Sounds like a pran.

Up to Waipu the back way, eh. Via the pub at wozzaname (begins with an M, y'know the one, y'turn off after Wellsford, at the place begins with H ). Then onward through the back way where it's all twisty.

Te Hana . Thatz the place. Knew it began with an H. And Mangawhai is the other place. Good road. Very safe, only once ever seen a snake on it.

Then up the coast over that big hill , very twisty, also very safe. Langs summit or other. Beach, cove, heads summit.

BTW , did you brew that beer yourself? If you did , you should keep at it, it was a damn good drop.

Turn off before Wellsford at Wayby Valley rd or if you're coming out at the of SH16, turn left in Wellsford township, then ride about a K up the road and turn right at the top of the hill (Matheson rd)..then follow the sign posts.
Or....its not my ride so can you can go whichever way you want.

Looks like a decent run, will get my legwarmers and spandex out provided all the bugs have been ironed out of my motor. Thank God for part time work, most of my weekends have been freed up.

Yeah, that's a really good route to get to Mangawhai. It's pretty nice, especially once you get up to where you can spot the ocean on the hills.

So where we meeting for the start point? Still tossing up what to bring on the ride (eeny, meeny, miny, mo sort of thing).:innocent:

My girl has been drafted into work on Saturday leaving me a few hours of glorious man-time! :woohoo:

all of the above mate, i will be waiting for everyone at every turn off point so you wont get lost, but if you do just head north to wellsford and we will meet up at the petrol station there. (just stay on SH16).

If you are a fast rider, please learn the route and head off a little bit early and meet us up at wellsford / waipu so you don't pressure the rider behind you, or use dodgy overtaking manuovers. If I see any dodgy skidmark shit, I will ask you to tone it down and (if bad enough) i'll ask you to go home.

Please remember to ride your own ride, don't put yourself under pressure to ride fast if you don't have the skills and experience to back it up. I have seen a lot of people crash because they are scared of getting left behind. everyone is to ride their own ride.

10am leaving at 10.30amish

That's still awfully early, but I guess it's doable, with liberal values of ish in 1030ish.

At what point do you plan to get lost, in case I have to catch up?

BTW , i assume this one does not include a cattle herding component? I ask only in the interests of bike selection. And Mr Joe, you ought not to be hesitating in the least. How can you treat your poor neglected , loving Daisy with such disdain?

If I could bodge a caliper in time I would even bring my arzhole to keep her company, but I fear that distance with a locked on front brake is a bit much.

No gravel for this ride. (keeping it retard friendly) and just remove the front brake, its only extra weight.

Also, is there some kind of procedure for joining the AUSMC or just show up to a meet and introduce one's self?
