**cowboyz** · 8th June 2006, 21:06

We are off about 5pm from palmytown off to wellington and back. Plan to go through shannon and then over haywoods. Anyone keen?

**ldnz** · 8th June 2006, 21:22

Yeah im up for it. It'll be a chilly one!

**MattRSK** · 8th June 2006, 21:27

What sort of speed are we looking at here. I really would be keen.

**cowboyz** · 8th June 2006, 21:34

I am on 80 points so whatever speed you set as long as the cop pulls you up first.

Honestly.. we dont go much over 130 and will be sitting on 110 on the main roads.

**cowboyz** · 8th June 2006, 21:36

meet outside Jaspers bar on fairs road if your keen at 4.30. I going to bed now and then working all day tomorrow. will check thread in morning but after that Im gone.

**MattRSK** · 8th June 2006, 21:36

Oh yeah sounds good. You may have the points but I have the negative cash balance which keeps me in check. So do we have a meeting point for this night ride.

**MattRSK** · 8th June 2006, 22:04

Sorry cowboyz I wont be able to make this one due to work commitments

. Will have to come along on another ride soon.

Fantastic night ride. Would be well up there with one of the best I would say. 3 of us went down and my gps read 299km in 3:44:18. Total time was 5:16:50. We had to wait a while while Meanie and recovered from the oogling at the young blondes running round lower hutt. The weather was perfect and the ride of the pikcock (sp?) hill was great. Have to get over there in the daylight one day. All you Wellington guys rave about the rimitakas but why not rave about this piece of road? I loved it.

Yeah it was really nice. Top speed was achieved when cowboyz had to make a dash for shannon or risk ruining his leathers...

The hill was brilliant, got a nearly clear run through both ways.

Anyways thanks for having me along gentlemen, we'll have to do it again sometime.
