just to take the boredom of the ride up....
why do you not leave the motorway and head into rangiora and take the back way through to amberley before rejoining sh1

Good idea, do you know where you're going? You can lead...(I have no idea, in fact I've only ever been to Rangiora once in my life).

cause it'd take too long to get there + the average time we spend at a pub + the ride home.Originally Posted by 3umph
as it is you wont get home from greta until 10:30ish maybe later.
also the route contains a lot of turn offs and junctions, on such a newbie friendly ride it's best to keep those to a minimum, especially that part of chch where every single long straight looks exactly the same as another.
at least those are the reasons I decided not to go that way
still waiting to hear about my bike....withdrawal symptoms...

Already have the clutch cable fixed, it had seized up so he just made a new one so that's all good. Need a new front brake disk though, woop de doo. 2 weeks ex Japan and lots of money
Location pending I think I might come along this time, but as I'm only using my rear brake except for emergencies I'll gladly go TEC or at least just ride at the back of the pack. I'm just that kind of a nice guy.
Good luck with your bike Dave, I hope it isn't a long wait. Go test ride some bikes to keep riding, and to fill the void!

Hi. Are we going to The Greta this week????

Ha ha gary, good timing. 3 umph i suggested this route last year, but makes it a one way trip for me. Is a good ride around the back. We could always head to greta five mins early and take the sefton route and hook up with the rest at amberly
These aren't the bikes we're looking for....
Better Red then Dead...
yip... those that want to do that way leave a bit earlier....
Hardcore Biker
Mmm I may even make it this week.

If you decide to do the Waikari Scargill Valley Gretta Pub route,
be aware
from the Scargill turn off , over the railway to the top of the hill past the golf course they have resurfaced the road,
So there is some loose chip and NO white lines.
Irode it yesterday no problems, but would advise larger following distances due to the loose chip.
Let me know tomorrow night if this is a go, I will tell the Publican that she can expect some hungry buggers.
To be old and wise, first you must be young and stupid.

Hmmm...how far would this be? What's the road like?
