Wellington Weekend Ride Group

[ital916]

Hello

Looking to start up a regular gathering of bikers to ride with in Wellington on the weekends. I have just moved to the windy city so am looking at making some new riding friends and getting in touch with the motorcycling community down here.

I don't care what you ride, how old you are, whether you are a guy or girl or anything. The only thing I care about is that you want to ride!

I was thinking meet in the city and head out from there. Same place every sat or sun. This makes it easy for people to get into the groove and will create a regular hang out hub.

I don't ride ultra fast, not a slow poke either. Usual group ride rules will apply etc etc.

So yeah, not a complex situation, meet on a weekend, chat, hang out, ride, eat and be merry! Come on wellingtonians, lets see that friendliness that everyone harps on about.

Routes etc can be discussed on day or before on here if wanted.

Oh and I know there is a wed and thurs ride but I work 6 till 6 everyday so not much energy to go on rides on weekdays.

Feel free to add and contribute!

Check out the Wellington Riders FB page. Regular rides arranged there. There's a ride over the Gladstone planned for Sunday. If you don't know already, 2 regular meeting points for Welly riders. The Duck Pond, Avalon and the Caltex garage upper hutt (commonly known as rimutex).

There is a facebook page......I did not know this. Mucho gracias. Are the rimutakas still gravel at the top or sealed now?

Sealed apart from the odd 30mtr compacted gravel for road works. They are constantly changing it as they reroute the road but it is nothing at all to worry about. Learners and Restricted riders have managed it in the last few weeks so not an issue.

Learner friendly Group ride to Galdstone pub for lunch today. Meeting at Rimutex, Upper Hutt 10:00am for a 10:30 depart. There will be the usual group split between the faster riders and the more leasurely of us including a rider brief before departing.
We normally regroup at set locations so as not to loss folks.

Hey I'm definitely keen for some weekend rides in Wellington. I'm based in Welli central so keen to meet close to town, and I'm not on BookFace, so I'd be stoked if someone could post the rides up here. Only able to ride every second weekend or so because we have a new baby, but would like to meet some other riders and not usually free on week nights.

hi Rusty,

i will try and remember to let you know about the FB rides. Great bunch of people, all ages, sizes, abilities. All caring riders. Rides usually split into two groups, slw/learners and faster riders. May do slightly differant routes but end up at then same end point. We are real lucky to have such awesome people in Welly

Shhhh... don't tell a soul but somewhere within the powers that be there's been a screw up and they've let a fine weekend slip through their dastardly net.

That's right A FINE FUCKING WEEKEND

So anybody for a ride?

[Bald Eagle]

Careful tempting fates there. The words chickens, counting and hatched come to mind .

Better be fine sunday, I have the day off and pillions get itchy feet after no rides too....

I would be keen. There is a big ride on already but I am really over riding in huge groups, much prefer a select few. Anyone else interested in getting out?
