Regular weekend rides

**Auckland** · 30th March 2014, 22:00

Hi all thanks for letting us tag along for the ride today! It was good fun. What a day for it too.

As I mentioned, we're also organising rides via meetup - http://www.meetup.com/Auckland-Motorcycles/ which has a few tools that are handy for organising events and rides. Feel free to join, we're more than happy to have organisers of the ride today use the site to organise regular rides as well.

im so down what time we meeting and wear?

I guess leaving from Caltex in Dairy Flat. Take 16 then Woodcocks, then 1 to Whakapara. Old Russell Road to Russell for lunch. Any other thoughts?
It's quite a big day, so perhaps leave Dairy Flat at 8:30am? Really open to ideas here.

Another good ride (all day) is to Opononi.
Multiple options for there and back. just a bit boring through Dargaville.

I have learnt my lesson about posting travel information on this site.

I love going to Opononi. Waipoua Forest is up there in my top rides discovered to date (that's where my avatar is from). Last we checked there were several unmarked un-swept new-seal sections.
Avoiding the Dargaville straights is yet to be properly investigated.

+1 , I know it's sacrilege, but I preferred it to the Mangamuka's

Although I've only done both 2 up so far.
