Thursday Rides are back! …well they never left really. Last week was solid ride and a good turn out too. We mixed it up a bit last week and rode to The Hutt, loaded up with pizza and beer then rode back. For a change the rain didn’t show up till after the ride. Its amazing how chill a motorway ride is without traffic and wind.
Here’s a shot Tim took after the ride (a couple of riders from the night missing here)
Tim took a few other photos, expect a couple of bike checks surfacing soon
Grant filmed this up at the Recent PNFixed Ride or Die Criterium. Enjoy.
Heres a few piccys from bike polo yesterday. Crazy fun and good group of guys. Sounding like it will be a every Saturday afternoon. Definitely worth getting along to ! Looks pretty funny, but most fun I’ve had riding for a while.
Soo the reiker build is going very slow.. struggling to find parts and have very low funds. however! i just finished this. this has been my daily runner for the last few months and was built from my spare parts bin for a long time. i decide it needed its own set of parts and this is the result. This is probably my favourite bike ive owned so far. has a good balance of loks strength speed stiffness. not the best at anything but definitely an allrounder. anyway. enjoy!
