WELLINGTON Sunday 14 March afternoon ride north to Vinegar Hill - casual all bikers

[Toaster]

Wellington Sunday (Sunday 14 March) Afternoon Ride - Waikanae to Vinegar Hill plus backroads.

Startpoint - SH1 outside the Waikanae New World Supermarket car park northern end of township.

Departure: 1pm.

Ride plan... It is a repeat or thereabouts of a popular ride used back in February but will be flexible depending on the group.

Waikanae - Levin - Shannon - Ashhurst - Feilding - Cheltenham - Vinegar Hill - Ohingaiti - Pemberton - Rangiwahia - Peep-o-day - Kimbolton - Feilding - Sanson - Waikanae.

All riders new and used welcome - open invitation for all bike types and people to join us for a little adventure into the wilderness - I've never ridden this route before but Colin has and will lead the way on the Goldwing.

Join at any point - just let me know where beforehand (0212510017).

Ride your own ride or tag along but we will stop for catch up points to regroup or inject caffeine and food/fuel where needed if we get spread out.

Weather forecast for Sunday afternoon is ideal - the ride will be on regardless.

Well he is bringing his Mrs, so I would say yes. There will be a decent stop somewhere without a doubt.... and a couple or so catch up stops along the way.

You should post this in the Mahawatu (tm) Ride thread, most of them are asleep on Saturdays but they will more than likely tag on at some point on Sunday. You will even go right passed the front door of two of them in Ashhurst.

I think its about 100km, depending on the group speed give us say an hour and a bit to get there. We can make it a stop and wait for you. There must be a useful petrol station there of some sort to meet at.
