Post and add…
- Conquer Harbourview
- Wainuiomata Road Shuttles (into Wainui)
- Days Bay, Wharf Jump, Beers, Ride on home
The nights have been excellent for rides lately, especially in the absence of the wind. New kid on the block Fred was out with his MASI (first fixed ride) and Grant chucked on his Aerospoke he won recently for a spin…12hrs later check out what it looks like now
No BS, No frontin’, Just riding!
Great to see numbers week in and week out! Through Rain, wind, whatever!
Last nights group ride was around the bays, around the airport to lyall bay up the hill and bomb down constable street to “The Office”
Get my cast off next thursday woo!! Hopefully the plates hold her together good. Then its a long physio run (about 6 months) before shell be working sweet again. I like to think as my self now as a cross between iron man and wolverine. hence why ive grown a beard too.
See you on the streets soon hopefully!!!
Grant.
Group of us went for a ride around the bay, starting from our usual meet spot at Civic square along the motorway, through Petone then to Eastborne. We stopped at Days bay for lunch and hung out at the local primary school for a BMX/scooter jam session.
O yeah – We all took the ferry back while Jordan decided to ride back after a dip in the sea…Crazy Canadian..
well typing in bed is a mission so ill keep this short.
taxi van ran me off the road and this is the result…
landed on my hand then face planted.
ambulance ride to wellington hospital. once there this was clear:
after a night in surgery 2 plates 12 screws and alot pain, now i look like this:
still have alot of pain and stuck in bed but i will be right.. get a new cast in a week..
big thanks to Adam and all the boys.
and a big thanks to Wils, the nurse that picked me up off the side walk..
Wow great turn out on day one of All Track, and great to see 6 of us on the first day too!
no stories – just photos for now! chur. check them out…more after the jump
ok guys.. update on the bike…
nobody will fix the forks of fear of them failing after repairs so there gone.
head tube is bent backward so there maybe hair line cracks or its just bent. small kink under the headtube = bent.
rear wheel that i took in yesterday = stripped threads on my campag record low flange hub
front wheel is not true.. dents and massive chunk taken out of the rim.. hub is not running smooth Wheel will need full rebuild possibly onto new rim with possibility of damage to the campag hub.
possible to get the bike running again… new forks and new wheels set.. although the head tube is gonskies so if i ever crash again the bike will probably explode into a million pieces.
my thoughts thus far is.. leave the bike hanging up in my room and build a new bike.. ideally i will need to get the whole head tube redone and re brazed.. being a poor uni student this may not be possible for a few years.. so say hello to my new decoration…
Knees feeling alright today.. quite stiff… no riding today thats for sure.. even if i did have a bike!
Damn the $10 mountain bike!!!
nice and tight!!
Dont Worry ill be back.. with something bigger and better.. haha one day.. see you all next thursday! hopefully for a ride!
Me and Adam went for a sweet ride on sunday.. i turned up to civic square and saw this amazing whip from a mile away.. hopefully bike check on it soon. has to be seen to be believed.
anyway check the pics.. the little that were taken. was good fun.. got lost on the way home though and ended up at Davis Foods!!! Yus haha.
Cheers, Grant.
Bear with me this is my first post so ill see how it goes..
