**Zapf** · 8th January 2005, 15:50

Update: BP Autobann 10:30am - route Mainly down SH22, won't be fast just a nice tour so all speeds welcome

Ok for all of us soff asses that couldn't get up and be at AB by 9am for a ride today.

I propose to make up for the ride tomorrow and get some of that sun while its out.

Plan is say meet at Westgate 10am and then go up SH16 then perhaps off to mangawai heads. suggestions welcome....

oh and fast and slow ppl all welcome too, as u all know I am a bit in between

I am in.

Just fitted a new rear and plenty of tread to go.

This is also the last day of my break, so might as well make the most of it.

10am Eh
:expresses interest:

Ok as I live south, which is Highway 16?

Yamahamaman · 8th January 2005, 17:31

It comes after 15 and before 17...
Nah, SH 16 starts at the North Western Motorway and proceeds north through to Wellsford.

Yamahamaman · 8th January 2005, 17:35

Forgot to mention the great parts between the end of the northwestern and Wellsford. Especially the Old North Road leg.

Hope you guys have a good ride, I think it may get pretty busy on 16 Sunday(all that hoilday traffic) afternoon.

F/F

Good thinking Dave.

All of a sudden :interest lost:

**Zapf** · 8th January 2005, 18:17

Riding to Coro won't be much better than SH16, all the traffic coming back from Coro and East coast as well.

any takers?

Your best bet is to go 22 and get amongst some Waikato back roads

There are ways and means around the SH1, just have to do a little exploring.

I'm keen to ride down that way again, have to make the most of these dry roads when we get em.
