Tuesday 19th Feb

Tonight was about confirming plans and numbers for the October trip.  I went outside to get in the car and head off to a meeting, stopping for a quick chat with The Cook and Bugs who were waiting for Phatboy, Nelly and Mellonfarmer to arrive.  (Actually saw the last 2 legging it spinning hard as we drove away)  They then headed out via the usual route to collect Tinkerbell and Silverfox then onto Hagley to collect Dozer before making their way to Pomeroys.  I had my meeting and walked the new boardwalk of Fitzgerald Ave arriving just before Texas who was only fractionally ahead of the rest of the group.  Sandals arrived by car after dropping Helmut (or is it now ?) off at the airport.  Brews were purchased and after waiting to see if anyone else showed we had our meeting.  Confirmed we will do Rameka and Kaiteriteri on day 1 and 2 then head to Nelson for the rest of the time.  Accommodation was discussed and agreed upon.  Everyone is to commit by the 5th of March.  More brews and then people started heading home.  Nelly kindly picked up his car and dropped me off at home.  Only 3 weeks and I can ride yahoo.

Sandels explained the ? as being a symbol rather than denoting a question. Very clever. Perhaps also of not could be formally know as !.... hehehe - making it now - ? formally known as ! - or just ?for short. Also you said you should know about the hand within a week. What was the upshot there - broken or sprained? Pretty bad having both out of action. You will be looking forward to getting back on the bike.

Might I suggest - as other clubs have done - some form of trophy awarded and held by the current injured person - injured in the line of duty. Perhaps some accumulation broken bike bits with plaques for each recipient.

An award you don't try to get but that will put at least a little bright side to an injury.
