Thank you to everyone who came along on our last LSD ride.  Everyone seemed comfortable with the pace.  Catriona and I are going to do another long slow ride from Memorial Park at 7.30 am on Sunday 9th Nov.We will ride approximately 90 km, once again at the pace of the slowest rider, so this is an ideal opportunity for slower riders to cover some distance in a group.  The intended route is Gillespies Line-Kairanga-Bunnythorpe Rd-Lockwood Rd-Hoihere Rd-Main Drain Rd-Taikorea-Glen Oroua-Rongotea-Kellow Rd-Penny Rd-Mt Stewart-Feilding-Palmerston North.
