I feel the urge for a Raglan ride

[Crisis management]

Been too long between drinks, have a think about it over the weekend and I will post up some dates next week. Triboy, we need to have chat over a beer or two, it's been a long time between meetings!

I'm talking about a social, shoot the shit sort of ride, not a macho "watch me climb this killer hill" sort of thing............. there's always the option of the "hold my beer and watch this"

cheers, hic

Iain

I think the 'Hold My Beer And Watch This' ride has a certain ring to it :yes:
Would be very keen for a Raglan ride, depending on dates :D

Mmmmm come to think of it there's a creek running through Triboys place:shifty: Mmmmm hold me drink i can get a run up from here:facepalm:

[Crisis management]

So, it's a quick loop to Raglan from Auckland ending at Triboys place then?

Maybe next weekend, saturday or sunday?

[tri boy]

Sounds good.
Got a few mattresses for those that find there riding boots have turned into stagger boots.

And the westpac chopper can land in the paddock, if Dino muffs his creek jump.:shit::scooter::ride::gob::thud::rofl:

I'd vote for the following weekend......

[Waihou Thumper]

Went for a little wander yesterday. Travelled around the back roads. Churchill Rd, Otuiti, Matakitaki, Baker Rd. Had lunch, then hit the Te Akau coast road and Waikaretu. Fantastic roads, all at our front doorstep....Pukerewa and Ruakiwi road through to Waingaro, awesome! Nice stretch of metal roads...
Thanks to the Franklin District Council for leaving some of the Limestown Downs road unsealed:)
I know you guys know these roads, so you will have a blast!

Next saturday, 5th november, leaving Papakura Autobahn at 8.00am and heading vaquely towards Raglan and Kawhia. The main plan is to allow time for a leisurely lunch at (probably) the Raglan pub to tell lies and catch up with whoever is there. :drinkup:


I realise this is the weekend for Clint's camp and the gravel riders at Taupo but it's the only one that suits me so apologies to any affected. :innocent:






I just need to re-assemble the 640..........................:facepalm:

[tri boy]

Noted. Probably meet up with you at Rags.
Hopefully Kanny isn'tworking that day either.
:sunny:

[Motu]

My tyres will be toast by then - but traction is way over rated anyway. I was going to buy tyres last week at Cycletreads 3 day sale,but my cat broke his leg on friday night and he cost 3 sets of tyres to fix. I should've reupholstered my seat in grey fur....Weather,work and pets permitting...

[Cary]

Working till 7am Sat morning so will zoom down SH22 & meet you at Raglan.

[Crisis management]

Ok, how about a 10.30 meet up at Raglan at the cafe on the corner opposite the pub and get going for 11 around the mountain or Kawhia and back for a late lunch at Raglan pub.
I'm working up a thirst already! :woohoo:

[Crisis management]

Buuump....








it probably won't rain much.

[MXNUT]

it probably won't rain much.

Is that the next Tui Ad, a ride organized by CM when it doesnt rain................ YEAH RIGHT :rolleyes:







Seriously though i will probably meet you guys somewhere on your way down before Te Akau, so if you can work out your route for the way down and post it up that would be great.

[Taz]

Damn my broken hand!!

I will post up something tomorrow night but I was thinking of going down the centre cause a lot of the coast road has got sealed.:(


Damn my broken hand!!

Bloody hell, I change the weekend to suit you and then you come up with some pathetic excuse not to come.....:baby:





How'd you do it?

[rogerh]

Crap!
I would have been keen, but taking the family for a ride in the Ureweras this weekend.

I see there is a few other rides on in the region before Christmas. Will try and make some of those....

Next time:(

[Crisis management]

Enjoy the ureweras' Roger, might be dampish, hope you've got good knobs on!

Mark, I'm planning on Onewhero, Ponganui road, Baker road, Pukerewa road, a bit of a loop around Matira and Waikorea valley roads the Te Akau. Not going down Te Akau South, instead going Te akau road to Ruakiwi and onwards to Raglan.

I will keep an eye out for you.

Anyone else coming, give me a hint so I can look out for you.....
