Annutha Welly BBQ! - Sun 11 Feb

[Grub]

Scott & Carissa and many other KB'ers are on their way around the coastline of NZ in their Ride for Life to raise funds for childhood cancer (http://www.rideforlife.co.nz). Today they're in the Far North. On Sunday Feb 11 they will be in Wellington and staying with Nasty and I.

There'll already be a bunch of KBers riding with them so what better than to end the day with a BBQ and jaw. I was looking for the thread that had the itinerary, either I'm dense or it's disappeared.

PM Nasty or me if you're on for it.

Yup, got that one, but what I was looking for was the full itinerary that had the details of the 11th in particular.

Went to the website for the ride but the itinerary isn't there either.

Kind regards,
Confused of Whitby

[MSTRS]

We have that. We are posting each day's itinery on the day to avoid confusion with one long list. That way, you visit the last post to know where the riders will be etc....
Suffice to say, they will be leaving southern end of Levin near the Railway Stn sometime around 2pm to head south

[Grub]

they will be leaving southern end of Levin near the Railway Stn sometime around 2pm to head south

And before that? After making the arrangements, I realised I will be in Wanganui that weekend so am coming down just for the evening and then going back (sort of thing you do on a bike).

I'd like to meet up with everyone and ride back ... any further info ... or is it still a secret?

[Wasp]

oh dear.... sprints are on in Carterton and Knight Rider wants to go to Castle Point.......

where is whitby (still dont have my bearings, south of waikanae right?) and what time would it start?

[Grub]

Coming South, turn left onto Paekakariki Hill Rd, 157 corners later pass Grays Rd on your right, go through Pauatahanui shops, right at the roundabout onto SH58. On SH58 you have a choice of 2, 12 or 26 corners before you turn left into Whitby. I never use the 2 corner option :)

[Colapop]

Whitby = Porirua East East...

[Deano]

oh dear.... sprints are on in Carterton


Can "the ride" detour over Pahiatua Track and call in on the sprints on the way through ? Then you can experience the Taka's as well ?


Whitby = Porirua East East...

Ssssh, don't tell Jimbo.

[COP_B8]

I will be keen, as a fellow whitby person! will be good to meet a few people!

What time? I get home after 500pm

Cam

[knight rider]

500pm? lol

is your bike back together cam?

[COP_B8]

when it finally comes round to leaving time it feels like 500pm, yup bikes back together, WOF time on wed.......see yah on the wed nite ride :)

[knight rider]

come on thecastle point ride if you want everyones welcome. hope to be back in time for the BBQ in whitby :)

[COP_B8]

will be at work till 500pm remember.....didnt fit the time machine on when rebuilding the bike sorry!

[knight rider]

lol am having a dumb moment sorry. Must be bed time for me

[Grub]

According to MSTRS, Scott, Carissa and the rest of the Ride for Lifers (at least 6) will be leaving Levin railway station about 2pm. That would put them at our place just about 3.30pm.

That makes a BBQ at 4pm sound spot on to us. Drop me or Nasty a PM for the address details. That also gives us an idea on how many to expect.

Brett n Kari

[Grub]

Just an updtae. You may have seen Scott's (Zukin's) post today to say they're safely out of Northland and shacked up in a modest little villa in Devonport tonight. They're on schedule so far so Sunday for the BBQ at 4pm looks to be a goer.

I am leaving for Wanganui in the morning and won't be back until Tuesday (except for a Wang-Well-Wang dash on Sunday) I will probably meet up with the ride into Welly at Levin Suzuki dealer leaving Levin at 2.30.

Anyone wanting the address of the BBQ now needs to PM Nasty as I won't be on the net until Tuesday. (Not sure how I'm going to cope!)

See ya Sunday
Brett

[merv]

OK who is on for the ride to meet Scott and Carissa?

If they are to be at Levin Railway leaving at 2pm how about we stage a meeting at Mobil Paraparaumu (Guy Weaver's gas station) at 12.15pm for a 12.30pm departure and we ride up to Levin and then ride back to Whitby with Scott and Carissa. Then enjoy the BBQ at Nasty and Grub's place.

I've posted another thread to make this stand out here http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=43752

[chanceyy]

You guys know there is a bike show on in otaki too.. 10-4pm .. gold coin donation to get in apparently .. dunno if its worth a look or not ;)

[Wasp]

oh jeez chancey, just what we need another bike thing on sunday :(

anybody going to the sprints then the bbq? cos i honestly have no f'ing clue how im going to do it

[merv]

OK just one thing to add, if we tag along with the Zukins they do expect a donation of $25 (correct change) from what I read here http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=42029. Otherwise we could sign up on the website http://www.rideforlife.co.nz/rideforlifeopen.html

[chanceyy]

ok am getting confused .. what suzuki shop in Levin ?? we only have a kawa one ... & ummm I see davereid posted a query if the bbq at his place (scooter place on hokio beach road,) is still on so ummm can anyone clarify the arrangements ..

[Skunk]

OK who is on for the ride to meet Scott and Carissa?
Love to but I'll be Bucket racing. Hoping to get to the BBQ though. (What a busy Sunday bike event wise!)

[merv]

I've just gone back and read the fine print on the other thread and I see what you mean davereid was offering the stop at his place. Is that what Grub means then if we leave Levin Railway Station at 2pm we are still at davereids scooter shop at 2.30pm.

The offer for food at davereids didn't seem to be picked up but if necessary I could change the time for us to ride up to say 11am and we go to davereids and not Levin Railway station and partake of the food and the raffle.

[u4ea]

im going down to bike show and calling in to davereids scooter shop on the way home if i get there in time.......:scooter: :yes:

dave reids place is just around corner from railway station ... but its hard to get actual confirmation of anything ...

sighsssss

& Nasty can you PM me your addy & directions .. may not be joining in the ride down .. but will make it to your place at some stage ..to many things to do & not enough hours LOL

[Paul in NZ]

Sorry guys - being pulled in too many directions sunday - can't make it...

[merv]

davereid you there somewhere? Yungatart (who's keeping in touch with the ride crew) tells me now the plan is to be at davereid's at 2pm for the BBQ so is this correct. If so we will stick with a 12.30 departure from Paraparaumu and go to the scooter shop on Hokio Beach Road.

[merv]

Thanks Sels1 see you there. Southern Mobil it is.

[Wasp]

[Terminated]

Kari and Brett thanks for your hospitality this evening.

Was a pleasure to catch up with you all on the ride for childhood cancer.
All the very best for the rest of your ride around the country.

[chanceyy]

hey guys sorry I did not make it .. went to bike show in Otaki & since traffic was pretty full on from Levin to Otaki did not feel up to joining the que down to welly ... came home & rode muh bike ;)

[GurlRacer]

Thanks for an awesome ride back :D It was awesome to get out of the van and on the back of a bike :D haha.

Thanks also to Brett and Kari for putting on an awesome BBQ (My tummy is still full!!) and for letting us stay :D I'll also mention thanks to their neighbours, they're awesome, and I am staying there tonight :)

I had an awesome day, and I know the others did too :D So thank you to everyone!! And thanks to Merv for not getting me in any of the photos where you can't see me for my jacket being 10 sizes too big :P

[merv]

Well a few of us (me, Hawkeye, Alexthekidd and Sels1) went up to Levin to meet the Ride for Life team of Scott (Zukin), Carissa and others including KBer Fazer. We met at davereids Scooters Plus shop. Thanks for the food and drink there Dave and Maria.

Racey Rider and u4ea met us in Levin too. Good to see you.

Then we rode back to the BBQ at Nasty and Grub's place. I took a few photos on the ride as usual but I'm off to Dunedin all week this week and I won't have time to post them tonight but I have left a copy on the PC at Nasty and Grub's place so who knows they may share some of them with you.

Thanks for the hospitality tonight.

Thanks to BuckBuckNo1 to being the main man on the BBQ.

I'm tied up with a function in Auckland next weekend so no riding for me for a wee while :shutup: so have fun and take plenty of photos while I'm out of town eh!

Good luck to Hawkeye for his licence test on Wednesday and to BBNo1 with his new bike.

As for you GurlRacer, if only I'd known you were staying behind me all the time.

[Skunk]

Sorry I didn't make it; too buggered after the Bucket racing.

[knight rider]

sorry I didn't make it. Got back about 8pm & was so tired went straight home

[u4ea]

All the best on the fun raising tour...:scooter:
was a good opportunity to catch up with more kbers after the Otaki show..
Thankyou Dave and Maria for the bbq..am sure the crew needed a recharge just to get to Welly !!!!!An awesome effort....:rockon:

[Grub]

It was great to see so many KB friends again tonight.

I left Wanganui at 1600 and was home at 1801 after negotiating the usual crap traffic between Levin and Paekak Hill turnoff (god it's a relief to be able to turn off up that road)

Has been great to have Scott, Carissa, Gurlracer and the rest of the Ride for Life team with us.. The cause is so amazing and their oddesy so much fun, how could we not be involved.

All the best to them and looking forward to when they're back on the 24th in Masterton for the Last Day ride home to Napier. The list is growing ... people are going to notice :)

Oh well, off to bed now as I have to be up at 6am to ride back to Wanganui where I am due to play in the singles at 9am.

Brett

[alexthekidd]

Thanks Brett and Kari for the hospitality and all the best with the fundraising Scott, Karissa and crew.

Amazed that Gurlracer had never been on a bike the whole time!

[sels1]

Yeah add my thanks too, Kari and Brett (and their neighbours) for their hospitality, and David and Maria in Levin for theirs. And Merv for his pics, which will appear at some stage.
Good to ride with Scott and Carissa and their support crew, and Gurlracer makes a good pillion!
Good luck with the South Is tour, prolly see you all when you get back

[Hans]

Ditto from me! Great day out and great hospitality from both David and Maria in Levin and Kari and Brett in Whitby.
Glad I could be of some help with accommodation for the support crew.

Merv. Be gentle with me re :photo's Some of them were not my good side <_<

[GurlRacer]

Ha Merv - I'm clever!!

Big thanks to everyone again!! :D Will pass on the messages to the folks. Currently in Franz Josef. BTW Alex, I had been in that sidecar :P So ner!! haha
