I'm happy for the guys to come as long as they wear lipstick. If your mates see you just tell them you had a raspberry popsicle.

But I don't have to wear lippy - do I?

I was planning on some rather impressive helmet hair instead....

[Trudes]

Great news Alice, and yeah, I've had a bit of practice at this now! (I'm just full of crap that's all).

[Alice]

I'll PM you later and swop cellfne no's if thats ok and I can txt you if I feel confident to ride down to Masterton on Sunday so we can meet up, weather depending.We have had quite strong winds here lately.I'll look like drunk on a saturday night wobbling along the road if the winds blowing as usual.Joys of an El Nimo weather pattern.

[MSTRS:Me]

Not trying to put my spoke in, Alice, BUT, unless you have ridden heaps already, a trip to Masterton is too much at this stage for you. PM me when your bike arrives - I'll help you pootle around and teach you a few things.

Hey gals, that sounds like the deal, good to hear you all getting together. Unfortunately I will be unable to go on this one. 1: Moving to Wanganui next week, and a little outside the realm of ability to get to meet ya's and 2: the B'day that day so will be otherwise occupied.
Have fun, and don't forget me for the next one.

Cher Cher

That sounds very sensible MSTRS. Don't worry Alice, we will try to have another get together in the New Year some time, not a good idea to push yourself too much at the beginning, it's very easy to loose confidence from making a little mistake. And besides, I will worry myself silly about you riding all that way on your own on a new unfamiliar bike!
Thanks Shazz, have a great birthday and good luck with the move. We'll definitely keep you in the loop for the next one, aye gals!

Of course not - that would be silly

[Lissa]

Awesome Alice. If you cant make this ride there will be others for sure Shazz Happy Birthday.. and def hope you make the next one. Its an awesome day today in the rapa, fingers crossed it stays like this.

Never mind you couldnt keep up with 'us' anyway.

I just had this horible thought.

20 Chicks, riding bikes, unable to talk for about an hour. All gettting off at the same point bursting with the 2000 words (national average) that would have built up in that hour.

Now 20 chicks x 2000 words, at 5 words per second would mean a constant "chatter" for 8000 seconds, or 133 minutes.

So girls, please allow a 2:1 ratio of riding to gossiping time, or someone's likely to explode!

LOL, only 2:1? That's the rate in a normal day - not when there's a ride to also talk about! Come on, if you're going to do the math for a chicks' ride, do get it right!

[elle-f]

You know, after what has tragically happened this weekend and reading the awesome comments about these guys - it makes me more determined to meet you people. I feel that i have missed out on something by not knowing them. I am totally looking forward to Sunday....weather permitting of course

[Trudes]

You're right Elle, you know I thought about this a little and wondered if we should still do this ride, but then I thought, "I think Bruce would want us to", the last time I spoke to him he was talking to me about it too. Thank goodness for Steffi (Sphinx) being there with me and Kendog yesterday, she was a very good rock, and I think it would be good for us ladies to meet up and learn from each other. I have to now.

[elle-f]

i think you are right. although if the weather is crap i am more than happy to jump into the car and head over to wellington to meet for a coffee as well. Can i mention car in here?! It's the whole getting together thats the main thing i think.
