Anyone up for another girly coffee ride?

Expressions of interest here and I'll set a date shortly.

Girly Coffee Ride (GCR) 3 Saturday 23rd June

Meet: Botany Downs BP
Time: 1pm
Destination: to be confirmed
Pace: slow

Due to popular demand, this is the contingency ride for those who missed the ride on the 10th.

So does this mean there is no-one interested in a girly coffee ride other than HDTBoy or has he put everybody off?

HDTboy
14th May 2007, 12:29
Put people off? I'm a drawcard. You should change the title to "Another Girly Coffee Ride, Featuring HDTboy".

Keystone19
17th May 2007, 17:56

Maverick will bring a lass along who's just getting back in the saddle (she's been in the UK for a bit I believe). A good way to welcome her back to bikes in Kiwiland.

Ok. A couple of possible dates. Sunday June 10th or Saturday June 23rd. Majority wins - PM me or post here. Would post a poll but can't seem to add one as an afterthought...

Definitely do the 10th and if the weather is bad have the 23rd as a contingency and perhaps do it anyway if there is enough interest.

PLAN:

Ride 10th June
Time: 2pm
Meet: to be confirmed
Destination: to be confirmed.

Chickadee
24th May 2007, 14:17

She's pretty tho lol... Just small...

You ride big bikes so Im sure she will be in good hands & might actually enjoy been given a ride by an experienced rider :)

I will PM you my work e-mail & number (I spend most of my time there...)

If you get a better offer tho... lol... it might be more fun for you to play on.

It's always fun to get on a small bike so I'm not complaining - but why aren't you going to be riding it?

No worries.

There is so no way I can get away from work. Things are hard out crazy at the moment with colleagues being overseas etc & being one of only two people running the show :shit: ... not gonna happen lol.

In saying that, I would be happy knowing it ment someone else could go. :)

Everybody is welcome on these rides.

The route will be very manageable and the aim is social rather than hard out riding. Having said that, if any of the more experienced riders can help you out with your riding, just ask...:niceone:

I can't do the 10th as my bike will still be in bits and also it's my birthday so I'll be spending it with family.

23rd sounds great though... gives me an incentive to get the bike fixed up in time :D

Hey Miss L. Take the motorway over the harbour bridge and keep going until you get to the southeastern highway/motorway exit. Take this exit and follow the road to the end of the motorway (East Tamaki Rd I think). Turn right at the end of the motorway and follow this road to Botany Downs. Keep going until just past Botany Downs shopping Centre where you will turn left and the BP will be on your right.

* Off at South Eastern Highway - Follow it around to the LEFT.
* Continue through two sets or so of lights until over the bridge
* Turn right into Ti Rakau drive follow to Botany downs.
* Turn left onto Chapel Rd. BP is just round the corner on your left.

Chickade (My wife) has asked me to help out with the organisation of the ride today. I notice there's at least one rider coming from the shore. If you're unsure of how to get to Botany BP I will be at Barry's Point Road from 12:00 - 12:20 to make sure you get to the start of the ride with ease.

I can't remember where the space is (there's an unused space between bike shops from memory) But I'll sit on a red Ducati looking kind of prominent so you don't miss me.

Nice to meet you all
Miss L, Flat Battery & Puddy for coming and keeping the morons off our butts. Some very insonsiderate cagers out there when L plates were clearly displayed.

Nice wee coffee stop at Calendula Cafe out near Glenbrook (left turn on the way to Waiuku).

The weather wasn't great and the wind certainly gave us a few waggles on our journey, but it's all experience which we are richer for. Glad you made it home safe.

Hope we get good weather for the next ride - and at least the Whitford Road has been tar sealed instead of loose stuff like it's been for weeks. I can see a trip to Kaiaua being in order!

Thanks to Keystone19 for helping organise this one, rest up Jill, look forward to seeing you back on 2 wheels soon.
