Sunday 28th November

Mellonfarmer, Tinks, Dozer, Weirdlittle (on a spanky new white 575) and Sandalicious met at Rubberjaw's. Rubberjaws and Phatboy biked to Ruapuna to watch heavyfooted drivers. the real riders went up Huntsbury into cloudy tops and round the traverse, down Thomsons to kiwi. all enjoying the open spaces. up the road then to the nun, with a short discussion of the Gov'nor's track, which Tinky admitted he's still never done(!), nice cruisy, waft down the nun, coasting through corners, then powering on through. all in all a good blast. Weirdlittle thought the newbike was barely different to his old Shamus but actually discovered he was going a darned sight faster. from kiwi off up to top of Vic Park, Farmer of mellons riding (as usual) over the seesaw, then all into the gummies each down different ways. quick regroup at the skidder site where MF said good- bye and blasted off down Dazza's, Brent's and Flow, Bridges, nuBridges and down and out and home across town. the rest? same, but they did Hidden Valley and lower Old Skool too... all up, gooooood.
