Mickdastardly and i are keen for a ride tomorrow dependant on the weather, any riders welcome to come along.

Havent decided where we gonna stop for kai and drinks yet, but can do so prior to leaving.

Will be a very cruisy ride nothing over 109km/h (im on my GT250R Hyosung and Mickdastardly on Yamaha SR250)

Havent been on this route before so if anyone who has and is avaialble to lead the way then that would be great.

Meeting at Rimutex 0900hrs Depart at 0930hrs.

Go to Martinborough.
Then Martinborough to Gladstone and Masterton.
Then Masterton to Alfredton,
Alfredton to Eketahuna.
Then North along SH2 and take the Mangamaire turn off on the left.
Link up to the Pahiatua Track.
Then Pahiatua track through to Palmy then Shannon, Levin, and down to Paekakariki and over the hill back to Haywards and Then into the Hutt Valley.

And in the Words of Jim2 "Do NOT drone up SH2 or I'll hunt you down and kill you. Clear!" Yes Jim - zero droning to take place.

Running in Delta Lima Six Five Zero: Martinborough/Gladstone would be okay for me then I'll peel off back home.

**Steam** · 30th March 2007, 21:38

I'm going to do the same route tomorrow but by meself. Riding in a group still stresses me out.

Love to join you guys but I'm about to don the leathers and head over to Matrinborough in 5 mins. Ride the hill, play a round of golf, ride the hill back. I may even ride the hill 2-3 more times before I come home.
Take it easy going over there. That wet stuff we had overnight will make it a little slippy.

Well the forcast isnt fantastic, but its worth heading out and can reassess at top of rimutakas, and if still good reassess at martinborough.

See you at 0900hrs
