Riding Wgtn - Palm Nth (Sun 6 Sept 2009)

I agree with Hitcher above, SH57 is the best way there... Get off SH1 as soon as you can. There may be some road works near the end of the ride but so what.

[XP@]

Agree with hitcher on the route!
Stick to the speed limit especially from Te Horo to Levin, it's crawling with fuzz who appear to be on quotas. I've seen someone stopped around there almost every day for the last couple or weeks. (yup, I commute to Welly every day!)

[chef]

alright awsome. some great advice there i should be sweet to go on sunday.
cheers guys

Yeah man the whole ride is a piece of cake, one word of warning..

Don't stop in levin..

Close the visor on your lid and look straight ahead, eye contact with the locals is out, just forget its there..

Wear lots warm clothes, it'll probably be gettin' quite chilly that late in the afternoon. Relax and have fun.

Don't try and do a Lundyrun.

Just remember it isn't premarital sex if you have no intention of getting married! No seriously good luck and relax.
