Thanks

Snail pace, i followed you through Write road and you were going a good speed, some of the corners you have better lines and better exit speed then me. with more time in the saddle you will be motoring along no worries

OK guys n gals!

This Thursday 21st December will be the last ATNR for the year. The ATNR will start up again on the 11th Jan 07. For those unable to attend this last ride, have a safe Xmas and New Year - See you in 2007!

What: Last ride for 2006 followed by a Drink at the Speights Ale House

When: Thurs 21st Dec

Where: The normal spot - Shell Westgate

Time: The usual time - 6.30pm, kick tyres then depart 7pm

Why: It's the last ride for the year!

How: On two wheels silly!

The deal:

Since this is the last ride of the year, we will be riding all the roads that have been used in the ATNR. You can expect us at the pub 9.00ish instead of the usual 8.30pm. All I can say of the roads we will be riding, there will be a figure-of-eight track after the Dairy Flat Road re-group. However a full breifing will occur before we leave Westgate No mention of the roads we ride on here please!

Let's make it a good one!

Keep checking here for updates on weather.....

A longer ride O-lala

,
hope well all stay together this time and bikes start like they should

**slinky** · 19th December 2006, 08:11

is the weather going to turn for thursday night?

**Pumba** · 19th December 2006, 08:20

Would be anyones guess at this stage looking at the maps

**Keystone19** · 19th December 2006, 08:24

My assessment from that map would be that it will be clearing to fine.

Have a great ride guys. Won't be there again this week. It's been a bit hectic these last few weeks but I promise to be back in the new year to impart my superior wisdom on all things to do with cheese wedges consumption.

Have a fantastic Christmas everyone and a sunny New Year...

**Jonny Rotten** · 19th December 2006, 16:02

i wont be there this week as its my staff xmas party......but as i have hurt my shoulder i might not be able to go to the staff xmas party......so that means i could be there...... if not ill be there on the 11th of jan hopefully with a new weapon

Im pretty sure the weather will be A.O.K. for Thursday. Supposed to bucket down tonite (something like 30-50mm in one hour), with it easing over Weds then becoming fine for Thurs and Fri

Hope all is good - I have a special passenger coming on Thu... the one, the only... blondini!

Y'all give her the normal welcome now... or maybe the one with your clothes on - Yeah, I think that's probably the safer option.

See yas there and then!
