North Shore 250 ride - slow/medium - Sun 18 March - All welcome!

[El Dopa]

Despite all my efforts, the bike will not be running until at least next week.

It would be an understatement to say I am pissed off at the moment.

PM's will be sent to all those who PM'd me for details.

My apologies to everyone.

I'd suggest those who want to ride tomorrow meet up and organise their own route, but I will be unable to make it.

CANCELLED

[Chisanga]

A nice idea but infortunately I work on Saturday mornings. Hope it goes well though :)

[Mamba]

Me too, most of the S Aucklanders are available on Sunday, and thats when we were holding our runs. If we could move the date to Sunday, a lot more people could participate. Othervise have fun:yes: :scooter:

[Grahameeboy]

Yeah Sunday Dopey....................

[McJim]

If you shift to the sunday you'll prolly get me OR Chickadee but not both due to the ol' babysitting issues.

Might still get both of us though...eeez posssible.

[Donor]

Muhaha... I'm available either day...

But errr... oh, THAT weekend I'm only available on the Sunday.

Honest.

:innocent:

[duckaddict]

I'll be there.

[ravenfeeder]

Love the idea but not sure if will have all my gear and bike by then - next one count me in ;))

[El Dopa]

So, would anyone have a problem with the Sunday (18th), if I move it?

Apart from possibly half of McChickaJim?

BTW, the other 250 rides did/do alternate between Saturday and Sunday. But I'm so desperate to be popular I'll go with the majority.

[Grahameeboy]

Me no problemo seniora Dopa.......

[Maverick]

I would be up for Sunday weather permitting, do you want to edit the calender listing so people can sign up?

Mav :)

[Prof - R]

would have like to come but be out at the track ... you guys have a good one

[Donor]

Bugger!

I can ride that day, or play golf with some mates.

I haven't golfed in a couple of months.

This causes me mucho angst! :confused:

[Mole_C]

Oh could be good. I should hopefully have my restricted by then :yes: Can you PM me the route please so i can get some practice in :scooter: Im a bum at the moment so have plenty of time for practice :sunny: Can even do some time trials for ya.

[El Dopa]

Details updated in the first post.

[Prof - R]

ill be keen to tag along

[The Pastor]

If my bikes working i'll tag along. Where can you register?

[El Dopa]

Just drop me a PM and let me know if you'll be coming. Give me an idea of your skill level as well.

At the moment this ride is dependent on me getting my bike fixed, too.

[Donor]

PM sent.

Sort ya bike out ya blouse.

Clasificar tu motocicleta hacia fuera o bien habrá apuro… probablemente :)

[jade]

I'll come if its sunday

Estoy esperando en las piezas. Los mensajeros híbridos son mierda.

[Donor]

Perhaps this is the time to invest in the power of prayer...

...or steal something that works til all the pieces come together?

[El Dopa]

steal something that works

So....you're going to be playing golf, then? Away from home, leaving Rosie unattended, as it were?

Parts have arrived, and the carbs are back together. Now they just need to make it from Motorcycle Surgery back onto my bike. Oh, and the small matter of that actually solving the problem and the bike working. A minor matter.

And the rain needs to hold off at the end of the week so I can finalise the route, work out the timings, work out where to stop for lunch etc.

Nothing to see here, move along.

[Donor]

So....you're going to be playing golf, then? Away from home, leaving Rosie unattended, as it were?

Actually...

No.

I have bailed the golf, told the gang that I forgot I had a pressing matter to attend to which would make me horribly unavailable for golf, and as such, I am coming to show the world what real nana riding is ALL about!

I'm working Sat-Sun for the next 4 weekends after this one, so this is my last chance to get into a decent KB ride for a month, and buggered if I'm missing it!

[El Dopa]

Just to let eveyone know that if the weather is as shit as it was this evening, I'll be bailing out of my own ride. I'll make a decision Sat evening once I've seen the forecast, and post my decision then.

[Kittyhawk]

Dont think I'll have a 250cc bike by then. Otherwise I'd come.

Have fun ya all!!

You'll know when I know.

But probably approximately sorta W Aucks/Riverhead/Kaukapa/Wellsford/Mangawhai heads. Lunch. Home in reverse (and yes my bike does have a reverse gear before any one gets smart)

I'm off to put the bike back together now, seeing as it isn't raining horizontally.

[Smorg]

oh ok? you think im joking? ...TRY ME. Do it again. Go on...

am I missing something here?

[Disco Dan]

am I missing something here?

no. nothing to see here.. carry on...

[Smorg]

no. nothing to see here.. carry on...

haha that was quick....were you poised at the keyboard waiting to attack

[El Dopa]

Seeing as my bike is possesed of the devil, I won't have time to finalise the route or timings tomorrow. I'm going to have to spend time exorcising the demons instead.

The provisional plan is to head north from Riverhead - Peak Road, Old North Road, onto SH16 to Wellsford. I know these roads reasonably well

From Wellsford, the plan is to go on to to Managawhai (?) Heads for lunch. I don't know these roads at all.

Have some lunch at Mangawhai, then more or less do the same in reverse.

I would guess it'll be about 300K round trip, maybe a bit more. 2 hrs to Mangawhai heads, get there about 12.30 - 1.00. Hour for lunch, turn around and come back.

If I can't get my bike fixed, I dunno if I can make it. Anyone want to lend me a bike?

[Donor]

I'm bailing out.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I am unable to commit to the ride as I hve to go and play golf today.

SWMBO has decreed that this is law, and as such (we have a bloody uncomfortable couch) I will be housebound tomorrow instead.

PM me for her email address if you wish to send appeals on my behalf!

Otherwise, have a good ride tomorrow guys and gals, stay safe and do some k's for me!

[Smorg]

so is everything a goer? If so I'll be there providing its mostly dry.
