Its been a while, but Qkkid and I have been busy........ :rolleyes:

What: Ride up to Omapere / Opononi via Waipoura Forest then back via Twin Bridges
When: Sunday 15th December
Time: Leave 8:30am, return late afternoon
Route: Maximising the twisties, less of straight roads - direction to be decided
Gathering point: Caltex Dairy Flat (same place as the Auckland regular sunday ride north)
Who: Anyone comfortable at sustained highway speeds, can go around corners / ride PROPERLY, can do 150kms between stops and happy to ride 600 odd kms in a day.

Want to know more? PM me or do a search on Opononi Rides. (Similar route)
Like on most group rides, there will be different skill levels of riders - some fast, some not. (I'll probably take my Hog so I will be sitting back for a cruise) Find your spot in the group and enjoy the day, NEVER ride beyond your capability.

Riders from Northland may be able to meet Auckland group in Dargaville or other predetermined locations.

Bugger just booked my flights for England on the 14th.

Wonder if I could do a long haul flight after a ride if I changed my flight dates.....

I won't be 2-up, so may be a little slower through the corners, haha.

Unfortunately due to unforeseeable business circumstances, we will have to postpone this ride until next year now.

Bugger, it may be our last chance to ride up Norf before we split Auckland.
Anyone else keen to go anyway?
