Ride this Saturday 15th

**Quasievil** · 9th May 2004, 21:43

Ive made an executive desision and the ride to Sunday, It would be better for all that the front which is coming across the country today and forecast to leave late Saturday is well gone Hope this put anyone of.
I would rather the ride was as safe and as enjoyable as possible, besides I suck in the wet!!!!

Whos up for a ride on saturday leaving from Hamilton 10.30am, as posted on the events calendar??
We tried a two weeks ago with no weather in our favour but hopefully this coming weekend will be a goodin

in brief leaving Hamilton, to KihiKihi to Wharepapa south, to Mangakino, to Bennydale, to Tekuiti, then back up via State 3 or back of Waitomo.
I want to get an idea of numbers and who else knows the ride so the various speed groups has a guide etc. Also to advise the cafes on the route for lunch stops etc....

We meet ? on the Loop ride ? cant recall so many new faces
the roads are Fucken outstanding, Starts longer straights and nice open corners, a few long fast bits then after a bit it tightens up around Wharepapa
With nice smooth close corners a couple of lumpy ones but alot of it was resurfaced 3 months ago around Mangakino, it gets tighter by the Damn then opens up into sweepers joined up with open stretches around Bennydale, The roads are all great bike roads, you will love it. This is one of the most popular rides in the Waikato
the roads are very good condition overall, at least last time I went. the roads are varying throughout so its a exciting ride.
Hope its what youre looking for !!
