    I am on a zx6rr but i am looking to enjoy a relaxed ride rather than race anything.

    Was thinking of getting a group started for a ride or 2 a week when people are keen.

    Weather pending (http://metvuw.com/forecast/forecast....i&noofdays=all) i would like to organise a ride for a couple of hours on sunday.

    I am thinking somewhere in the middle of 11am to 3pm starting at the garden centre in kahikatea drive with a coffee, will be on everyone to decide where to go but i was thinking raynes road - mystery creek - cambridge - morrinsville and hadn't thought any further

    Anyways, drop a message in here if you are interested.
    Just because the others may wish to ride fast - does not mean that you have to keep up with them or cannot ride with them. If you all agree to end at a certain place, then perhaps they could have two routes planned, one for the bigger and faster bikes and they take a longer route, and one for the riders who are either learning or wish to cruise to the destination - often a shorter route. We have done this and all met up at the planned stop. Means there is no pressure on either group and everyone gets to enjoy the ride.

    You are so unlearned http://www.brokenriver.co.nz/. Apparently one of the best for powder. I reckon there's more than 30 fields if you include the clubbies. There's a crap load!

    MMm ride on Sunday? Might be a go depending on head status.

    Thats a bit random? dredging up a post from way back then - and then proceeding to instruct us in the obvious?
    Lifes Just one big ride - buckle up or hang on

    I am currently juggling two kids parties, one adult party to see if I can make a window for Sunday. Looking promising at this stage.

    You're just a couple of millennia out of date here crazyhorse...and maybe preaching to the converted as well....besides, I love busting my arse trying to keep up with the loonies...

    In fact the LOR group works very well indeed - come join us one day!

    I'll see what I can do as well. I have to be back in the Tron about 1.00pm but I can surely start the run and just peel off when I have to...

    Idea for sunday:

    Quickish route for those who can't be out all day.
    * start 8:30 at rocket ham east leaving 9am
    * Mclaren falls
    * Greerton (coffee)
    * vegas (gas/food)
    * pirongia (coffee)
    * the rapa (coffee)





    I am still not sure if i can attend but its an idea.

    Definately preaching to the converted there, we've been doing the "ride at your own" the whole time (since october) i would like to see dual rides as well so the quicker riders don't have to stop for so long and the other riders don't try and keep up.

    See how it pans out.
