Wellington Rideouts - Where next?

**junkmanjoe** · 22nd March 2010, 19:01

you could add from matakoina to pac spur out te mai rd to tinui valley then out castle hill out to old hiway 52 .
or from riversdale turn off at the langdale church go to tinui then out castle hill...
or could take in northcroft rd, dorsets rd, and still be heading north.
couple options..

as you were - I'm still planning on riding somewhere this afternoon or tomorrow - JMJ has his wife's Birthday to attend to today! -

Anyone interested in a cruisy ride Sunday?

IgorMortis has a new to him shiney flash airhead supertanker and both he and it need christening for ADV riding.

As IM may or may not have decent tyres fitted the final route is to be decided including the level of difficulty, however either way it's likely to be a very mild ride. It may be that the worst terrain we see is a few hundred metres of well formed gravel.

If JMJ is keen and IM is up to going as far as Marsterton my suggestion would be a re-run of the fantastic paper roads Joe took my down on my birthday. If that works out they are big bike, beginner and pillion friendly and you will want to bring your camera.
If not we might just make something up on the day.

I have a couple of short ones you can borrow.

**igormortis** · 7th May 2010, 15:21

I've got a chunky new E09 on the doorstep - but no sign of the T63 yet...

Wondering if I should just leave the Trailwings on for the weekend till I can get them both changed. Unless someone's super keen to help a noob change his own tyres - I do intend to learn someday!

**Eddieb** · 7th May 2010, 15:39

I'm not planning on going anywhere that will require anything more than trailwings on Sunday, and anyway as long as it's dry you'd be surprised where you can go on a pretty much road tyre.
