**Maverick** · 10th August 2006, 10:11

Hey Guys,

A chance for anyone central/east in Auckland who feels like meeting up and going for a ride somewhere, Sunday morning weather permitting, probably around 10,
Primarily aimed at 250's and beginners, but hey, all welcome

Any Ideas shout out,

Mav

Update: Meeting 10amish at BP Botany, see the link in post #9 if you dont know where it is All welcome, drop me a pm if you know a good route and let us know if you plan on turning up so we know how many to expect

At that time on a Sunday morning Lloyd Ellsmore has a decent sized car park that is generally empty enough for bikes to congregate. Botany Town Centre and Westgate Pakuranga will be starting to fill up with happy shoppers at that time of day. I'll need to ask the missus for permission though but I'd be keen. Don't want to give away any ideas of a route in case mr plod wants to stake out the route to catch me doing 75kph with an L plate on!

Yeah, Lloyd Ellsmore sounds good to me, perhaps PM me any route ideas?
I have my R test at 0730 that morning, so all going well I hopefully wont have to worry about the L plate anymore

Best of luck with your test - I've still got 2 and a half months of Learner Hell with the yellow target on my arse.

**Hellraiser** · 10th August 2006, 12:15

why not make the meet BP Botany as everyone knows where that is ?

**Maverick** · 10th August 2006, 12:59

BP Botany? I know where Shell Botany is?

**McJim** · 10th August 2006, 13:07

Sorry Hellraiser - I'm being genuine here - where is BP Botany?

There used to be one on Botany Road near Pakuranga Golf club but that's now part of Buy Right Cars.

Is there another BP nearby?

**Maverick** · 10th August 2006, 14:43

Otherwise we could meet by the car wash at Shell Botany downs?
