Normally they meet at the service station at Ashhurst just before 6pm with the intention of leaving by 630pm but since this is a Manawatu unorganised ride they could leave at anytime:facepalm:

Get there by 6 and all will be ok

[enzo]

[bogan]

Turns out I can't be assed riding to ashurst anyways :bleh: but if it is the paihiatua track, I'll aim to be at the turnoff at around 630, so might see you out there. Cracker day for it!

[TheTengTheory]

Anyone still doing rides in Manwatu? I just got my learners and am getting a Hornet 250. Hoping to get out and about as much as I can to take a break from work. (loads of overtime at the Distribution center for Countdown :D:D )

[HEMA]

Suggest a time and place to meet. If the weather is good, somebody will most likely pitch up for a ride. If nobody does, go riding anyway!

The Friday night rides seem to have fizzled out a bit but as Hema says, if you post up a ride you might get a bite.

CDMTC Toy Run next Saturday if you want a quiet pootle...

Bugger well we will think of you while we do crown range and west coast tomorrow

[TheTengTheory]

Picked up the Hornet today from wellington. Probably gonna do a couple of hours in a couple doing slow stuff tmr before I think about going for proper rides. Nana'd it back from wellington. Definitely an improvement over my Yamaha Jog :D

Anyone got any suggestions for a big open place to practice? Or even better teach me :)

[yod]

Pak n Save at 6 in the morning lol? maybe the Bunnings carpark after they close?

some of the streets near me are quiet, fairly wide, sod all traffic and a good road surface - you could pootle around them without much fear of idiot drivers - there's a couple of roundabouts and cul de sacs for practicing tighter turning, etc
