Anyone keen to join me for a run up Muriwai beach on Saturday?
Low tide is 11:20am so should be good to go for the morning. I was thinking I probably head up South head and onto the beach at Wilson Road (http://maps.google.co.nz/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=wilson+road&sll=-36.606054,174.300714&sspn=0.028732,0.061369&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Wilson+Rd,+Helensville+0874&ll=-36.618559,174.286766&spn=0.118353,0.245476&t=h&z=13), do a rip up to the top of the beach, then back down and out at Muriwai or Rimmers Road.
Newbies more than welcome, will be a slow paced ride to match up with the 60kph speed limit on the beach.
Meeting points can be established once we have some numbers.

:2thumbsup
Might need some sand skills before I try that again LOL
I believe I saw a 20kph sign on the beach! What is the speed limit?
Is it really 60?

Since you are coming up from the south (of the Bombays) we might as well make it a lateish start then, how about 10:30am outside Cycletreads in Barrys Pt Road (http://maps.google.co.nz/maps?q=cycletreads&hl=en&cd=1&ei=R2O1TO_DLJuovAPKzdz3Cw&sll=-36.857711,174.745376&sspn=0.148567,0.410067&ie=UTF8&view=map&cid=6814396901446957276&ved=0CCgQpQY&hq=cycletreads&hnear=&ll=-36.795694,174.765905&spn=0.007165,0.014098&z=17&iwloc=A).
I can show you the fun way to get out to Muriwai and sneak our way through Chatham Road see if we can get stuck.
That reminds me, need new rear tire. A job for tomorrow.

Hey Taz
sorry man I am going to have to bail on this one. Frikken work (usually I would fuck-em and go riding but I have not been working much over the last few months, so I really need to get into the work when I can).
Name a day if you want to. I will be keen.
.chris
18th October 2010, 11:14

Anyone have his number please?

Sorry, real dick-move on my part, will buy you a beer sometime.
I did call the servo and see if you were waiting, but they said you weren't ( even left a message incase they saw you).
How was the ride anyway?
Taz
18th October 2010, 17:52
The girl at the servo came out when I arrived and gave me your message. She seemed very apologetic. I carried on with the original plan and went up the beach and off at rimmers. Then off to old north road and chatham rd. Mounted the video cam to the bike and took some good footage but it seems where I had it mounted was too close to the bike electrics as the picture gets wobbly as the revs increase :facepalm:. Will edit it and post the good bits up.
