Hi guys I will be riding from Welli to Taupo on the weekend of March 15/16. Anyone interested in joining me?

Could quite possibly be up for that.

Pm me some details..

**DingoZ** · 22nd February 2008, 07:00

And in response to your PM.

Come along to one of the Cruisy Wednesday Night Rides. Heaps of fun. Meet lots of friendly riders. We meet - go for a ride - have something to eat - then we go for another ride (home)....

Check out the thread for details

Hmmm ... I could be on for that too. It depends if you were planning on going up SH1 (count me out) or going a more 'interesting' way. I can't confirm yet because Nasty will have just got back from her 6 day round the NI Herceptin ride a couple of days before

You'd better take a puncture repair kit

Sooo ... Weaver ...

... you coming on this ride?

**Weaver** · 22nd February 2008, 14:46

Cliff hanger that weekend.

You should come along for a watch.

**DingoZ** · 22nd February 2008, 17:36

I think the OP has plans, hence the reason for heading to Taupo.

I'm either going to go along for a ride to Taupo and back or will be staying at home. Undecided yet. For those that are not interested in going to the "Cliff Hanger", this is an alternative...

Hi guys, I am not very good organizing things, so I am happy with any decision you guys make. I don't mind what way or road you want to go, I will enjoy any of them. I am going to Taupo to meet some friends and camping for some days, so I won't be coming back with U. cheers

Why not camp out at the Rapa Rumble on the night of the 15th, on your way through ?

Diego, you've done ok so far

Are you ok with us extending the ride and maybe involving the Manawatu, Wairarapa and Hawkes Bay crews?

Dingoz and I are hatching a plan to do the "900k Loop" of Wellington, Wairarapa, Ormondville, SH50, Taradale, Taupo, Western Lake, Taihape, Pemberton, Feilding, Shannon, Wellington = 897km. I'm just waiting for clearance from the Social Secretary (who will have just arrived back from a 2000k 6-day ride).

If it's a doer, we'll spread the word
