SMC ride Monday 23 November

[Ragingrob]

EDIT: Ride moved due to shit weather. Weather looks good for tomorrow MONDAY 23 NOVEMBER
, so far there are a few of us keen to do the coro then with a nice early start, will update final details here.

Meet from 8am at Autobahn to leave at 8:30 to do the route as planned, should be back into Auckland around 2pm I'd think with no stuffing round. Meant to be sunshine!!! See y'all there!!!



:sunny:

Exams finish next week. The weather's getting better and better. Time to ride!

Who: Anybody in the SMC crew, or friends of... If you have to ask then you're not included. This route is technical and is a long day's riding, absolute newbies will not be welcome, L-plate riders are welcome if you have a lot of open road experience (we should know you, so just ask what we think). Those with new bikes should think twice about how comfortable they are on their baby before making their decision.

Any size bike is welcome, it is not a race and I will not venture from signposted limits. Nobody will be left behind.

Egos/Bullshit not welcome. If you ride like a twat we will tell you to fuck off.

Where: Coromandel loop! Direction yet to be decided. This ride is about 400km all up and will take most of the day including our lunch break.

You townies can meet at Uni at your own time.


Here is the map - http://maps.google.co.nz/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Southern+Mwy&daddr=kopu+to:coromandel+to:-36.879621,175.674133+to:kopu+to:Southern+Mwy&hl=en&geocode=Fbgjyv0dl05tCg%3BFWmeyP0dH_12CilNV_HgMn5yb TGdF0cQV2ENvw%3BFUEqz_0dlvN1Cim9gcDVJvFybTHR88QYYC z9pA%3B%3BFWmeyP0dH_12CilNV_HgMn5ybTGdF0cQV2ENvw%3 BFbMiyv0dVU5tCg&mra=dpe&mrcr=2&mrsp=3&sz=9&via=3&sll=-36.947697,175.490112&sspn=0.932895,1.799011&ie=UTF8&ll=-36.967449,175.454407&spn=0.932653,1.799011&z=9

We can aim for Coroglen pub for lunch unless anybody else has a good idea, this is about halfway around so will be a good place to have a good rest, drink and bite to eat.

When: Sunday the 22nd of November.

Meet at Autobahn from 9:30am to LEAVE at 10:00am

Don't plan anything else during the day.




I'll point everybody to the group ride guide - http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=107628

I expect everybody to be comfortable with the guidelines provided here as a general way of thinking. Although numbers should stay relatively low and everybody should recognise faces so we aren't riding with complete strangers. RIDE YOUR OWN RIDE.



Organising leaders/TECs depends entirely on numbers, so please post up in this thread if you intend on coming AND put your name down in the poll so I can plan ahead.

BBQ/Beach to be done later in summer after I (or anybody else) have scoped things out.

I fully can't wait for this ride as the start of summer holidays!!!

Sweet weather should be ok tomorrow I reckon, be good if it ain't too hot!!!

See you all at Autobahn from 9:30am to LEAVE at 10:00am

I'm pretty keen to head round anti-clockwise but we can decide that at the start.

First stop Kopu for a quick fuel up and regather, may be one or two people that are meeting us there too.

See ya in the morn!!!

[gavjn]

this is the 1st autobarn on the left yea? was some confusion last time i went...

[zzzbang]

By the way, what time and where are the people meeting at uni tomorrow?

[Ragingrob]

Yep just after Papakura exit on the left with bp and maccas.

[gavjn]

gangs!!! c u guys there, gona b a long day today ><

[Real_Wolf]

this SH2 or some point before it, as in do I have to hop off the motorway south only to hop back onto it? I think I know where you mean but not completely sure

[motorbyclist]

this SH2 or some point before it, as in do I have to hop off the motorway south only to hop back onto it? I think I know where you mean but not completely sure

it's the southern autobahn; just like the silverdale one with it's own dedicated on/offramps but on SH1 headed south

[Real_Wolf]

oh, that place, the rest stop like one. Pretty sure I know the place

[Ragingrob]

oh, that place, the rest stop like one. Pretty sure I know the place

As I said, it's on the left straight after the Papakura offramp about 1km further, on the motorway. With the big bp that has solar power.

:banana:

Weather forecast keeps changing, hoping for the best, if it's raining at the start we can make a decision then.

[Dare]

[gavjn]

[Ragingrob]

Sup I'm home now. Weather is definitely better out here than in town, just spitting, roads pretty wet though.

It's definitely forecasted to clear up pretty early on in the day eh, so I'm thinking we could rain check for 11 or 12 if you guys are keen? Based on how the weather's going.

[gavjn]

Jst got word from parents in pauanui, weathers prety shit down there to, low clouds, grey nd very overcast.

Weather fail

[gavjn]

Couple hours can make a big difference. I'll update here at 10 see what I reckon.

I mean sure it's overcast etc here and looks crap but it ain't even raining. If the roads were dry I'd still be going!

Remember those of us up here on the shore will take ~ an hour to get down to you (yes, I doubt it'll take that long, but its a safety margin)

Yep all good update will just be how weather's looking, can meet an hour after that, not looking too flash though.

Weather looks to be pretty damn good out coromandel way tomorrow... Any of you free tomorrow? I'd be keen for a nice early start, say 8am, if it's sunny like forecasted it'll be mint.

[Real_Wolf]

We'll leave at 8:30am so if you get there at 8:29am s'all good :2thumbsup

So far I count 5 of us :chase:

[Squiggles]

For those who still don't know where the "Autobahn" we're referring to is... see here (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Motordrome+Service+Area&sll=-37.087707,174.939637&sspn=0.0041,0.006813&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Motordrome+Service+Area,+Drury,+Auckland+211 3,+New+Zealand&ll=-37.08644,174.935431&spn=0.008199,0.021801&t=h&z=16&iwloc=A)

[Real_Wolf]

k, I think we'll plan to leave the bottom of onewa at about 8, maybe a bit before, so we'll probably be hitting the autobahn at pretty much bang on 8:30 unless we get major traffic.

Rayray wanna meet us there, say 7:50?

Sweet well since it's low numbers and I know who's coming then we can wait if people get held up, but yeah just try be as early as possible seeing most of us wanna be back by some time, should be all good anyway though!

If Rayray's keen that makes 6 of us :woohoo:

[Rayray401]

ffs, 8am at autobahn? thats abit cruel, i should be there though. Hopefully. If not, dont wait up. hmm, why not make it 9 @ autobahn at least? where we going for a ride? still coro loop? :D

Yep coro loop :2thumbsup

That's why it's so early... Gotta be back these ways by kinda 3 at the latest and the ride's over 400km long + breaks + lunch.

[Rayray401]

hmm, ok, I'm not really sure where autobahn is still, but if i keep going i'll see a huge sign saying rest+stop+food in 1 km or something?

Haha I dunno, the bottom of Onewa somewhere I guess. I dunno Onewa at all. I'm sure Real Wolf will give the exact location later tonight. So you'd be meeting them there at 7:50 and getting to Autobahn just before 8:30

:scooter:

[zzzbang]

c u then!

[zzzbang]

you better make it, ive only seen you on your 250, want to see the 600 :p

[motorbyclist]

Isn't meeting at the bottom of the southern motorway at 8am on a monday morning a bit stupid?

seriously, you'll all spend atleast twice as long getting there and have about 100 times the risk of plastering your bike across the back of an SUV, compared to say 10am. leaving later means the roads might be a tad drier, you'll all have had your beauty sleep, and shit some of you may have even managed to have breakfast!



Pussies.


yeah I reckon - even out on my dirtride everyone fucken chickened out and when the rain actually started the rest all went home! It was just me and the few other Men out on the tracks while the marshalls tried to close them all early

[zzzbang]

may just be me, coming from a dry country and all.. but riding in the rain in a place like coro just doesnt work for me. mudslides, slippery roads, half-blinded oncoming traffic.. no thanks

[gavjn]

ZOMG look at the weather :banana:

[zzzbang]

im leaving now, meet u guys there

We have to be back early arvo, meeting 10am would fail with that in mind.

Yeah pity everyone lives on the shore or out west!!! If they didn't have to go into the city first i.e. lived central it would be fine, there shouldn't be any traffic on the southern motorway...

[Ragingrob]

Not bad weather for a fuken ride eh. See ya there!

[shingo]

Haven't left yet, might be a bit late :pinch:

[PirateJafa]

Fookin' mint day for a cruise.

[Ragingrob]

I dunno eh, a few more log trucks, gravel shite 50k zones and roadworks and I decided to take it easy since boosting it just ment jamming on the brakes 5 seconds later XD Ended up going to the first mobil instead of the second so i prob wouldnt have missed you by that much if I knew where I was going! Plus I was riding my own ride ;) :whistle:
