Arrive with a full tank of gas.

Assemble from 6:00pm

Depart at 6:30pm

These are informal easy-paced rides, ideal for learners and people new to Wellington to meet up and go riding.

The default ride is often over the Rimutakas to either the Tin Hut at Tauherenikau or the Red Pub in Featherston. But a final decision about destination is generally left to a group consensus prior to departure. Weather and road conditions on the Hill, combined with a Group Vibe, mean other destinations and routes are sometimes chosen.

There may be a couple of "practice" rides required prior to 27 September...

So That'll mean the first ride will be 30 Sept, yes?

Good work putting up a diversion thread.

Where will the real rides be leaving from?

[KrazyGixxerBoy]

Sounds good! Looking forward to the good weather!

[sinned]

Only a month to go! I should have recuperated and be ready for a ride by then.

Good work putting up a diversion thread.

Where will the real rides be leaving from?

Please explain.

Will we see you on the rides this season?

You may be right. They're doing us both a favour if they do.

There is a better chance than there has been for the last 3 years or so.

I am looking for a chance to weave through debris and downed riders. It's been a while.

If the numbers of people participating in these events gets too large, then it warrants splitting into two and taking different routes. There's no point in scaring the shit out of country publicans when a gazzillion bikers turn up at once demanding beverages and food.

I'm serious. Most Wairarapa country pubs gear up to handle about 15-20 locals for a beer of a Wednesday evening and probably less than a dozen meals. Thirty bikers rolling in and demanding wedges and ales is a little unfair.

I can smell the cynicism on your breath!

I didn't make any of these rides last season (another new kiddie/ new job etc etc - boo farkin hoo) but will try harder this year.

Should be more fun now that the double yellows have halved your available weave space.

I hope if you do you take it super easy! you'd cop so much crap if you ended up dropping it

That's just from the wife too!

Chapelli's in Featherston is really nice and I think they do their $10 menu on Wednesdays.

I reckon that would be a good place to descend on, especially if like me, you love Italian food.

[Maki]

It might be a good idea to call the place 2 or 3 days beforehand and warn them to expect 30 or so bikers on Wednesday night...
