Just a suggestion but....
Why don't the 'townies' to meet up at 9:45am (outside Wellingtom M/c's), all fuelled up and ready to rock and roll....
If you all leave at 10:00 you should make Caltex Rimutaka by 10:30 where the Kapiti contingent can meet you, talk a load of old toot and leave there at 10:45...
Regroup at the top of the hill so we can show off our steely gazes (and assorted heroic accoutriments which will vary with gender and age but not usually race) and draw admiring gazes from the general populace and assorted fanboys and camp followers....
Decamp from the top of the hill once everyone has calmed down and head for martinborough (3 laps of the square please) where we will enjoy a splendid lunch and mediocre coffe..
From there we could back road to greytown for a bit of gawking at shops selling overpriced crap while I sit (somewhat grumpily) and suck up better coffee...
Then head home over the terrible hill to get home early and in time to relax in a nice bath with a glass of bubbly...

Im surprised at how much interest a "newbie/cautious" ride has generated to be honest!! But YES YES and YES anyone and everyone welcome, it's definately good to have as much feedback etc about the ride as possible, so please don't anyone be disuaded by the title of the thread.
What im hoping is that someone can come up with a good meeting place/s etc then those that want to join the ride can just meet us there . . . I would think of somewhere myself, but as I mentioned earlier I realy don't know my way around Wellys

There really are a lot of people that ride bikes that don't want to tear about the place on the rev limiter ALL the time, hence the attraction...
A gentle bimble over the hill on a nice sunny late winters day is just the ticket!

This looks awesome Str8. I think Ill be getting up uber early (never sleep much before riding these days) so will probably ride into town to meet you guys.

Hmm, maybe you just need to toughen up, ah?! (pt)
Be good if you could meet me @ WMCC, cause if no one else does then I won't be going anywhere - I wouldn't have a clue how to get to Caltex Rimutaka, let alone how to get to the Taka's.

yeah thats what I tell Vicki to... Oh...*ahem* its through anticipation, not nervousness

Ah! A flaw in the plan...
Let me know if no one else (that knows the way) joins in as we could be talked into coming into town (reluctantly). It's very simple.
Wellington M/C. Head towards the basin reserve then throw a U turn and get onto Wakefield St and follow all the way to the cake tin. Get up the motorway on ramp and out onto the motorway towards the Hutt Valley.
get into the middle lane and keep heading to the Hutt valley...
Stay on shw 2 all the way to upper hutt
Caltex Rimutaka is the HUGE petrol station on the left just before the Akatarawa turn off...

Rest In Peace
How about WMC for the first meeting place. 9:45
Bottom of Maungaraki hill for the second. 10:15
Caltex Rimutaka for the third. 10:45
That gives time for people who miss the first meet(s) are able to catch up.
Forum whore
I could lead them to Caltex Rimutaka from Maungaraki.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
Rest In Peace
Cheers Jim........are you is going to be wearing a Hi Vis vest?
I think the Hi-lighter look may suit you.
