Hi guys,

If the weather is good wanna go Cycletreads early morning and then head back to auckland through coatesville-riverhead hwy?

Gotta get to half-moonbay at 12pm-ish. So planning to leave city 8:40am, get to cycltreads 9am and probly it's done by half hour then take wairau rd, albany hw, main rd, coatesville-riverhead.

Umm is it possible to go through that road within 2hour? Can't remember how long that took us to get to Albany last time...

I won't be back till 10pm ish tonight but post here if you are keen to come with me!

Btw only if weather is good, I don't wanna go there if road is wet :pinch:

Jump back onto the motorway at Akoranga/Esmonde from cycletreads and get off at Greville rd. Wairau's probably not so much of a problem early on a Sunday morning, but atleast the motorway has no traffic lights. Save yourself a few minutes if you're in a hurry.

love to go with ya, but I think that I probably should ride as little as possible with my back wheel as it is, until I get it fixed

I can't take motorway for few reasons... I will take motorway when I have to i.e. when I'm going to Cycletreads and way back from Westgate.

Carb problem and L-plate don't go well on motorway :pinch:

I'd sort of do the "in your face" thing, but the weather is bad for me too... first ride today on the bike... interesting to see what happens with the weather - and the bike. :banana:

it feels like I DO drift the corners some times, because I can feel the back wheel being unsteady

took off from some lights, but forgot i was on the r6...

suffice to say 3/4 throttle on r6 is a bit more juice than on the viffer

and it was dry too!
