hayleyearth Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 Deal. Let's do it then... If there is a group of you that are keen to 'do it for fun', I will be keen too!I am not up to a good fitness at this moment, but I think I can have some fun and enjoy a beer or 2 at the end We are trying to get our little girl use to us doing all sorts of outings (hence the Hauraki trail adventure last weekend). I think it is good for her to see us participating and mingling with people.

patches Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 So everyone in the construction business in NZ...seems like I will be joining you folk in March You should have spoken to us first, we would have advised against it Ok, it's not that bad! Which side of the industry? Design consultancy, contractor, or client?
intern Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 One of my buddies is trying to entice me to do this - given that 'Wh' is pronounced 'F' I'm wondering about the name... https://www.whaka100.co.nz/index.html 100km (that doesn't worry me), 3200m ascent (given what I've seen of NZ, that worries me...) Just wait 'til you see the Whaka-Local T-shirts. davetapson 1

Wayne Potgieter Posted February 16, 2020 Author Posted February 16, 2020 To all the kiwi peeps. On TVNZ on demand is a series called “people on bikes” that profiles great kiwi rides around the country. It’s worth a watch! Saag and hayleyearth 2

My bikes are still so so dusty from the last tripno man. You put your stuff in a big dry bag that comes with the trailer. I attached an image without the bag so you could see the structure. Lol- you are such an engineer. V12man and Wannabe 2

Adjustments.jpg Just a comment, I think the way that mounts onto your frame will be **** if you want to lie your bike down at a stop where there isnt a tree or other support to have your bike stand up. The one sided connection with the spring thingy is way better, the two has independent movement. Wayne Potgieter 1

hayleyearth Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Has anyone here in NZ bought some some nice panniers for a bicycle that can carry a laptop and keep it dry and clean? (Or maybe you have seen some somewhere?)
