I'd be riding around it as well, but i would also have to bring one of my cars, see how it handles the track.

Here's the track...

Can we use it in weekends???

[Disco Dan]

Think gates get locked at night, not sure about weekends.

As long as gates open you can get to the track. you may be able to get a bike through somewhere but whole place under camera surveillance and security guards patrol. Doubt they would mind, prob give the guys watching the monitors a giggle watching bikes go around it... assuming you behave yourselves I doubt they would kick up a fuss.

If you count riding round te atatu and henderson trying to find an empty concreted area as a ride, then yeah, i went for a ride.

If the weather's good, i'm keen.
Should really go to my class at 11, but the lecturer aint that good, and i can just read his notes instead.

Hey dude, awesome to see you keen to get riding as much and as often as possible, that's what it's all about! Have you hit the open road or motorway at all yet? Me and Shaun kinda wanna go for a blast on Friday as opposed to a slower paced ride (not that I'd say I go too fast anyway haha).

Um a thought though is if anyone else is keen to come and are learners or keen for learner pace, then we would be keen to have everyone along with maybe a slower group and a faster group but still stick together overall, usually works out that way anyway!

Pretty much we'd hate to leave you behind. So it'd be cool as if ya know anyone who'd be keen to do their first open road with ya too? I don't mind leading at a slower pace at all, but as long as it's fine to head off in front maybe too for a bit. Lol now I feel like a dick hijacking your thread haha!

So :

This Friday 23rd May, time will be weather dependant but prob aim about 10am-11am, head out west to do SH16 maybe Woodcocks rd too. Back in time for the chiller at Strata. Calling ALL people who just wanna get some open riding done. Not a "Learner friendly ride" specifically, but various levels are all welcome in terms of splitting the group up maybe. Sound like fun to anyone?

Sounds ok Banzai?


EDIT : Check out the thread in the smc forum re the ride.

the testing station near the old council building is nice and large and empty most afternoons (drug dealers/stoners generally clear out when you turn up with more than one car, and security would prefer a pocket rocket to a drug dealer. seriously speaking from experience here)
