View Full Version : Auckland: After-work rides?

Hi all,

Just wondering if there are any others out there looking for riding buddies in the Auckland area?

I currently have a bit of spare time on week nights and sometimes on the weekends if I'm not out fishing.

I've been riding just over a year. Still riding on my L plate (sorting that out soon) but fairly confident. All is good, except none of my mates are into bikes and those that are don't have one. Looking for others in a similar situation I guess and of course anyone else who is keen. Wouldn't mind tagging along with more experienced riders too if they don't mind.

Destination anywhere I guess. I guess rides would be short - medium distance with me being on the learner's 10pm curfew and all.

My bike is an XR250L and I work central. I knock off at 5.30pm most evenings.

If you're keen, drop me a line or post here.:cool:

Cheers
Si

We have 2 regular KB after-work weekly rides, depends on which way you want to go:

North - The ATNR (Auckland Thursday Night Ride) meets @ Westgate Shell 6.30pm on Thursdays SEE HERE (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=33348)for the thread. Learners welcome as long as you can do 100kph.

South - South Auckland Thursday Night Ride, I think they name a place (Papakura etc..) to meet so you will be better off looking HERE (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=35572) and reading the thread...


There is also a 250 club which details could be found HERE (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=36). They have quite a few rides during the weekends but not sure about weekdays.......


Hope this helps.
