**danb** · 7th May 2005, 23:59

For the newbies:

Ok, if all goes well a few workmates are having a ride out to kawakawa bay and if anyone is interested in joining they are welcome.
Note this will be a slowish ride so ideal for newbies (Including me)

If we do decide to do it I shall make a new thread on Monday.

I'm keen to do this ride but have to be back in AKL by 1pm. How long is the ride to Ngaruawahia ? If we can get there in a couple of hours it gives me 1.5 hrs up SH1 back to AKL?

Should I tag along?

I don't know the route, as I only got my restricted last Tuesday so I haven't even been out of greater Auckland. And I'm not entirely sure if I should just wait for the next newbie ride it's just this is the first Saturday that I've gotten off work since the start of the year.

You say you got your restricted?? So you're probably ok.....

But how much riding have you done?? Not just commuting I hope.

Go ahead and go mate. Best way to get better at riding is to ride when ever possible. Don't worry about not knowing the route cause someone will and they will be sure to wait for you when/if you fall a little behind.

The daily commute into Auckland from Manukau to get to Uni. Panmure roundabout both ways 3x a week. 8km of night riding each week due to youth group. ~900km/month for the past 3 months.

EDIT: Scratch that I just checked the speedo, I've done 3000km in the past 2 months.
