Ride around Lake Taupo - 21st November 2009

[crazyhorse]

Hello to all KB bikers.


A number of us have discussed a ride around Lake Taupo. And as I (silly me) put my hand up, here goes.

At this stage, I think we'll be looking to meet by the pub on the corner (used to be the Red Barrell - me thinks) around 12ish. This should allow plenty of time for riders to come from every direction.

Have some lunch, :jerry::drinknsin and away we go.

Of course, I think it would be obvious to say "weather permitting" esp as we've just had snow here during the week :cold: - Hopefully November will be a wonderful weekend and not too cold or icy, but sunny, :sunny: dry roads and alot of fun :chase: :Police:

So come along and join us - We in HB are keen to do this ride.

:scooter:

Yip this sounds like a good plan, count me in, hey wait was this not my plan,
O well its all good anyway, lets go :msn-wink:

[crazyhorse]

Anyone keen to join this ride???? I know its a way off, but we need to plan it if theres gonna be good interest in it - otherwise it'll just end up being a HB ride:soon:

[Coldrider]

Sorry, be tearing the shit out of my cycle in the Souff, magpie & burt munro..:bleh::bleh::bleh::bleh:that week, more of these :bleh::bleh::bleh:

[Dooly]

Okey doke, sounds good.
Can you make sure no :Police: on the Taupo Rd.<_<

[crazyhorse]

We'll do our best, but cannot guarantee there won't be any :Police:

Be a great way to meet other KB'ers from around the Country :msn-wink:

Will that leave us enough time? The last time we rode around the lake we left early, Taupo for Breakfast, Turangi for lunch (mind you that was a waste of time, place just about all closed), stop back at Taupo for an icecream on the lakefront and then home by about 5pm so was a full day.
Do you remember that ride Tony????? :jerry:

Will be keen on that if it's on the 28th! In Karamea on the annual Buell rally the weekend before:clap:

You are aware that that is the day the Wattyl Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge is on.

Taupo is going to be pretty busy to say the least, and the shortest route around the lake is going to be full of cyclists (such as myself and kiwifruit) pedaling our asses off to try and get around all 160km of the lake.

I think we need to find another date. The road will be full of cyclists, marshalls and :Police:

[2wheeldrifter]

Yes very keen... I see that date seems to be very very busy... Crazyhorse was kind enough to throw that date open at a friendly request as I do shift work and for the few that I work with who ride as well... Thank you :2thumbsup

Can suggest the 21st Nov? or 5th of Dec? both Saturdays.

Be warned y'all this is the weekend of the cycle classic as well so uber bicycles will be hogging the roads and gaggling out on tight bends-
Add it to the ride brief at least team

I have spread the word and I think we will have a few interested in the ride. Manly for the lunch but you never know. Should be a cracker day and about time we all got out as a group.
