Palmy, Ashhurst, Manawatu ride to Martinborough?

In the light of this: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?p=820865#post820865

And the fact that now my hand is better and I haven't been on a decent ride for AGES!!! I was thinking about going to the Flying fish cafe for the 26th. If anyone else is interested in going for a ride there on the Sunday it should be a fun ride.

Besides my new CBR hasn't been for a good ride yet.

I only know of boring highway to Martinborough though so if we can find someone with better road knowledge around these parts that would be great!

[MattRSK]

Yeah I am keen. Let me think about a route for a second....

[KLOWN]

i'd be keen as beans if the weather is good.

[MattRSK]

Ok here is a really good route. The bit from Pahiatua to Alfredton is a little hazy in my memory, maybe someone can remember that from last time?

Oh and the bit between Westmere and Moreland is not that twisty. I just forgot to deselect the road name! :innocent:

[bobsmith]

That looks pretty cool. I think I've been on that road between Masterton and Martinborough once but not the road from ekatahuna. Anyhow, I'd probably get hopelessly lost by myself anyway. 2 weeks to go, better get my suspension sorted out by then...

[MattRSK]

From memory its pretty straightforward. I have done it with a few others from Palmy. KLOWN was there but he decided a different route would suit him on the day :dodge: :p

[KLOWN]

ha, yeah just wanted to keep the ride going :scooter:

[ajturbo]

hey guys, keep me in mind (pm me as i will forget) as the turbo has not been out for a while....:whocares:

Sure thing. See ya there!

The more the merrier.

[cowboyz]

sounds like a plan. You know its hard to keep the ashhurst boyz off their bikes. follow me. I can *look* like I know where I am going........

[MattRSK]

Sounds good. Might get the bike rego'd and wof'd then. :yes:

[cowboyz]

would be good to finally meet you mattRSK

shit. got my hopes up.

[bobsmith]

Hey good to hear from you cowboy. I've been reading how much fun you guys have been having without me.

Just don't pull a sicky on us this time huh?

[MattRSK]

Yes I seem to be rather elusive. Not intentional.

[KLOWN]

my rear suspension is screwed, its like riding on a trampoline, also my water pump is leaking but I should be able to come anyway. :rockon:

Yeah, my rear feels like shit at the moment too. Just bought a C spanner from AFC so I'll be taking all my rear fairings off to get to it. (can't get the adjustment done with the bloody fairing on...)

anyhow, if anyone needs to use a C spanner, let me know.

[cowboyz]

[Shadows]

Looks like the Wairarapa will be overflowing with bikes that weekend, what with the sprints at Carterton and the Kinsmen's run as well.
