Surely we're going on a nice long ride ?, on such a nice night ?

Clearly ending up at a pub ?

What's everyone else's thoughts ?

Do you reckon we can make it up to Wellsford and back again?

Or how about up 16 etc through to woodcocks road and back down SH1 to Albany (or stop at Puhoi??)

A lot of 16 has road works... pretty fun if you like going sidewards

Woodcocks is in a not the nicest condition.

repair patches mid corner with no signs or sweeping, so probably not a good idea for a ride like today's.

the view from the lookout on end of sh16 is primo tho

edit: dunno when you did it raj, but we did it sunda night and it was primo (we didnt do supersonic speeds tho)

It's only gravel patches, most of its on straight bits.

I would however advise to be careful on that very steep uphill 35 corner, there was a fair bit of loose gravel there on Sunday.

Maybe we can split up into two groups, those that are newer can take an easier way??

Yeah, good point.... the beginning (is it called West coast road?) does have unmarked corners with gravel.

If you're expecting it, then its ok...but highly likely people coming on this ride won't be reading our posts...

I did it today. Just coming back from riding up to Wellsford and back. Loose gravel on straights as pointed out, enough to spin the rear out if your on the gas. Some loose gravel on corners too, not sure if marked or not, I just always hang off so it's never a problem. Just be aware and everyone including the learners 'should' be fine.

Tonight is NOT my last night, NEXT week, the 16th, is. So I will be at Westgate as per normal. A ride sounds good but Richard and I had talked last week of doing the ride to Wellsford and back for my final night. We could do the first half of the ATNR, hang a left at Waitoki, go to Wainui and then wend our way back to Silverdale tonight? Then on to the car park for some braking practice.
