    A decent Wellington ride?

    Hubby and I are now back up on 2 (or 1) wheels again - YAY
    Now obviously we want to put on a few kays on the weekend.
    Anyone know where we can do a decent breakfast ride (in/around/outside wellington)? something to stretch the legs a bit, get the eyes back in etc. And of course with a mandatory good brekkie along the way.

    Over the Hill to the Fush (now known as Toppy's) in Martinborough.

    Or, if you're less adventurous, around the south coast, with a feed at The Bach at Owhiro Bay (the Chocolate Fush is so LOTR).

    Lake Ferry, Gladstone and Wild Oats in Carterton would all be considered 'Biker Friendly' stops within short range as well.

    How long a ride are you looking at? As Mr Hitcher has already suggested the foray over the Rimutakas is a firm favourite for Wheelington riders, but take care if you haven't been that way yet. Can be a bit blustery, and the traffic can be interesting.

    The most oarsomest bacon and eggs and stuff can be found in Dannevirke via Rimutaka's, Route 52...

    Now if you're serious about going for a ride from Wellington, then the best breakfast within range is at the Herb Farm at Ashhurst. Without question or doubt. The judge's decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.

    A cruise over Haywards or around the Pauatahanui inlet, Piekakariki Hill and up to Kapiti where there are several cafes along the waterfront. Depends on how long you want to ride before you eat. All the other suggestions are good too.

    Yep but also by reading the entirety of his post you'd be aware that the recommendation comes from personal experience, gained at great expense and gastronomical titllation.
