Te Whakawi U Turners Northland Ride (16-18 Nov)

[swbarnett]

i shall make us a nice treat or two for this ride

I'll definately have a batch or two of shortbread. Laced with chocolate and almonds (not together though). Might even bring along a moist chocolate cake if I can figure out what went wrong last time (probably the tin, worked much better in sillycone).

I'm very sorry to say, it looks like we're gonna have to miss this one unfortunately. Finances just aren't quite flexible enough this time. Sorry guys...

Real shame Scott...gonna miss the early morning alarm pot and booming voice.....
Lets hope the next event will be more affordable..couple of ideas in the head already...

Yeah, the race bike project has taken on a life of it's own, my expected budget has tripled pretty much overnight ... as they do though!

As Saturday's ride does an extended circle around where I live and the planned route actually will pass my letterbox the usual emergency facilities will be available.........

Fuel shouldn't be a problem for anyone - provided you start with a full tank at Kaitaia (4 different gas stations available) getting back to Coopers Beach will be easy.

Should it be needed my vehicle and trailer can handle up to 3 large motorcycles or up to 5 small ones so if someone has a mechanical (or any other) problem then the bike can be collected and stored safely under cover at my place. Talk to me very nicely and I may even be able to deliver it to Auckland.

All being well, I'll be sitting in the sunshine at Gull Whangarei when you all rock up on Friday morning.

There is a really scenic tar sealed coast road via Matauri Bay that could be ridden if anyone can persuade Maha to include this in the route for Friday afternoon. A very nice motorcycling road. Adds about 40 minutes to the afternoon ride.

Thanks Mark, hot scones and cup of tea at your place then?...or shall we just stick to Ice Cream with the Hippys?
An extra 40 mins doesn't sound that much, but we arrived at Coopers just after 4pm last time, and that was enough for one day after starting out at 9.30am.
If anyone wants to do That Matarui Bay loop, than thats fine....discuss this at Paihia over a salad and OJ...

ice cream

The road past Matauri Bay should be great for all, its a brilliant scenic route. Who ever is going to be with me, we'll be going that way with Mark

I will have a look at grouping people today.
Anyone can jump groups if they want to, before leaving, after each stop.

Jas and I will be heading that way this weekend hopefully. Will post if there are any nasty bits. Can be a bit of gravel after rain.

You better pull your finger out if your riding from Nuremberg.
