For anyone curious it’s the Te Awa River Ride.
Even though Hamilton tends to be the butt of jokes, we find it a pretty decent place to live. Unfortunately, the council is facing money issues and cutting back services/projects/maintenance for the coming years while we also get pretty big rates rises. I’m really hoping the place doesn’t fall into disrepair :(
I haven’t done the trail myself (I don’t own a bicycle, hoping to change that this year!), but might try to if I get around to getting a decent bike
Be a shame if something happened to it. (jk)
It’s an old joke derived from American mafia movies where they’re demanding “protection” money from a business owner. They say stuff like “you got a real nice shop here… be a shame if something happened to it. If you pay me, my boys will make sure it doesn’t mysteriously burn down one night.”
