Easter Sunday ride

**SuperSonic** · 21st March 2008, 13:38

Hi all, trust ya easter is rocking along nicely. Well its about time for a nice long day trip

. The last one I was on was to Jacksons cafe and loved it so much I think its worthy of a re-run.

So the plan is to meet at Yaldhurst Pub car park at 9.30am with a leave time of 10.00am. First stop will be the last petrol station for some time springfield for any of the smaller size tankers in the group. Then a regroup at Arthurs, then on to Jacksons for lunch. Ditto for the way home. So whos in for some of the best roads NZ has to offer

.

Hey there Supersonic, I'd be keen for some of that action, I was on that same run to Jackson's, I agree, was a fantastic ride even with the strong winds.

With any luck the front due through tomorrow would have moved on for a nice ride over Sunday.

Looking forward to it.

I'll definitely be along.

I'm sure if my wee bike has made it to Jacksons before with Helen riding so it shouldnt be any problem with it's rightful rider.

Would love to come on this one, but remembered I agreed to work. hopefully only the morning so might head out somewhere in the arvo. Have a good one, hope the weather holds out for ya!

I'd quite like to join in too, but unfortunately I've got to run an archery practice in the afternoon as there's noone else to run it! That and it wouldn't be any fun on the NZ... the new bike doesn't arrive until Monday night!!

**SuperSonic** · 22nd March 2008, 16:00

Nice, will keep an eye on the weather, but can not see it coming to much. Ph Jacksons and they will be open.

It would do it fine as long as I didn't mind having a really sore arse on arriving, and getting there long after everyone else as top speed isn't really the NZ's forte! On top of that I find that road trips like this, people tend to cruise at 120 and have short squirts of up to 160 ish... the NZ doesn't like cruising much over 120 and neither do I - too against being pinged for speeding, such a needless waste of money.

I hear that they make a great bacon and egg pie at Jackson's.

I was going to do a RAT ride tomorrow, will have to see which way the weather looks better I guess.

Have a good ride and pie.

**Mr Triple** · 22nd March 2008, 18:08

I'll be along tomorrow as long as it's not pissing down. I don't think it's meant to.

Almost forgotten about the B&E pie thing, trust you Lemans

I might even have a B&E pie, you just never know.

So see you all at the pub "Bike" park tomorrow

**SuperSonic** · 22nd March 2008, 18:37

Watched the weather and looks great so get ya bikes ready boys and girls its going to be a riper.

**Deviant Esq** · 22nd March 2008, 19:31

Ripper even?

Wish I could come, I do enjoy a good B&E pie. Ah well, next time. At least I'll have a bigger bike by then and won't be able to whinge any more!
