Bikers in Cambridge?

[Grant`]

Locating that way in the near future and interested to know what, if any bike scene is down that way? or whether I will have to travel further a field to meet up with like minded people to go riding with i.e Hamilton.

Hamilton Honda do rides Thursday nights in the warmer months and laxed out rides are most Sundays, they have their very own thread on here. Hamilton m/c do RAT rides on a regular basis, not too worried if you ride a triumph. And lots of others I don't know about.

I take it most of those rides head out from Hamilton though?

Keep an eye on this thread for regular rides http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/99556-Laxed-out-rides/page124

It is quite possible to do it in a lot less time than that...:devil2:

Cambridge is really only a suburb of Hamiltron anyway...:innocent:

"Town of Trees" I believe it is named.

yeah I kind of figured Hamilton would be the closest although I can always catch up with the boys from Tauranga.

[Geeen]

Thats one of the best things about living here, so much of the North Island is so close:2thumbsup

Theres a few groups in Hammie area, Ulysses has regular rides in the area, and if you enjoy a leisurely ride check out LOR (Laxed Out Rides) they cater well for newbies and riders that arent experienced in group riding and those on smaller bikes. They meet on a Wednesday evening and advertise the runs on the calender here and have a group onsite too. recommended neat bunch of guys (and gals)

I have recently moved back North after seven years in the Waikato. A lot of Awesome backroads around Cambridge, Matamata and Morrinsville. Just watch out for tractors and farmers moving stock. The Okoroire Pub is a good place to visit on a nice weekend. Motorcycle friendly Pub and they make good food :cool:

Or drop down the western side of Putaruru and Tokoroa to Whakamaru and down the Western Access to Ti Hoi, nice burgers in their garden bar.

Or head east over to Ngongotaha and around the top of Lake Rotorua and then over Hwy 30 around the Lakes and passed Kawerau and on to Whakatane, the best fish and chips at Wallys on the Wharf - have the lemon pepper on your fish. You can then come home along the coast through Matata, Te Puke and over the Kaimais.

Then there's the lap out to Paeroa, east through the Karangahake Gorge to Waihi, up through Whangamata to Hikuwai, left onto the Hikuwai-Kopu Road (SH25A) and then home through Paeroa again.

Some of the best riding roads in the region are to the west of SH1, Raglan and Kawhia are good rides. Try finding the Blueberry Cafe just out of Cambridge, good spot to stop off for lunch or afternoon tea on your way home from somewhere.

Next time you wanna go ride, drop me a PM and I'll see if I can accompany you - depending on availability of gas money mostly. Currently unemployed, so time rich and gas money poor.

WTF bro? TGA, Whangarainy, Cambridge, do you get paid per beneficiary or somthing?

P.S. wanna root?

[toebug]

Hell yeah, getting around like a dirty whore grant!!!!

Cambridge is 22k from Hamilton mate. Only 80k to tga too, and you know all roads lead to oko....:clap:

Yeah I am definitely getting around, but job up here I have been doing for last 9 months is covering a lady on maternity leave.... So unless I want to go backwards I had to move where there was an opportunity and Cambridge came up.

Works out well for me, closer to the race tracks, nice area where I haven't lived before, closer enough to Tauranga to catch up with everyone and Oko just round the corner, but enough new roads to ride and areas to explore also. So all in all win win...
