We meet at Sandbar and TSS and the two groups come together along the Quays ...so its not really a meeting but a re-grouping ... and we will be led to parliament from there.

Why not ride to the Sand Bar or TSS? Its only a wee scoot up the motorway and its a whole lot better to ride with the group of most of the ride.
Just a thought.

It depends what you call close to town. The Hutt group will leave at 11:05 go down Cuba to the Esplanade and then join SH2 to the "slip road" (20mins) whilst the Sandbar/Paremata group will leave at 11 and just mosey dwn SH1 to the slip road (25mins).

The 'slip road' is the road into the CentrePort complex at the lights opposite the Westpac Stadium. Both groups will then go to Parliament via the city (10mins).

Thanks,

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

Just realised the bike is out of WOF. I'm out until about 2pm tomorrow so doubt I can get it done in time. Not a good idea to be where I can get noticed without one so If I can't organise one tomorrow, I'll have to give the ride a miss.

The last time I had to try 3 different VTNZ's to find one that did bikes.
VTNZ in Seaview is the only place that I know of and they close at 12.00.

Does anyone know a place in the Wellington region that does bike WOF's on Saturdays and don't close until about 4pm.

Yeah! But would hate to get a spot check done on the way home.

Err, why do you go to a VTNZ?

GO to a bike shop.

Like TSS.
