Top-o-da-south lady riders

**Higgledy** · 16th February 2009, 13:41

Hi
Am going to get my full mid 09 and hopefully my dream bike later this year. Rather than joining Ulysses I was wondering if there were any other lady bikers in the Nelson region who like taking weekend rides or anyone who knows of a women's group in the area?
Cheers
Ali

Hi Ali, yes there are a few of us girlies and I'm forever trying to get us all together to ride out without much success.. so get in touch and I'll txt you/call you when we're next planning something. Maybe this w/end coming? I live over in Riwaka, another 2 gals I know this side and then 3 over Nelson way. My cell is 021 120 4722 or email vwgrrl@clear.net.nz. Look forward to hearing from ya!

Cool, also had contact from another lady who uses this site who lives in Nelson so we'll soon be having our own rallies eh!!! Short notice but if you're free this Fri, 27th a few of us are going to Picton and back round via Blenheim and the lakes. Meeting up with 3 riders in Havelock - be 5 of us maybe to Picton, then 2 or 3 back home. The other 2 are heading over to Wlg.

I also sent you an email so hope I'm not confusing you!
27th is my birthday so can't got this Friday

I included my mobile number in the email so will be keen for the next ride.

We're planning a small ride starting both in Mot & Nelson, will meet halfway somewhere at 10ish and do something like the Dovedale/Orinoco loop etc.. if you're interested get in touch before Sun!

Hey where in Riwaka are you I'm just over the road in Brooklyn.

May be keen for a ride on Sunday but I don't do rain anymore.

**Burtha** · 6th March 2009, 09:17

This should be good Jane - lets just hope the weather is nice for us!

**vwgrrl** · 6th March 2009, 09:29

OK I've tried to firm this up now! Weather permitting - I'm not a rain fan either..

Mot riders meet at Hot Mamas 10am on Sun, Nelson riders meet Three Brothers corner 10am.

All meet at the Naked Bun, Mapua 10.30am. From there we'll go inland to Dovedale etc.. and stop for coffee at the Monterey Cafe, Orinoco Valley Rd. Ride to the end of the West Bank Rd and come back up it to get to Mot. For more details txt 021 120 4722 or just join us at those meeting points.

Hope to make this a regular event - monthly? This first group ride will be a start to see what others want out of a ride. Reckon we should set it for a certain Sun each month (1st, 3rd etc) and take it in turns to plan out a route. Be good to discuss. See you Sunday!

Just to clarify - 3 Brothers Corner, that would be at the dairy by the main round-about where to you turn right to head towards Mot when riding out of Richmond?
If there is anyone coming from Nelson central or thereabout and want to redevous before heading to richmond just message me.

**vwgrrl** · 6th March 2009, 10:32

Yup that's right and there'll be 2 others meeting you there, that I know of. Mary & Clancy. I've sent them an email. There's one other woman I've sent the notice to but she works long hours and I'm not sure if she's free. I'd say that if there aren't more than 3 of you by 10.05 then get going!
