The other Feb 19/02/06 AKL to Paeroa ride for BOS (spectators)

**Drunken Monkey** · 25th January 2006, 22:38

(Actually I appear to be in first this year.)

This is the one that caters to those of us who enjoy sleeping in and still have the ability (or at least think we have) to do the late run to Paeroa via the Clevedon/Miranda loop to turn up sometime shortly after the racing begins.

As per previous years, we don't want to miss too much, so we won't be sticking around. (SpankMe can tell you all about his birdstrike incident).

I can collect people at Caltex/BK Mt Wellington for a 9:15 depart, but the official meet up will be the usual place:

What: The 2006 Pearoa battle of the streets spectators late run, that's what!
Where: Shell Clevedon.
When: Meet up from 9:40 or so for a 10:00am departure.
How: Looping via Kaiaua/Miranda and finishing at Paeroa.
Special Instructions: Meet new KB'ers and organise your own way home.
Special Instructions for Nhuanh: Don't be a plonker this year.

The 'normal' meeting place & place to dump gear actually at the races is on the "grassy knoll" overlooking the hairpin.

There is normally another ride that leaves around 8:30 or so for those who prefer a more direct route and/or sedate pace. I'm sure the ride details will be posted soon (hint, hint).

Nhuan's check list.

1: Ensure it is a Daewoo free route taken
2: Spare Key ductaped to fore-head (we can assist it the fitting)
3: Rear cowl ductaped on, NOT TO BE REMOVED.

I think that will cover it.

This ride sounds like me. Finishing night shift at 6am (hopefully) and can get a couple of hours kip before heading to Paeroa.

Damnit, women are always telling me no means yes. Make up your damn mind.

The Tauranga crew (hopefully Rotovegas too) might stop in at Kopu for gas on the way through... if your heading through Ngatea we wont see ya, if your not we might get lucky.

Don't need to wait around for us, we go via Ngatea. Sometimes the tail enders do seem to get lost and end up in Kopu, but they're big enough and ugly enough to look after themselves...
