ATNR (Auckland Thursday night ride) - Discussion thread

**Qkchk:Me** · 2nd August 2006, 21:15

The ATNR (Auckland Thursday Night Ride) is a weekly social gathering starting with a 1-1/2hour Ride finishing with Dinner and Drinks.

What: A ride up some great backroads finishing with Dinner and Drinks

When: Every Thursday night after work (WEATHER PERMITTING!)

Where: Shell WESTGATE (end of the North Western Motorway)
Why: To meet other KBers, kick tyres and talk about Motorbikes

Time: Meeting there from 6.30pm, ride brief and departure @ 7pm
How: On ya bike, silly!

Pace: Open to all as long as you can do 100kph

IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT ABOUT WEATHER/RIDING CONDITIONS IT WILL BE POSTED UP HERE 5PM ON THE DAY OF THE RIDE.

With Winter riding, it is best practise to use clear visors - please keep the tints/irridiums for the summer riding! We will be riding in the dark, dont ya know! Wrap up warm, as you are at the risk of getting fatigued faster by the cold.

Weekly ride after work finishing off with Dinner and Drinks at BAR AFRICA Cnr of William Pikering Dr and Omega Place, Albany. Anyone who cannot come/not keen on riding is still very welcome to join us at the pub for a social get-together 8.30pm onwards (bring ya cage if ya want..)......

The route will be discussed on the night for a good reason

. The ATNR is known to the Police, so if you wish to do 140+ speeds, suggest you go and do it somewhere else.......For those concerned about distance/time the ride will last for approx 1hr - 1half and is around 70kms long. We start at Westgate and finish up at Albany. The route is changed from time to time depending on group numbers and road conditions.

I will not be responsible for people ending up at Wellsford due to not listening to instructions nor the pointer system failing..........
