Eastish Auckland Sunday run

**Maverick** · 4th August 2006, 21:27

Hey Guys,
I am hoping to pick up my bike tomorrow, and It would be cool to go for a nice gentle run on sunday (weather permitting) to stretch its legs and get to know it, Anyone Central/East'ish Auckland keen to go for a cruise? I notice some people were talking about one a while back?

I'm out by Botany Downs - managed to get up at the crack of a sparrow's fart this morning and went for a run out toward Whitford/Maraetai managed to get about an hour and a half of nice riding - turned back when the weather turned pish though. Never mind, spring will soon be upon us then us Eastie 250's can gather like a swarm of angry gnats and head for the twisties.....

ive been a couple of routes out east...one was right out to maraitai from whitford/clevdon....another was out to clevdon through some nasty tight stuff that was a bit damp and patchy in places...didnt enjoy that one too much as i was still learning to ride...might like it a bit better now
