    Which means if it is top of bombays and we get away on time be there just before 9.00. Pink Ribbon Ride doesnt start til 10.30 and apart from leathal (whose doing the business) getting there 9.45ish - 10.00ish should be fine. How long does it take from top of bombays to the netball courts and do you know the way - if so cool - if not we will be mapping it!!
    Mill Rd Bombay BP.... We normally weet nearer the entry side beside where the fenced area is

    As long as I get together Saturday for the pre ride I dont need to be super early.... but I would still be a little early, 9:00 gathering at the netball courts but the ride leaves 10:30. There is riffle tickets etc so its good to be a little earlyer than the ride leave time.

    I will probably leave 8:30-:45 but I will update that after touching base tomorrow as I might be able to leave a little later if enough is already sorted in which I may be able to lead to the ride for those that dont know where it is.

    Metvuw forecast is still OK with Saturday weather clearing overnight allthough if it rains I will take the blaim as I washed my bike..... it often rains first outing after being washed

    i've tried to post a map link...this is for the bp on mill road at the top of the bombay hills...from there it's probably a good 40 minutes (i think...mr.leathal can you confirm the approx ride time from the hill down to the netball courts???)
    i think you may be right...best be early rather than late...so closer to 8:30 would be betterer...

    Even if it did take 40 mins from Bombay to courts - why would you want to be at courts at 9.10 am (if you left Bombay at 8.30) when the ride starts at 10.30??? Are you on organising comm like Mr leathal?? If so - As you were

    we will stop in anyway so if we see ya see ya
    YOU ARE A LONG TIME DEAD!! ENJOY LIFE WHILE YOU HAVE IT!!

    Forecast looks good - Even better starts out good in the Waikato - still trying to generate more interest but as always, see who turns up on the day!!

    Hope they get a great turn out

    BP Bombays, me, ikiebikie, mz tuilip at least will be there.

    done my ride brief.... I don't need to be there early just at my post before the ride gets there..... So I will leave BP with the rest about 9, I should be there earlier than 9.... still have to sort a few other bikes out, only just got back from town..... next time the daughter wants a singers autograph the answer is NO! (Not one direction) 2 bloody hours killing time while she waited in line

    look out for the black cruiser dressed in pink (well some of it)

    That was fun, really well-organised, was nice to stick to suburban streets and have a fair few locals come out and wave as we went past, lots of bikes, no need to stop anywhere, well done all round .
