Any suggestions welcome!

nash is good cause you can park on the footpath, and sit outside watching the bikes, and the world go by. and it's a pub. onyx has nice meals, and coffee, plenty of footpath parking. good place for yummy mummies. lily pad is out of town 5 mins. nice cafe but gravel carpark.

new bar in town called the GPO - funnily enough it's in the old post office building. has outside tables, footpath parking, and if i can move on from an early kick-out for wearing shorts after 5pm in the summer time (yes, they were a little anal but softened once a letter to the paper war started) it's actually quite nice. i'd go there before onyx.

Masters event, over 35's (hair to be greying or dyed) :sherlock: cruise crawl from Autobarn, Papakura to Cambridge and back via Gordonton.

What a damn good idea. Im in! Although I may need some help pushing the bike around some corners

Thought may stop in Tirau, rather than Cambridge, for lunch, then come back via 27, turn off towards morrinsville and go that way back to SH1, then head back north.

Idea is to get back into jafaville before sun strike sets in and the country bumpkins get let out!

For those who don't know, the Autobarn is off the Southern Motorway, just past the Papkura off ramp heading south. You will see a turn off under an over bridge, look for big BP servo.

Well grey yes, died, not right now, 35 no, never.

Pre 72, well if you take those tooth picks out from under my nails I might admit it.

But I think the winning line is "Mid life crisis", gave up a bike for a chick 11 years ago, now i have given up the chick for the bike, and got a chick that is bike friendly instead. Wow, this is what life is really like!

Count me in!

Now that was a smart move! lol I saw a T'shirt for you recently, it read
"She said if I go out riding one more time she's gonna leave... I will miss her tits.
lol
Enjoy.

Is that a respectable establishment? Or one where they wuld let me and Petal in?

Are you having a mid life crisis? Just back in the saddle or starting your bike career at 35+. Love going fast in a straight line and then pushing your ride around the corners?

Oh that sounds just right for Petal. Though in her case it's "pull" round the corners, to haul the rear half of the bike back into contact with the front half, On account of the elastic has perished in the frame main hinge. So the front half goes this-away, and the rear half goes that-a-way, then the elastic catches up and pulls the rear half back again, "boinggggg", and it overtakes the front half.

Only problem with sprung frames the elastic perishes. Chicks have a similar problem with the elastic in knickers. Result's the same in both cases, pubic embarassment, give or take an ell. (thaz godda b da best pun, ever!)

Ixion ...please leave us gals knickers out of this. Unless of course you speak from experience

Sounds great. A few stops along the way is good, time to pop the hip in and gossip about those whipper snappers, and how it wasnt like that in my day.
And if there is nap time I will bring my tartan travelling rug.
