Ride... Monday 29 January

[Jonny Rotten]

right welll im goin to go for a ride on monday..... up north some where for a beer....

meet: shell west gate
time: 11 am (cause im lazy and any earlier is to early)
depart some time after 11 probably 11:30 ish

will decide where to go on the day cause i have had a fair bit to drink today and cant think straight......

anyone is welcome dont care if your on a scooter.....pace will be fast as i feel like goin on the day.......

will be run the same as a thursday night "pointers on corners and shit"

[eviltwin]

yep count me in

[Morcs]

Count me in too, or ill at least come down the road to see you guys off If dont have enough cash. I have a whole $30 to last me til tuesday...

[slinky]

will see what the haps is on monday.
i may be going wakeboarding that day.
but other then that i will be keen.

Note - im fucking round with the susupension setup of the bike, and im already not as fast as you guys,
but if i do come il try not to hold you up too much

[slinky]

the route we did (or was supposed to do)
was through peak, and up 16 - right onto westcost road which leads onto woodcocks and then you end up in workworth. (tho me my bro and another dude ended up in wellsford while the other 3 in walkworth)
and then back down the way we came, but at kaukapakapa we turn towards dairy flat, andthen up waitoki - (opposite that gull station) and did that road to silverdale.
n yeh.
that was 200 Ks of riding from the shell westgate, and back to glendfield.

[tomtyer-drake]

sweet as, i will be there!

and i was the other dude who ended up at welsford

[crashe]

The road to Wellsford is a nice ride...... just keep the pace down as the nice officer is wandering up and down that stretch of road......... and its a long walk home.

[Morcs]

I reckon we go upto mangawai.

I do it most weekends.

Route:

Start westgate, head up the 16.
Take old north road,
Onto peak road, then back onto the 16 towards Kauakapa (or however u say it)
Carry on the 16 to wellsford (the last 15km before wellsford are sooo good)
Then cruise up SH1, and turn off for mangawai after a few kms
Then there is 18km of mint roads to mangawai, stop for beer and lunch?

Cruise back down SH1, and perhaps stop at puhoi? or take same route back?

What do yas reckon?

[slinky]

sounds good!!( if i do come)
the road from wark worth to state 16 was quite good.
did it yesterday.
some nice tight corners. (just gota be careful of them)

[Morcs]

Yeah i was thinking of that road maybe on the way back, then down the 16 the rest of the way? I havent ridden it yet but heard its a belter.

[Littleman]

Weather notwithstanding, I'm in.

Hey guys

sounds like a fun ride!...

would be keen to join when I get a bike...!

I see alot of you guys presumably cut through like alot of people do, down my road to get to the motorway at Silverdale, down Pine Valley off Kaihikatea Flat Road which you come along from Waitoki comming from out west...

Some advice...a lovely (cough) poilce officer patrols this road regulary and pulls up a alot of people on 4 wheels and 2, and sometimes occasionally the temporary 1 wheeler...try not to gun it along the road, as tempting as it may seem with the long drop from the top of the road where my place begins all the way to the bottom straight, thats where you will most likely be caught...but anyhow have fun and yea let us know of any other rides happening over summer, im keen...

cu

[eviltwin]

right, one coffee down, i'm awake now.

[rookie]

Whitianga might be the next destination if anyone else is keen.

[rookie]

awesome day on the bike.
Bit of a dodgy start with the weather, but turned out to be absolutely mint.

Awesome selection of eye candy to behold...gonna be some sweet dreams tonight.

Excellent roads too, traffic wasn't 'too' bad, but the roads were pretty awesome with plenty of twisties to keep me and the 2-fiddy happy. Definately gotta do those again!!

[slinky]

will anyone else be keen to do whitianga?

[Morcs]
