Tuesday 19th May

We were having a meeting re the trip so a flat ride was planned.  Went outside for 6.15 start and met Silverfox (on his sperm bike) Tinkerbell (on the Marin) The Cook (on his fatbike) and Bugs (on his old giant).  We set off along Opawa Rd, Shakespear and then right into Waltham and over the bridge.  From here we cut in front of CPIT and though by their preschool, past Visions Restaurant and out to Madras/St Asaph St.  Headed down High St and then into the Square.  Down Worcester to the Museum and right towards the Aramgh entrance to Hagley.  By the bridge we hooked up with Phatboy (riding Uncle).  We then sprinted around North Hagley, slowed to cross the road at Womans Hospital.  From here  we headed left around South Hagley at Warp speed only stopping to regroup at the point we started.  Across the road we headed through the hospital, over the newly restored Antigua Bridge and then right following the river to the Bridge of Remembrance.  Down oxford Tce, into hereford and then the Square before hanging left into Glucester and then New Regent.  We locked all the bikes together and then went into The Instituiton for drinks.  Played cards against humanities with first Mellonfarmer and MacGyver arriving shortly followed by Dozer.  Quick meeting and then continued playing.  About 9.45 we all headed out.  On the bikes Bus, the Cook and I headed down Manchester, Tuam, before splitting towards home at Barbadoes.  I headed over the bridge and returned via Shakespear and Opawa Rd.  Great sprint, great beer and great laughs.
