Sat 31 July Ride

[mattt]

Right - word from the shop is that I'm back on 2 wheels Friday, so looking to get a group of guys and gals for a Saturday Blat. Leaving from the Autobarn. Any suggestions for rides? I'm Hawkes Bay born and bred.....

Hi mattt & welcome to KB.

Let us know what time you're thinking of meeting at Autobahn Papakura, and weather permitting I may join you for a few hours riding? Should be able to show you some cool roads "out of Auckland".
I'm keen on an early start, say meet at 9am? Need to be home between 1-2pm.

You could always do 22, I think FF knows the way ?

Mmm - Yep F/F has given me the intro to the 22 on my old bike.
How does the Coromandel loop sound? I think the weather's going to be ok, maybe take off 10-ish...

Keen to come, but the Coromandel loop is a whole day (especially starting at 10:00) and like Zed I need to be back fairly early, so either a different route or an earlier start would suit me better.

[mattt]

Yeh I thought it was a long one. Maybe meet at 9, and decide when we meet at the autobarn...

Is this to be a "fast", "Medium" or "open to all" ride. The weather is looking good and I will pot along if it is any of the latter rides. Just got to be back for work by 3pmish. Damn its 75kms to the Autobahn from here

And where would that somewhere else be, I wonder...

[mattt]

Sounds like we're venturing down the 22.....

[Darryboy]

Curse the proximity of the two Autobahns!

So is it the first (left) or second (right) one when going southbound?
Only ever been to the second one and I remember seeing a KB sticker in the mens thats my guess, am I wrong?

[mattt]

First one on the left heading south. 10am by the looks of things so far...

[loosebruce]

Yeah im in, bike is going good for once (touch wood), i gotta late finish on night shift friday but i'll drag my arse outta bed for 10am at pap autobahn, 9am is pushing it but i'd make it with one eye half open, maybe. I start work at 5pm so anywhere is all good, sh22 sounds cool or even kopu over to whangamata then onto waihi and back through to paeroa is a pretty sweet ride, 5 hours or so cruising i think??
