Who is keen for a ride? (Newbie friendly)

[The Everlasting]

Yep,I'd be keen,but I'm out west.

What bike you on cayman911?

On a NXR 125 , as awesome it is, it dosnt enjoy very top end motorway speeds of 100/+. so i try not to kill it

since ever single uphill i had to slow down until there was no lower gear to shift down to .

I can't help with that apart from the old "ride your own ride" bit, NZ is not flat so get used to it.
If you want to organise a ride there is only one way that works (IMHO); pick a date and a route and post it up, you will find that after a lot of posting and bullshitting a small group of like minded people will turn up and you will have a great time.

Pick a date and name a place, describe the sort of ride and get on with it, this weekend is looking perfect for riding.......if you want something central, head out through Panmure, Glen Innes, Riddel road to the waterfront and end up in the domain, retrace your route back.

You just described my usual ride there, i guess i was trying to find likeminded people first then setup a ride, but i guess you're right. Thanks for the tips. ill set the route and dates and anyone who wants to come can come

Great idea and if I can't make it I will post my cell as I'll be keen for next time. Like the sound of that maraitai ride.

[skinman]

the maraitai/clevedon/kiaua ride is great, did it today, but it is a quite long drag back on the m/way

[Cayman911]

Houseman you're busy this weekend so maraetai can happen another time when you can come.

Saturday the 8th 10:15AM Botany Pak'n'Save gas station meet., gonna have a small ride in city, from Botany to the city centre and so on. and not through the motorway, which makes it more fun. Can go along mission bay to the city, and then decide either go forward (to like devonport or something if we can be bothered) or head back ( can be decided on the day).

Anyone who wants to join me feel free to count themselves in and let me know so i know to wait
