Sun 11th (starts with PF)

**aff-man** · 31st August 2005, 17:21

Well on sunday the 11th i'll be looking at starting out with PF and the slow-medium ride. Then heading from wellsford up a loop of sorts I did ages ago. Will consult a map for a refresher but it involved some awesome twisties, quick sweepers and a few sedate straights. All welcome but the pace will be medium (me) to fast.

This is the route. It has a bit of motorway riding but we can skip mangawai and just come back the way we went or something i dunno.

Ant tells me that Waipu-Mangawhai rd is a bit shitty at the moment. We'll check it out this Sun and report back here for you.

The brynderwyns are queer - I always go the long way...

Recommend filling in Whangarei as well, but I will be filling at Maungatapere. I have to go pass there to go to Whangarei or anywhere South as I live on Mangakahia Rd. This makes Maungatapere a good meeting place for me. Rung Pam and Kevin. They might be able to join us there after Milking.
Recommend leaving Maungatapere by 9:30am (no later than 9:45) to make Wellsford by 11am using to following route:
Maungatapere - Otaika Vly Rd - SH1 - Maungakaramea Rd -Turning left at Maungakaramea on the Rd that passes Tauraroa Area School - Turn left onto the Mangapai/Oakleigh Rd - Then first right onto Oakleigh/Paparoa Rd - SH12 - SH1 to Wellsford.
Here We'll meet the other KBers and join Aff & Lou for a hoon back home

Agree with John here. Plenty of good Twisties on the route Aff is taking without messing with the Brynderwyns. Too many

and

cagers. Besides the Pizza Barn at Waipu is the best and we would have eatten at Wellsford anyway. Why have another Kai stop?

I'll be driving up Mangawai way for holiday this week, heading back next Wed. I'll

if the roads are in a shit

condition....

The last few times we went through, the Pizza Barn has been closed.

Sorry I Ass-U-Me-d that the Ak'ers were going via Old North Rd not Helensville. The means that, if they leave Westgate by 10am and go via Helensville, they will not get to Wellsford until well after 11:30am (it may even take them longer than that). If Pacidfemme could conform that this is definitely the route they are taking, then the Whangarei lot would only have to leave Maungatapere by 10am (and not 9:30am as I had posted in the above quote).
