McJim's Short Notice Noobie Ride

**McJim** · 27th July 2007, 19:00

discussion thread for calendar event.

Well the forecast looks like it'll be Nasty on Sunday for gijoe1313's ride so for noobies looking to have their first group ride or some of us not so noobies looking for a gentle pootle we're meeting at Botany BP on SATURDAY 28th July 2007 11:00am for an 11:30 start.

Botany BP is on the corner of Ti Rakau Drive and Chapel Road. Plan is to avoid busy main roads wherever possible. I'll be following in the car to offer some protection to the tail end riders.

Route should cover about 200km of scenic New Zealand.

All welcome so long as you realise this ride is for introducing riders to group rides to help them get the best out of some of the bigger rides come summer.

My wife deserves a spin on the bike.

My children deserve a day out too.

Nearest family is 2,000km away.

This is the only solution to all of the above.

How to slip out for a ride without getting a

**McJim** · 27th July 2007, 22:09

A wee change of plan. A friend of mine whose kids are friends of our kids has offered to look after our kids for the duration of the ride.

Which means I'll be showing up upon a Ducati instead of in a Mitsubishi.

Whoopee!
