The original post implies this will be a moderately fast ride.
Kawagreen - what are you doing on this ride? Sign yourself off before anyone sees.

This is the one that caters to those of us who enjoy sleeping in and still have the ability (or at least think we have) to do the late run to Paeroa via the Clevedon/Miranda loop to turn up sometime shortly after the racing begins.

As per previous years, we don't want to miss too much, so we won't be sticking around. (SpankMe can tell you all about his birdstrike incident).

I can collect people at Caltex/BK Mt Wellington for a 9:15 depart, but the official meet up will be the usual place:

What: The 2006 Pearoa battle of the streets spectators late run, that's what!
Where: Shell Clevedon.
When: Meet up from 9:40 or so for a 10:00am departure.
How: Looping via Kaiaua/Miranda and finishing at Paeroa.
Special Instructions: Meet new KB'ers and organise your own way home.
Special Instructions for Nhuanh: Don't be a plonker this year.

The 'normal' meeting place & place to dump gear actually at the races is on the "grassy knoll" overlooking the hairpin.

There is normally another ride that leaves around 8:30 or so for those who prefer a more direct route and/or sedate pace. I'm sure the ride details will be posted soon (hint, hint).

Hi Drunken Monkey,

I have been asked take over the OTHER ride to Paeroa on Sunday which ZXER was organising. I was wondering if I can bring our group (currently leaving from BP in Manukau @ 9:30) and just come and meet up with you guys and we all ride together (you lead the way). It would be pretty silly having two rides 10min apart :eyepoke:

We should all be there before 10, if not could you hang around for a little while till we get there?

Cheers, saffa

Yeah, no probs. Don't know about me leading the way though, I can never remember which right turn to take to Ngatea...

For those who don't know the route:
Leave Clevedon Shell, going North
Right at the round-a-bout
Follow the road...
Keep following...
Keep following...
Stop for a head count
Turn inland at the shops
Keep following...
Keep following...
Stop at Miranda for a head count
Stop at the main highway Mobil for another head count
Turn left, follow the highway
Turn right to Ngatea (I think it's the 4th or 5th right) = when we figure this one out, can you please turn then STOP and make sure the person behind you has seen you before proceeding.
Go down the straight bit, splatter a few birds
Left at Ngatea (maybe another head count, but if you're lost by this point, you're long gone)
Paeroa = fin

Sweet, I'll bring a map just incase

Hi there the right turnoff is just past the steel girder bridge which is at the miranda turnoff or turn on which ever way you want to look at it the road that you turn right onto is called west canal road if you miss it no probs cos east canal road is just over the canal and runs paralel with west canal road at the end of ether of these roads you turn left and this brings you into ngatia

Cheers
