Have you ridden 22 before?

unless you are quite fast, I don't think you'll get to Hamilton on time.

What he said mark. see you there ben, we should have heaps of time to get there if we leave at 7:30 or 8

It seems as though the majority want to head down 22.

Even if we leave at 8 we should be able to make it down by 9:30.

However, I would recommend that those trying 22 for the 1st time leave it for the return journey home and choose SH1 for the morning ride.

By the way please fuel up and go to the toilet, etc at the Autobahn meeting point, I'd like to ride non stop to our fuel-up point in Hamilton.

I'll be heading down the boring SH1 and thinking of taking the left just past the bridge going into Cambridge. Gets a little less boring from there.

No 22 for me as I think I'll still be half asleep.

JSG - I would like to disagree with you... as by the time they have all ridden all day there ... had a feed etc etc... and then riding back home, those that have not ridden 22 before, may be very tired and they could make the odd mistake as 22 is very windy.

But then it does depend on each indivual rider.

Even when I do 22 one way I get very tired as one has to really concentrate on those roads. I have riden 22 down and back up SH1 after having a decent feed in Hamilton.

I know what you're saying Crashe.

However the ride down to meet Quasi will not be slow. We have to be in Hamilton at a certain point and can't wait too long at intersections.

On the way back the pace will most likely be more cruisy as riders will be tired, also we will have time to wait for others at intersections for as long as is needed.

Probly won't do 22 on the way back either... will be running out of light I think.

Usually a good way is not 22 but just stay to the west side of the river.... I'll show you then

anyway... may I say it again. IT LOOKS TO BE A LONG DAY!

**Quasievil** · 20th June 2006, 21:26

Well my advise for what its worth, you should all come down SH1, reason, 22 on a either wet or frosty morning wont be cool, and it will take you about two hours and on top of that you still have 6 hours in the saddle to go once you get into Hamilton.

go main drag and let the day warm up, you will get ya chance at some twisties later.

Listen to the vioce of reason people

**Turtle** · 20th June 2006, 21:47

I think that if youre lookin at goin through Cambridge you could be on your own as im sure the ride is more likely to be headin TeAwamutu ways.....but I have been wrong once b4

Hey let the heroes do what they want.

I'll be taking SH1 myself.

For me the point of this jafa ride is only to meet your group - after that the ride begins. Therefore I'll be taking the simplest and quickest route to meet you.
