Aucklanders ride out this weekend? 18/19

**swanman** · 16th December 2004, 20:52

Right who is up for it? Forecast isn't great (again) but hell we should be used to it by now. Anyone up for a ride, preferably Sat (Sunday if required)? Late start prefered approx 10 am or later to recover from the night before. North, South whatever. All speeds, just a bike and good company required.

Have now decided the meeting place and time see later posts.

Must be a crash helmet, judging from the little head-banging smiley.

Good on you. We'll see how it develops this evening before we make any decisions.

Maybe be keen sunday if the weather is ok,but it's not looking good.....

**Two Smoker** · 17th December 2004, 18:32

OK change that, im keen for a ride, and might be along on something different....

**swanman** · 17th December 2004, 19:23

I'm feeling Sunday.

**RiderInBlack** · 17th December 2004, 19:26

I will wake up tomorrow see see what the mood the weather is in. Feel like a ride if the weather is good. Feel like heading to Kaiiwi Lake to hassle Jrandom and then doing Waipoua Kauri Forest, but could end up South and join you AK dudes. "Roxanne" is keen to try hunting for TS again (she'd have better luck if her rider was more up to it but

).

I could be convinced for a sunday ride, have the dreaded family christmas lunch saturday and just riding the bike has put me in most of the bad books, missing the christmas gathering to ride would really finish it off.

Any idea of where to ride?

Up this morning and the weather looks a bit ropey where I am (Henderson). Also I get the feeling that Sunday is the preferred day. So what we need, assuming it is not just hosing it down tomorrow, is a plan. So a route, a time, and a meeting spot. I am not the most knowledgeable of the roads round here so maybe someone can come up with a good suggestion, then we can decide the meeting place and time.

I had problems connecting to the KB server last night, was it just me?
