Auckland ride monday 24.10.05

[FROSTY]

Anybody keen on a ride labour day monday??
well heres the taing--I've been invited to visit ma and pa up at Mangawhai.
Im sorta thinking 10 am Shell westgate--(end of NW motorway)
Itll be the classic--old nth/peak/sh16/mangawhai rd to the cracked pipi in mangawhai.
From there I wanna go say gudday to my folks --which is down about 5k of hard packed dirt road in the middle of a big forest.
Then on past mangawhai to the heads and up round the really tight windey roads. From the end of there I'm thinking either double back or carry on back down SH1 then split back off to 16 again.
I could do the folks thing on my own whilst you lot grab a feed if ya like
Im undecided if Im going up solo or with baby bikie.Either way I'll make sure nobody gets lost along the way.If Im with BB pace will be slow/med
Someone will stop at every intersection to point the way and Ill have a tail end charlie to follow everybody.

[aff-man]

Me and CK are keen to go out for a blat. Don't know where exactly yet but yeh keep us posted.

hey Johno, I would be bloody surprised if you could get CK to ride 22 :whistle: , only ever heard him moan about the condition of it,, still a few of us will be on 22 Monday so we will watch out for your lot(it would be good if Richard turned up) havn't seen him for long time, does he still have that yellow thing ?

F/F

[Toast]

......... yes

Sweet, thanks for that. I'm not too familiar with those areas around there, as I normally don't stop 'til I get to the 'mandel.

Hey Frosty, what time would you be expecting the ride to finish (say, time to get back to Papakura Autobahn area). I've got to pick up a mate to go check out a bike in the arvo, at about 3pm.

[aff-man]

yipCk is coming out even if i have to drag him by the scruff of his neck. Bur yeh we'll be at the autobanh at 10. Might see you there or around 22. I think we might go over the hanua's first then round to mercer and that way or something?

Was down 22 today, great day :sunny: :sunny: but the north end, from proberbly around the golf course to the 1st one way bridge, there is a lot of repairs being done to the road.
Quite a bit of gravel and saw one bike in the ditch :crybaby: after hitting particulary bad corner with pea gravel heading north in the same area.
Still fun though, just a heads up on the conditions

[mv.senna]

Ok boys, so after all the chit-chat....do we have a definate meet up time of 10am at the sthn autobahn?
