Heya - how long is this ride? Is there a social component to your Sunday rides (e.g. coffee stop and a yarn) or do you just turn up, ride round the planned route, then split for home?Originally Posted by BuckBuck#1
It'd be nice to meet some other KBers but I was thinking of going for a longer Sunday jaunt.

The ride up through Whiteman's Valley and out to Maymorn and Te Marua, returning over the Mangaroa Hill and Wallaceville Hill is about 45 minutes.
The route brings you back to Silverstream for a McDonalds (sometimes I arrive early and have a McD's breakfast), however last fortnight having finished the loop ride at Wallaceville Hill, three of us enjoyed a ride up to the Rimutaka Hill summit.
The rides are very low key, and this particular ride and route presents various challenges in the rural setting.

I'm going over to Martinborough early on Sunday morning.
This is an excellent riding skills program.
(For those that want to do the Wellington City and Sea ride this Sunday by all means enjoy and I will see you the following week.)

I'll be at the city and sea ride tomorrow weather or not anyone else shows up.
so there will be at least one person doing it. albeit a complete noob.

Enjoy the ride around the harbour and bays. The Cornerstore Cafe and Bar at the end of the ride is a good spot.
Meanwhile, I hope the weather is kind, in the morning at least for you.
Fair weather rider

Did think about going over but don't fully trust the ginny to get over there and back.
