Round Ruahine Range Ride

Back by popular demand. Last years ride here (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/90693-RRRR-(Round-Ruahine-Range-Ride)-March-7th-8th)

Two day adventure ride. Big bike friendly. Some gravel road riding experience required please.

Date = March 6th and 7th (TBC)

Start = Woodville (hit the road at 9am). Can pick up some riders from Ashhurst (9.30ish). There is gas at Ashhurst.

Saturday = Ride over the Saddle Road to Ashhurst. Ride north up Pohangina Valley, with a side trip up Takapari road. Back roads through to Taihape for lunch. Ride over the Taihape/Napier road (Gentle Annie) with a couple of little side trips into the Kaweka's if time.

Stay = Mangatutu hot springs (tent). Negotiable. How about we see who's keen. Softy's can stay in Napier.

Sunday = In to Taradale for gas and brunch. Ride south to Woodville taking the coastal route. Ride up Whariti for lookout finish, or have a quiet pootle along North Range Road.

Distance = 550km total (large tank required, 250km 'ish')

If we get good weather, there will be spectacular views. Bring a camera.

This will be a leisurely ride with many stops. 50% winding seal, 45% gravel, 5% track. There's a bit of everything, without going overboard.

Who's in? (I'll sort out a calander thingy when I get around to it).

Hopefully I'll make it along to this as well, an interesting variety of riding doing a loop around there.

Cheers Howie. You can show us the way. I have a habit of getting lost, and I think you know the roads better than I do.

Hi Bart, As the Starter of the thread for this years ride, Maybe you should contact a Moderator, or senior Mod and explain why it should be a separate thread as they refer to different rides, in different years, with different routes and accomodation options.

2nd February 2010, 20:51
