Kapiti Coast Saturday Ride. 5th Dec

[Bren]

During the Kapiti Coast Thursday night cruises we have often talked about doing weekend runs. So time to get the ball rolling and get a weekend run going. Would be nice to go round the block and have lunch somewhere in the 'rapa...What I would like to do is go from Paraparaumu over the piecock, then over the Rimutakas, then Martonborough and back roads to Masterton, then over the Paihiatua track and back to Paraparaumu...Total of about 330km all up

We could pick up wellingtonians along the way if some were keen to meet us at maybe the Duckpond in the Hutt....

Anyway is any one keen to do this loop with me next weekend???

Meeting point in P'ram would be the same as the thurs night rides...i.e outside The Warehouse at Coastlands....Hopefully roll at 9am

Just found out Central Districts Toyrun is on in the same day
Might have to see bout getting to Fielding by 1pm to tag along with that

Learner Friendly? Or is it for those who are slightly more Experienced?

Well, I wont be pushing the envelope, ask the guys on the thurs night rides...they all know I go slow...
Have ya got an "L" Plate? or are you on restricted?

[Hopeful Bastard]

'L' Plate :(

Damn thing.. Had me freaking out today when the cops were coming the other way lol. I dont think Policeman like 90k's for a learner :woohoo:

[hmmmnz]

back in my day it was 80.... but then we didnt need l plates, and the police didnt care anyway

Yup, I remember them days well.....

[Hopeful Bastard]

70 is just way to dangerous on the main roads.. I try to stick on 80km.. Tad safer.. Still dangerous imho..

thats why i dont run an L plate, less likely to get pulled! been stoped twice at check points and 1ce for failing to stop at a stop sign and they never said a thing about no L :lol:

[Hopeful Bastard]

Oops.. Modifying Thread.. I thought this was about meeting tomorrow >.<

Anyway, If i do a group ride, I will keep the L on the bike.. Mainly so that people can see i am a Learner and treat me a tad bit nicer lol

[chanceyy]

Bren if you want can look at doing toy ride then either flicking out for a nice wee scoot around mangamarie back of pahiatua, ballance etc .. or V hill & Halcombe (bit further out of course)

will be at toy ride first though :)

Damm I start work at 4pm on the 5th otherwise I would be in.
Hopeful this would be a very good ride to learn on but also its a ride kinda set up for people that like the twisty stuff. Just ride to your own pace over, Like Bren does :)
The P Track has taken many rider for a skittle so be extra careful on that its very easy to run to hot into a corner.

Bren I was thinking of setting up a poker run for that ride could you let me know what sort of time frame you get to places please.

How did the ride go? Couldn't make it due to work commitment:bash:

Full report please?

[HappyGOriding]

It was a good day out. Just the three of us on the day. Both the piecock and rimatakas run was great, hardly any traffic and we cut back through mangamaire before heading over to feilding to join up with the toy run.

All in all bloody good trip round the block:yes:
