ATNR (Auckland Thursday night ride) - Discussion thread

**Gubb** · 14th December 2007, 15:48

No worries, had a good ride anyway. Was cool finding some sweet new roads, even if it was slightly further than I expected.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to meet next week, I fly back to Welly on Friday morning, and don't return until Sunday.

Will be a definite starter for next year though.

Just a small reminder about next week - The last ATNR for the year will be on FRIDAY night.

Here is the thread here

I owe you a beer buddy!

No probs mate I enjoy helping ppl out ( not that I'm turning down a free beer

)
so if there is anybody out there that needs anything I have indoor workspace, a fair amount of tools and 20+ years of tinkering with bikes and cars, give me a PM and I might be able to help

So I will put it up here
Its that time of the year again and for the last ride of 2007!

What: A ride up north in the hills, finishing with dinner
When: Friday the 21st December
Where: Shell WESTGATE (end of the North Western Motorway)
Why: Last Ride of the Year!
Time: Meeting there from 6.30pm talk shit and kick tyres then depart @ 7pm
How: On ya bike, stupid!
Pace: Open to all as long as you dont ride snail pace As long as you can comfortably ride 100kph on the open road.

Last ride of the year for the ATNR. Yes it is on a Friday night, I've got a work do on the Thursday so Friday is better for me and hopefully some others(plus you can sleep in next day). Dinner will be up at Walkworth at the Bridgehouse Lodge (in the main street by the river). Same route taken a couple of weeks ago..........

Anyone who cannot come on the ride itself /not keen on riding is still very welcome to join us up there for a social get-together 8.30pm onwards (bring ya cage if ya want....)

The route will be discussed on the night (for obvious reasons ). For those concerned about distance/time the ride will last for approx 1 1/5hr and will be 150 - 200kms round trip. We start at Westgate, have dinner in Walkworth then head back home (sometimes in packs).

IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT ABOUT WEATHER/RIDING CONDITIONS
IT WILL BE POSTED UP ON THE THREAD 5.30PM ON THE DAY OF THE RIDE

I can think of a few, but no doubt I will end up infracted if I suggest them in open forum.

Should be there on friday, weather and twisted ankle dependant.

I was thinking RIP might be coming up once his licence is back but couldn't think of a witty way to write it!

You would have to do it the day before I get my new GSX1400, wouldn't you.

**more_fasterer** · 20th December 2007, 11:57

Or who can't ride on Friday night, and is hoping there'll be others in the same boat.
