No Title

The enthusiasm through winter to contribute to the Where Did You Ride and What Did You Practise thread dropped off. So, as an initiative I decided to provide an opportunity for all riders and in particular new riders (in the Wellington region) to at least be able to look at the site Calendar and decide if they may want to participate in an group ride that has the route detail.

BuckBuckNo1’s Spring/Summer 2007 - Weekend Morning Rides And Brunch

The good weather is approaching and I am pretty enthusiastic.

(Postscript Note: These morning rides are open to all riders from the newbie to the senior experienced rider. It is not a clique. It is for people who decide they want to go for a ride on the weekend.)

Morning Rides

Day Breakers – For those keen to see the sunrise.
Stretch & Yawn – For those not so keen to see the sun too early.

Ready To Ride Notice and Weather Forecast

Subject to good weather forecast, I will post, in the Calendar, either on Thursday or Friday evening.

1. Day & Date [Saturday or Sunday]
2. Gathering Point
3. Gathering Time and Departure Time
4. Route and Destination [and if its early early it may be McDonalds or Subway]

Gathering Points
Wellington City – Caltex - Hutt Road, Kaiwharawhara
Lower Hutt – Duckpond - Fairway Drive, Avalon
Upper Hutt – Rimutex/Caltex – Fergusson Drive, Maoribank

Note: I have no hesitation in promulgating route and destination and expect all those joining the ride will ride responsibly observing the traffic code at all times.
