Friday Night Ride

I haven't done any of the Friday Night rides lately but seeing as last night was the last one for this end of the year I decided that I'd show up for a quiet wind down after work.  As the DL had carried me to work she got to come along too.

When I got down to the bike shop where the ride leaves from there wasn't that many bikes there but pretty soon they started rocking in and by the time we were ready to go there was probably 30 bikes including 5 of those funny things with the incorrect number of wheels.

As the ride is just a short social outing Pauly had arranged a pretty basic route for us and at the briefing he let us know the route and things like using cornermen etc.

Just after 6pm we got underway and started to make our way across town.

From here I'll let the video snippets tell the story.  It was a pretty quiet ride up over the track, through to Mangamire and onto Pahiatua via Mangaone Valley Road before heading to Ashhurst via the Gorge.

In Ashhurst most stopped at the Inn for a drink and a natter before heading out into the cool night and the ride home.  A nice little after work peddle!
