Is the 16th soon enough for you lot? Might have to cut back on a few things however if you are all desperate for a ride then it can happen next week.

I was looking at the 30th as my partner is going over to Thailand and I'm looking after my little girl. And she wont let me attach her carseat to the back of the bike, yet...

Sunday 16th for certain now, we will leave Westgate between 9:30am and 10:00 which should mean that we'll be back sometime before 4pm, 5pm at the latest if the shit talking is rife at the stops.

The route is fairly sedate, well for the start at least. We will head up SH16 primarily because its the only "decent" way up north. Once pass Wellsford we will go across to the coast and follow it up then loop around.

All up the route will be approximately 350 - 400km ... so a really decent ride.

SH16 has fresh roadworks at some parts but by the 16th this should be sorted. One or two (at the most) of the roads will be gravel, they'll be short, however it'll be nice to give the ride some character.

Nothing nasty, well driven gravel roads, unless you are an absoloute newbie this shouldn't be a problem. 5 - 10km + ish at the most of gravel. Dotted. This might change however.

Duration in time will be 4 - 6 hours, it all depends on how much shit talking goes on at the very few stops.

REMEMBER, this is more of an adventure ride, not a race or anything squidy.

I'll put more shit up later in a new thread and create a calendar event shortly.
