Ride 15/04/06 Ham to Kawhia, Long way round

**PaddyFZ1** · 10th April 2006, 19:58

On Saturday im planing on headn to Kawhia for fish n chips for lunch. Instead of taking the main road (sh31), i was planing to head south to Otorohanga, Waitomo, Te Anga, Kawhia for lunch and back to Ham. Not to sure of the route home but will probably sort this out as the day progresses.
Will take a few back roads as i know this area quite well.
Will be a good ride for those who are keen to see another part of our great country.
Would like to be on the road at about 9:30ish. But will finalise this closer to the date.

Wheather dependant, but lookin good at this stage.

If you are intending to join me for this ride could you meet at the Pizza Hutt carpark, on Ulster St. (opposite Pak n Save) at 9:20. Hope to leave 9:30ish.

See you then.

That's the problem with long weekends. There's plenty of rides happening but I'm not around dammit.

Thanks all for a great day out. Good to go over some roads i havent been on in a long time.
These are some awesome roads, plenty of corners, bugger all traffic, even for the long weekend. Will definately be out doin it again soon.
