It was a really good ride. The wind was a bitch at the start and the end of the ride. Other than that everything was good, mabey next time we could go over the takas and take some of the back roads

Are these dead now?

I think so. Turn-out was appalling. A big factor might have been the weather. The first ride, it was very windy. The second ride I don't know, I wasn't able to attend. The third ride it was again very windy and looked like raining (until we got to the Wairarapa)
However, that doesn't have to stop anyone from putting their hand up and organising a ride, including myself.
The key is finding an interesting destination and having a bit of luck with the weather to get more that just 2 or 3 hardy fools turning up.
I don't mind the wind (adds interest) but understand that not everyone shares that same feeling.

Ohariu valley through to Makara and Karori, then back tio Johnsonville is only about 40 kms, but quite technical / taxing if people want a short ride.

Sounds like a goer. Ive never been past Porirua/Titahi Bay so dont know the place but would be keen to make the trip down to tag along with more knowledgable (of the area) riders.
