Im normally done with work
Im normally done with work and dinner after 6:30 so if you dont mind evening rides i could be keen, also i have a handheld gps now so if anyone wants to see how fast there really going when they bomb hills let me know, would be keen to see who can set the fastest speeds round town, queen st, symonds ect,
Lots of Luck
Needed to get top speeds in the city. You have to really on the lights to be green the whole way so you can hold your tuck.
There is better places to try and get top speeds if thats what your after.
Would you be keen to do speed runs thursday night?
Meet at Cheapskates about 8:30pm and do the run under the bridge past the Gentleman's club?
Or the Shore for some 2km downhill madness.
Also anyone that wants to skate days post up as well.
Bond St
is always a good one for a short fast run, the traffics not normally too bad at night, i would be keen for a few runs tonight, see you at cheepskates
agreed, bond is a short fast
agreed, bond is a short fast run just watch out for the expantion joints on the bridge, and you can ride it bot directions
Today 1pm @ The Oaks,Albany
Im going to be riding at the Oaks at 1pm if anyone wants to join me.
Text me for the exact location all I can remember is all the roads in the subdivision start with Oak and its just up from Kristin School.

Bailing Tonight
Thundery Rain Forecast not fun to skate in
New Shore Spots
I usually don't post spots people have to come skate them with us as I hate people skating spots that have been shown to them without helmets but since I prob wont hit this first spot up that much.
If you like pumping, cruising around and dancing check out Freyberg Park/Sherwood Reserve . There is a path all around the fields but the fun bit is behind the fields where there is some more paths where the layout of the land is more rolling than flat. Nice mellow place.
Second spot is mini browns bay. This is the place to get your tuck fitness up before hitting its sister run. Pretty mellow and average pavement but is worn down so rides alright. There is a slight uphill 1/3 of the way down but Im sure a good tuck will get you over it. I wont name this one but I will be riding it properly either this weekend (aye speedy) or earlier next week to get a real idea about what its like. I only cruised down it today and the around 2km walk to the top meant I didn't really want to hit it again. I post when we are hitting it and a meeting point if people want to join in on the fun.
