Hi Lewis,

Take the bridge off the Hutt motorway that goes to Avalon (Kennedy-Good I think it's called). A short distance over the bridge you'll see the duck pond on the left with a car park.

Karen and I are thinking of driving up (she hasn't got any gear yet), so might see you at Wanganui - we can cheer on Waughey.

When you hit Wanganui (head over the river), ya get to a roundabout, head right, you'll be there, plenty of parking for bikes, and entry to the track.
This corner of the track (Robert Holden Corner) is a good starting place. Bikes coming out of the S's to a right hander. You can circle the track at your lesure, the gates across the track are generally opened between races....
The main straight is also a good spot, back straight too, hell the whole track is awesome......
Having to miss this meeting due to work. Only missed 3 meetings in the last 27 years I've attended this awesome day.....

Good ride up yesterday

funny as went through feilding & about 30+ bikes waiting at corner for road to clear, tagged on the back but did not take long for the fast ones to wend their way through .. a few dodgy overtaking maneuvers

but there would have been half a dozen bikes who were happy to pootle behind.

thought they would turn off at marton & head to wangas but like the pied piper they followed us through Turakina Valley

dunno if that was in their plans or not

anyhow awesome road, awesome company & to top it off fantastic day

cheers Jas, Red, Dude & Rottiguy

have to do that again sometime

Not a road race, but the third round of the tri series is at taupo raceway on 27/28/29
Pack ya Mrs, ya tent and head up ! Camping at the track, facilities like toilets/showers and i'd say there will be truckloads up there staying the two nights !
