Auckland 250 ONLY ride

**R6_kid:Me** · 14th July 2005, 00:29

ALL RIGHT THEN! HERE IS THE PLAN (edit: PLANNED ROUTE AND MEETING POINT CHANGED)

DATE IS THIS SATURDAY 23rd OF JULY
PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF MEETING PLACE AND DESTINATION

WE WILL NOW MEET AT SHELL WESTGATE READY TO LEAVE FOR 11PM.

DESTINATIONS WILL BE AS FOLLOWS:
SHELL - MURIWHAI - KAUKAPAKAPA - WARKWORTH - SILVERDALE - EAST COAST ROAD

This is due to the current conditions on Scenic Drive being apparently very very shit and not good for learner riders. As this is a ride for learners/250's/newbies i would prefer that we enjoy our time and as such would rather avoid Scenic Drive purely because of the risk of binning it.

The ride has also been shortened as i have been advised that the previous 400km+ ride is simply too long for inexperienced riders to cope with.

Other more experienced 250 riders are more than welcome to break off and follow the previously planned route if they feel the need too.

PACE: SLOWish - MEDIUM
If you have any questions PM me or text me on 0272532246. If you txt me tell me your alias on here or i wont have a clue who you are

will stop for lunch somewhere along the way.

BAD WEATHER ALTERNATE WILL BE SUNDAY THE 24th or postponed til the next weekend.
I WILL POST AT 9PM WHETHER I INTEND TO GO AHEAD AND DO THE RIDE

HERES THE MAP OF WHERE IT STARTS, SHELL IS JUST EAST OF TITIRANGI SHOPS

I have to be in Hamilton on Saturday evening, but I should be able to make it for part of the day.

**R6_kid:Me** · 14th July 2005, 11:44

shall we make it on the saturday then. John you gonna trek down from whangarei? What you mean bout lakes...

I think we could go titirangi - scencic - west to muriwhai - coatesville riverhead - silverdale - east coast road?

Not the best route but we get to include scenic, have some good pic ops at muriwhai then some fun across coatesville and down east coast rd.

As for the thing about lines, next time your out justsomeguy find keystone19, she's on the vtr250 with the givi screen, i normally tag behind her coz she takes really nice lines.

**Keystone19** · 14th July 2005, 11:59

Yeah, but I'm not on a ZXR so I might not keep up with you guys...

If they hold it on a Saturday, I might not be able to go (work

), but if I can I'll ride with you Keystone19, don't mind not hooning it

The route that they're described is a busy section and more than likely will be a few coppers waiting to full thier quotas... by the time we go past the boys will have fulled the cops nice and plenty

heheheh

Well it's the only road within half an hour of my house that I can manage to do a quick after work blat on.

I've been going there about once or twice a week for the past 5 years - Mostly in my car and for the past 5 months on my bike.

Don't smoke or drink - I find one lap of cheenic dwive cures any stress I have - especially at night - when it's pitch black - so peaceful and there's no cages

However I'm still wayyyyy faster in a car..... so I ain't that great....
