Port Waikato to Raglan day ride.

[Crisis management]

As rashly promised.......

A one day ride from Auckland (or wherever and join in somewhere) to Port Waikato and Raglan and places surrounding on Sunday 20th May.

Meet at the Autobahn, Papakura, departing at 9.00am and return about 5ish.

I have no definite route planned yet and, as usual, am open to suggestions. The only things guaranted are as much gravel as we can find, mud, fun and semi literate conversation.

This goes ahead unless the weather conditions are atrocious.

Some indication of numbers and any suggestions welcome!

[Superweetard]

Ill be there,done most of that before it's a great ride

[windboy]

Hmmmm, sounds bit steep mate. I've deposit ed the funds anyway...

I guess there and back on the same route...? If you look in the map there are a few variations. Maybe check the tides and see if we could do a portion of the way back on the beach...?

[Crisis management]

I'll have to get a map that goes that far south....mine stops at the Bombays!

Beach sounds good, low tides about middle of the day so it could work!



Rushes off to discover whats over the bombays.........

what about us waikato riders where do we meet

Having not worked out a proper route, at this stage, I have no idea! Does that help?

My rough route at this stage goes something like, Auckland, Pukekohe, Port Waikato, Raglan, Mount Pirongia, Port waikato, Auckland. Scaled of the Globe on my desk that looks like about 350 km's....

As I said before, I'm open to suggestions, but I plan to get this finalised by the end of the next week.

As far as non auckland riders go, it's a matter of finding somewhere that suits you to meet us. I have no problem with minor diversions / alterations to include others.

Let us know where would work for you!

Still waiting for my garage to be finished so I can get my bikes out of storage.I have the TLR200 out for a trial on sunday.I'll see if I can sneak the XT600 out and into work and finish a few details on it.If I can sort it in time I'll be there.

Hmmm, I may join you guys, but I'll stay off the beach. I've done a very similar ride in January, but went all the way to Kawhia. Would you go up Klondyke road?
