Laxed out rides

[ckai]

Where is every body??? Great day for a ride (175 kms) to Okoroire and back. Waited for you Mr Jamroll but no show?? At least the weather you asked for came through!!! Only 3 of us went, me, trina and another guy keen to join the group when able. (works in Auckland lives in Hamilton and works some weekends)

Brooke, Jamroll and I went for a short blat around the local roads tonight. Short, because by the time Brooke got home from work it was getting on a bit. Wasn't bad getting the wheels turning again though.

Hi Murray,
yeah I am over 40 mins away and the showers were still hanging round. By the time it started to clear I would of missed you guys. Gutted. Glad you had a good ride though and it was dryer over your way.
As Cameron said, I met up with them for a short ride. Found some twisties but the low sun made some sections tricky. It was good to meet some of the group and enjoy the scenery

Looking forward to the 11th.

Cheers.

Hi all, Happy New Year.
Just got back from up north, Since leaving on the night of the 23rd ive covered nearly 1800km on the bike.
Did some of the classic biking roads of the far north.
Had a great time and im thinking of a major ride for later in the year. Got most things sorted but still a few details to sort. Will give more info on the first ride of the year.
Could be keen for a cruise this weekend if anyone is keen.

Sounds good. Cameron and I are away this weekend in Taupo (that's if he get's over his "man flu" I hear it's a bad one this year!) (otherwise it will just be me) as my Dad is racing there (his car not bike). I know that some of the others are coming on Sunday for the day to have a watch so if you're keen I'll PM you my number) Hope you had a good new year

Happy New Year everyone,
I was hoping for some advice and maybe some riding companions to do a loop of Mt Taranaki tomorrow. It looks like great weather and I have been wanting to do this ride for a while. I reckon the ride could be done in 9 hours without breaking the sound barrier.

The route: TA - Otorohanga - New Plymouth - Opunake - Hawera - Stratford - New Plymouth - TA

By my guess-timation it would be about 580km. Is this too ambitious? What do you guys reckon?

Piece of cake - not! It was a big step up for me. Feels a lot better since I took the square continentals off and put some nice michelin 2ct's on.

I almost got a k1. So much bike for so little coin.

Happy New Year Jamroll..

I guess it really depends on how much you've been riding lately as to how comfortable it is for you to do it.. It definitly can be done..
Also i'm not sure of how much traffic you're going to be in on the way back tomorrow..
