    eek Where do you ride

    Hi all,

    In the interest of finding a good ride for my friend who has just begun riding could anyone comment on some good rides and where they start.

    These are currently my favorites

    • Coromandel loop, although this is a bit long
    • Highway 22 - this is great
    • Whitford to maritai to clevedon to kawakawa bay, and then back


    What about rides out west? Up north? Who's got a favorite they can share, prefereably free of
    down, I"m going as fast as I can

    From Christchurch

    To Akaroa is good, any one going for a ride that way you can count me in!

    And we are going to go through Aurther Pass and loop back through lewis pass, that should be fun.

    Any suggestions on good places to ride in chch would be great as I'm not from round here

    I ride on the road, which is good. This one time, at band camp, I rode on the bit next to the motorway. No - not the shoulder - the bit next to that, where you run out of asphalt. And these two times (when not at band camp) I rode on the footpath, which is not the same as when I rode up onto the footpath to parkit. (I've done that numerous times.)

    But twice I rode on the track, and many many years ago, when I was a youf, I used to ride on the dirt, the road, the grass, whatever.

    And I've ridden on snow twice, which wasn't the time this year when I rode a snowmobile on the snow. That was the bestest.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Went out to Piha on the weekend which had some good windys, although road is very narrow in the begginning with lots of blind corners (trees and banks on the inside of almost every corner).

    Best of all you can go for a swim, work on the tan, and generally just perv at the chicks that were swimming in thin white t-shirts!! :love2:

    I think he meant the wet T-shirt babes.

    Nice pic nonetheless.

    but all these roads have bends.
    cant do those corner things.

    i like queen st... traffic light to traffic light, i can even almost beat some of those rice racers in done up early 80's starlets - only if they are automatic of course.

    My brother lives on Scenic Drive. His driveway entrance is on the inside of a blind corner. He's not the the only one either.

    Take care along there
