    East Coast Wairarapa ride (Sun 18 Jan)

    Hi all
    I have been sorting out a ride through public and private farm roads.
    ride will be 60% to 70% gravel. 10%grass 30% seal
    will start my house, in masterton. aprox 9:30am
    travel to Tinui valley, up in to heads of Te mai road, turn on to private road ( pack sper road ) down to mataikona coast road, i have arranged access across farm land off Te mai road.
    from mataikona coast road over to castlepoint station.
    yet to be given access across private road, to otahome road. possably over to riversdale and through homewood road, on to foresty roads to Te wharau, and home.
    will have great sea and cost views, very neat roads,
    just looking if any body interested, as will need numbers.
    feel free to look up or google earth these places.
    will keep posted on last station access,if no go there, it will still be a great ride.
    ride will take place on sunday 18th jan.
    it will be possable to take this ride again at a latter date.

    thanks.

    DUDE , not enough notice 5 days out.

    Would have loved to join in the party but booked for the next few weeks.
    If the route turns out to be a good un ( sure sounds like it should ) a re run later on would get me there for sure
    Here for a good time, not necessarily a long time

    Same deal here, sounds good but need more lead time to secure dates.

    Good news.
    castlepoint station access has been given.
    this ride has just been doubled in length. aprox 260kms
    all they ask is to respect the land and shut the gates.
    cant ask for more than that.
    there is fuel avalible at castlepoint store.
    thats about half way in to trip.
    hope some of you guys and gals can tag along.

    COME ON GUYS, there must be a few others interested. This is a piece of countryside most people never get to see.

    I can't make it either, I've got a couple of broken spokes on the rear wheel.
    Otherwise I'd have been a starter

    Have a great ride, lots of pics please

    for any riders who would like to take this ride in near future.

    rattle of a few dates for whos avalable and whos keen for a good day out.
    day can finish off with a barby and few beers, at my place,
    ( my shout )
    if any ones keen, we can work around other rides, shoot away.

    thanks for your time.

    Is this doable on road biased tyres (E-08s - like Tourances)?

    hi there is one hill section, possably lose dirt, gravel and grass.
    its only a short road, but im not sure how step it is.
    pack spur road. do a google earth on it if you like, ground conditions around at the moment are dry, as long as your tires have some sort of nobbys on them for grip.
    all other roads, gravel and seal, and will be easy going.
    cheers for interest.
