**phase** · 1st June 2004, 18:54

I'll come, depending on weather situation.

Any idea on a route?

**Two Smoker** · 1st June 2004, 18:58

Count me in graeth, rain or shine....... What kind of pace is it going to be? Just so i can plan to get faster to keep up with you guys

......... Do you mind if Milky and PT come on a 400 and 650 respectively.......

I'll see if I can bring my TZR250 back to life by then, just needs a little gasket for the side cover but I haven't even touched it (literaly) for a few months now cause I don't have anytime

If it's the weekend after the 13th I'd be keen (mid - exams that weekend)

K guys, sorry i havent replied, i actually forgot that i put this up. I got the rest of the week off so i'll put some of my time into planning a route.

Andrew your help would be very much appreciated, it will be my first planned ride so i will need the help.

Pace will be legal limit (up to about 120/130kmh) on the open road if "safe" so i dont see any reason why those two on the bigger bikes can't come.

I'll post some times and places later on in the week once i've sorted out where we are going.

Looking forward to it. Heres hoping for sunshine

Yea I hope I can make the ride that you've got planned for, which ever day it is. Right now I'm preparing for exams and handing in last assesments so could be quite busy. I'll keep watching this space anyhow - and make sure you PM me if you'd like help with routes etc.

That is assuming we go south!

Ok guys, my current route (not specific).
Meet on the shore at X location, head north on the motorway to silverdale/coatesville and follow the old highway through to helensville (led by andrew) then back to westgate then proceed south on the western motorway to check out where ever Aff-Man has in mind. Im thinking about 2-3hrs riding involved from start to finish. So a full tank would be good idea

So when can everyone be ready by??? Im thinking start at 12 and finish up round 3, depending on where we end up going. Also, where is a landmark/location that everyone should know?

by the way this is for sunday!!!

Gareth: Depending on where you start from, when heading north, you should get off at Oteha Valley rd turn right and take East Coast road up to silverdale, then you can just turn left and head over the motorway and head down SH17 or whatever it is. Just means you dont have to sit on the boring motorway hehe.

Ill come along after september when ive got rid of the L plate heh.
