Welly to Wangas - Boxing Day

[Deano]

Ok, I know of a few peeps keen to head up to watch the racing at the Cemetary Circuit.

I propose to leave home at about 8.30am - 9.00am. Wondering if anyone else if keen to head up in convoy.

Just need to establish the times and places to hook up.

[Str8 Jacket]

Me and Malcolm will be going up but will probably leave a little earlier as I am slow..... Will probably end up getting there at the same time though! Anyway, what time does it start and can anyone tell me if you can BYO alcohol? This is my first year ever in Wangas for boxing day, im sooo excited! :wari:

[quallman1234]

I would ride up but my bike will be in racing form for the taupo road race spectular.

So i am trailering my bike up to wangaui then heading to taupo the same day.
So if anyone gets stuck on the way you can give me a yell. Or you want me to bring anything up for you. What you can't take on ya bike. (Can't take it back tho!)

[Str8 Jacket]

str8, starts at 11 i think... not sure on byo.

Cheers, ears!

[sunhuntin]

no worries... hopefully some one else whos been a few times will know on the byo. if its not allowed, im sure the gate people will let you know.

[trevf]

byo is fine-just make sure its cans as no glass allowed-chilly bin with ice-weather forcast good

Just need to establish the times and places to hook up.The Sandbar.. Bar.. Place.

You know the one.

[jimbo600]

The Sandbar.. Bar.. Place.

You know the one.

Sandbar?? I'd say pauatahanui at 0900 so we can go over paekakariki hill, who I might add claimed a gsxr600 to other day so I heard, and no not mine.

[limbimtimwim]

Yeah, WTF was I thinking?

Jimbo you are correct, good place to meet.

[jimbo600]

Sandbar would be a good place to stop on the way back however.

[The Tazman]

Sweet, will see you all at pauatahanui. This is my first time to str8 and I'm really looking forward to it.

[Deano]

I'd say pauatahanui at 0900 so we can go over paekakariki hill

There's the plan.

So, bottom of Maungaraki Hill (just off SH2), or at my place at 8.30 - Haywards (East side carpark) at 8.40, Paua soon after, to leave there at 0900.

Hey if you know some good back roads...........we're all ears.

[masterofpuppets]

Like someone up there said ^^ byo is ok, but no glass. there is a new world right next to the circuit as well so can always buy cold ones from there. I've been going every year for the last few.. its good bloody fun. so i guess i'll be tagging along..:scooter:

[chanceyy]

Hey if you know some good back roads...........we're all ears.

hmm kinda route I had in mind & pick up riders on the way back roads to shannon .. pick up riders (incl me) then Palmy across to feilding & marton .. nice we back road to turakina .. then drag up to wangas .. or can go via fordell into wangas ..

do you want to see a map of the route ? has a bit of mixture of twisties & way less boring than the direct route for sure :yes:

hmm i might just ride to palmy and ride with you all via back roads back to wanganui .

for a route from palmerston north, may i suggest -feilding ,cheltenham, vinegar hill,hunterville,mangamahu track,turakina valley,fordell,wanganui

here it is on google maps took me farken aes to make http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&saddr=palmerston+north&daddr=feilding+to:vinegar+hill+to:hunterville+to:-39.892353,175.297165+to:fordell+to:wanganui&mra=dme&mrcr=3,4&mrsp=4&sz=11&sll=-39.872331,175.476379&sspn=0.201835,0.466919&ie=UTF8&ll=-39.889719,175.389175&spn=0.201784,0.466919&z=11&iwloc=ddw2&om=1


they are awsome twisties :niceone: you guys would luv them im sure

[Grub]

I would have loved to do the ride with you all but Nasty and I are officials at the meeting and so have to be there early in the morning. We're having to go late on Chrissy day - see you all there.

[Colapop]

Unfortunately I have scored a Suzuki tent pass for the day so I may not be slumming it with you menial folk... :whistle:


But you know I still luffs you... :love:

[chanceyy]

was thinking more of this route (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&ll=-40.00395,175.281372&spn=0.223538,0.466919&z=11&om=0&msid=116813017914129032933.000441db77a46da82f36f) .. great back roads & remember welly riders have to get up to palmy area first .. so we dunna want them leaving at the crack of dawn

sorry guys could not get the destination lines to stay .. can someone point me in the right direction .. its my first attempt at it :yes:

this has a bit of everything in it as well
