Meeting at the Duckpond from 7:30am, leaving at 8am
If anyone would like to hook in at Pauhatanui we should be going past at around 8:15am, just gather in the carpark outside the dairy etc and we shall pull in.
Head over the Paekakariki Hill and off Waikanae, if anyone would like to hook in there, just wait outside New World in SH1 and we shall pull in at around 9am, then head straight to Manakau, arriving at 10am for breakfast. If there is anyone else that would like to hook in at any point, just look for a group going past with a big red and white ZX10 with black pannier boxes, and then just pull in behind us. If you go through Levin, you're with the wrong group.
Please post up whether you will be having breakfast by Friday so I can let Peter and Michelle know how many are coming as they are opening early especially for us.
The pace of this ride will be casual slow to allow for those with lesser experience.
Peoples from the Manawatu are more then welcome to meet us there at 10.
For those who don't know where the duck pond is (Avalon Park, Lower Hutt), go along the Western Hutt Road (Motorway, SH2) and take the Avalon turn off. Go across the bridge and pull into the carpark on the Left (its not hard too miss).
After breakfast, those who are wanting to, can then join in for a ride over the Paihiatua Track, then go through Mangamarie, Mauriceville and head out to Martinborough for Lunch. From there, the world is your oyster.
