Mr Motorcycles ride@Wairamarama-Sunday

[Reckless]

Are any KB'ers going. My normal riding mates are doing the rodney club day here: April Club Day - New property! @ 3558 Kaipara Coast Highway (Highway 16). Just before the Hoteo bridge 26 k's north of Kaukapakapa.

If I go south instead of north I'll be on my own and I haven't done this ride yet. Must be Mercer we turn off at I imagine.

Not sure if I am but is there Anyone else going??

turn off at pokeno, and head towards tuakau, do not turn into tuakau but continue on towards the river, you will pick up sings at the tuakau bridge,

track is pretty cool up tier, rolling to steep country, approx 30km open loop

ok so i cocked up and just remembered it was this weekend now got to find somewhere for one of the kids to go play for the day and ill be there

[scott411]

track is 32km long, with a rather large change in track from last year, should be an awesome loop,

see you thier,

arghhh want to go riding but got teams racing at kihikihi sunday, damit.
scott did you manage to get a handle on the new surface at waikaraka last weekend?

[scott411]

yeah i did, was going really well, had 3rd in the last race and would have given me about 5th overall in the Auckland Saloon champs which (would have been awesome for my first time thier), but got turned around, and then someone that got caught up with me went all phsyco and threw his steering wheel at me, i thought i was the inncoent party in it all,
was a bit different to drive thier but i really enjoyed it,

Kihikihi has clashed with trail rides or mx all year, i was hoping to race thier at least once this season but i have not been able to, thier is always next season

[Reckless]

Scott, Thats one thing it would be most helpful to have on your website a few directions to the events. Cheers mate.

Will it get really boggy if its wet. I might go where I can ride with someone if the bike gets stuck in a bog.

So no one confirmed yet. Oh well I might go North. Pissing down here and not a good prediction for tommorrow either.

[scott411]

Reckless, funny you say that, was talking to people about it during the week

i have looked into that after a few comments this year, i have looked at having mini maps on thier but i can not really find any good ones that show the rural areas well, , i will be looking at instructions on how to get to each one there for next year, thanks for advice,

ill do some for this weekend,

From Auckland,

Take the pokeno off ramp,
turn right at round about,
take 2nd road on right, (Whangarata Road)
Follow to the end of the road (approx 5km)
turn right at end of road (SH22)
this will take you to the Tuakau Bridge, signs will start from here,
take 2nd road on right (onewhero bridge road) and keep following signs, will take approx 20minutes from bridge

From SOuth
take mercer motorway off ramp,
turn tight and take bridge across river (sings will start here)
will take approx 25minutes from here,

have a look at www.smaps.co.nz

they hav pretty good maps on there.

[barty5]

anyone want a lift out?

[Reckless]

That's all we need Scott brilliant! Quick copy and paste to note pad, print it and put it in the truck. Perfect!

Just fitting a new exhaust to my ute. Fucking wrong one Aye! Do i put the old one back on or stay home??? Damn it. Might have to go north with my normal crew?

[krad_nz]

I'll be heading down from Auckland for this.

Fingers crossed its not going to be a bog.

Anyone know how this ride will compare to the previous Mr Motorcycles one?

[oldguy]

Will miss this one, little fella racing fells farm,

[A&R]

My mob haven't been riding for about 6 weeks until last week we all went on the Puriri ride near Thames. That was pretty awesome dry/fast but fanatastic views and a few river crossings plus a 2km junior loop which was excellent. Unfortunately Scott looks like we will be giving the Mr motorcycles ride a miss as they all want to go to the Ngtaea ride tomorrow. Catch up with all you KBers sometime soon.

Ps. went to the interschools at ardmore this arvo - pretty good spectacle and free ! kids loved watching- they all want to get back into it now!!!
