Ride to hamilton tuesday 19th

**XTC** · 18th April 2005, 15:18

Cary and I are going to hamilton tomorrow for a ride and check out the shops just for fun.... avoiding S.H.1 at all costs. Maybe 22 down and otherside back up. Not a real fast ride as we are both on XT's and value our licences so will be a leisurely cruise not exceeding 150kph at any time

Anyone keen to come along?? Leaving Waiuku 9:30am PM me if you wanna come.

Are you going to be doing any gravel sections on the ride?

I'm not that quick on gravel due to the bike I'm on, but if you'd consider doing some gravel on the way I'd be keen. You might need to stop for me at the intersections though..

Last time we went down the coast from port waikato to raglan doing mostly gravel but this makes the trip alot longer... Took about 3 hours to make raglan. I was thinking of going down SH22 but could turn off at pukekawa and head down thru Orton and churchill and then on to rotongaro then follow the river down from huntly to ngaruawahia hen enter hamilton thru the back blocks (should be able to get lost no probs) This route would take in some gravel but still keep travelling time reasonable. Are you Keen for this Paparazzi?

should be good!

Ok wegot 3!!! Yee haa. Anyone else keen?? Surely you really don't want to go to work do ya

Cary and paparazzi will be leaving from otahuhu between 8:30 and 9:00. Pm me for address details if you wanna come along. I will check this again 1st thing in the morning (when the twins get me up a 6:30

) but will keep checking tonight just in case. Gonna be a great day tomorrow.

P.S If you don't like the gravel bits it's easy to skip them then meet up at the next spot..... But everyone can benefit from a little gravel now and then.
