ABSAR (Auckland Based Saturday Adventure Rides)

[10bikekid]

Am looking to do a perhaps monthly Saturday adventure ride, there are some other organised rides but unfortunately they are general on a Sunday (being a good church mouse and generally wanting a rest on a Sunday as well, they don't suit me)

Am about to fit a TKC80 front tire to the KTM to make it easier to get onto Murawia beach (bike doesn't steer well in the softer sand with the stock MT90) and have a DRBIG with Knobbies (Trail tires would probable be Ok for most rides on lighter bikes) and between that and the North and South Gravel roads within a 100ks or so of Auckland there are plenty of places to ride.

Anyone interested ?



Well its not raining so will kit up and head out to Murawia for a quick skirt before heading over to Action wreckers for a new warrant for DR

[That looks like fun]

Check out the northern gravel adventure riders, they seem fairly active up your way. Be aware their rides have a price.
Either that or you can head south and come on the free rides













or wait until they run the same ride and charge ya for it

Hi TLLF
Yep I am a member of that group but as I mentioned they mostly ride on a Sunday (when they ride Saturday am at most of their events and don't mind promoting them here either)

Have done the Forgotten Highway down your way a few time on KTM, its not really ADVriding as such but still a hoot with the 100mph gravel section in the middle

Well I know it looks bad out there but it is supposed to clear for Saturday, so if the planets line up and my Kenda K784 gets fitted to KTs front hoop tomorrow then a couple of us are planing to leave from Z gas station at Westgate at 9am heading towards metal roads on and up to Puhoi, up from there to West Coast Rd, back to Wisons Rd Parakia, onto the Beach and down to Murawia and Home,

If anyone else is interested let us know and will arrange meet up
