St intersection to the St Heliers Bay Rd intersection. Turn around through that intersection, and the first to put their front wheel over the white line back at the Solent St intersection lights wins.

Here's the route. 7.7km each way.

Start at 12 noon eastbound from the intersection of Tamaki Drive and Solent St, then?

And for what it's worth, folks, I've done my research and I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't think I could win.

Tell me when the race is, and I might come along. Will try to draft behind Steve and boost it at the end. How fast do they go?

12 noon today, read my post just above. Be great to have you there. I personally plan on heading back out to the Movenpick shop at Mission Bay afterwards!

And, shhh, what do you think my race plan is?

They have a 200W motor on the front hub. I'm not sure what the gearing is, but I'm pretty sure they don't have 53-12.

Hmm. It's a bit unfair, though, come to think of it - I get to warm up with a ride into town from Te Atatu, and poor Steve will be starting the race with cold legs.

Yo Steve, feel free to pedal to the start line like I'm doing - I wouldn't want to put you at a disadvantage.
