So Steve you know for a fact that
250 people got arrested for doing even less than that
ie lighting up
I think it might be nice to see the facts rather than "opinions" before we leap to these peoples defenseIn fact that statment is as silly as the one that because they have been selling for years that's ok
It may be knowledge but that defense doesn't work once you are past three years of age dude. -
David we have all done dumb things
"That seemed like a good idea, at the time!"
Well I have and so it would seem have you
Put it down to experience and thank theour Lady of the Blessed Sprinkler.
that no real damage was done

and about 50 riders, young and old,
And this in the middle of the school holidays, shame on you Auckland
We had a bike day here and from a population of a couple of thousand got 150+ out on their bikes
Time for you all to get off your arses and get out on your bikes -
Thank you for that Graeme, it looks good although I really feel the second question has some flavour of a red fish/herring
I do like the thought that anybody can join in the advertising war but we (the voters) will know who is trying to screw the scrum
That certainly didn't work last time
We live in intersting times

Jack, it can be done in one day but there are a fair number (12-13)of country pubs to go past
Also the surface is gravel, mostly good but occassional poor, best days average speed (excluding rehydration stops etc) 18kph -
Regarding the Otago rail trail, if you think you might like it, do it
No one I have spoken to regrets it; it really does live up to the hype
A couple of pointers, autumn (March- April) is the best time; we booked through an agency and had the luck to pick up a cancellation.
The high lights were the scenery (think Grahame Sydney) and the people
You travel in pulse, from pub to pub mostly,having all left at a similar time with the same nightly destination, accordingly you really get to know your fellow travellers
Fortunately the locals have not got tired of tourists and are very friendly although we as a group had local contacts at all the stops that gave us a better insight than most people getLike I say at the top if you are thinking about it just do it
I am going to -
Just spent the last few days flogging around Central Otago on a bike
It is still a serious summer there with 28-32 deg days
Perfect, and the radler beer and local pinot noir (Rockburn naturaly) went down a treat
if you have ever though you might like to try the rail trail do it you will not be dissapointed, maybe a little tired but training should help with that

Unfortunatly the link for the NZ Fabian Society doesn't work for me
How about Mike Smith giving us an outline of exactly what they stand for before we start discussing the subject
A google search threw up some strange results -
Typical of the lefties, changes the rules and questions half way through my answering

Good to see you are posting again Fiona
When your partner (The Owner as he is sometimes called) mentioned you had blown your Achillies playing tennis, post chistmas I just felt sick for you. Been there, done that etc
The up side is you should have more time to post?
So let's hear more
