Toy Run On Sunday 13th March

**outlawtorn** · 7th March 2005, 10:33

For the slow reading and hard of scrolling here are the meeting details:

Sunday Morning, 13th March
Holeshot Suzuki on Barrys Point Road,
8:15 AM

OK Kiwi Bikers, I'm up in the North Shore and am as keen as to go down to Cambridge for the run, but I don't want to do it on my own.

I reckon MadGuitarist will join me but is there anyone else who would be keen to get together and ride to Cambridge?

Madguitarist and I are both on the top of the North Shore so we can meet people at various places on the way out of Auckland.

And if the run starts at 9AM what time should we leave Auckland?

Ideas? Comments? Suggestions? Hate Mail?

You are looking at around 160km from Takapuna to Cambridge. A couple of hours should do depending on the roads one takes. The rally departs at 11.00am some of the guys are meeting at the BP in Cambridge around 10am heading off to the start at 10.30am.
Best route is
Turn left at Taupiri to Gordonton
On the otherside of Gordonton follow the signs to Cambridge its a bit of a zig zag trip but not much traffic that way.
As you come into Cambridge you will meet up with SHW1 and the BP is around 100 meters on the left. Or you can go directly to the start - straight through to the roundabout and follow the marshals directions.

Mad Duck, on an earlier Toy Run thread, suggested meeting up at holeshot on Barrys Pt Rd and heading south from there tog. Tat sounds like an idea so.....

Shall we meet at say, 8.15am and then cruize down to Cambridge? Would give us time to take a nice 'legal' speed ride and also meet up with Holy Roller and gang & leave some time to check out the other bikes??

Would it be possible to do the run and get back into Auckland by 3:30 pm?????

It took less than an hour last year, most of the time is taken up hanging around waiting prize draw etc. You should be OK.

Sorry we wont be there this year, will be at Hokitka wild food fest

Yeah Im in and the more I thought about MikLs suggestion to go 22 on the way down I might prefer to swing along there on the way home. No pressure of having to speed like nuts (not that I ever do) to make the meeting time.

PS...JustSomeGuy fuel in the bike is optional

OK so can we def say that we are meeting outside Holeshot Suzuki on Barrys Point Road, this is open to all so even if we have some newbies who are little dubious or nervous, don't worry, come along, it'll be fine, this will be my first ever "ride" to a run.

We'll see you all there on Sunday at 8:15. Cheers
