Laxed out rides

[Murray]

Any cruisers out on that ride, or just sports/standard bikes?

Let me think who rides cruisers in our group - Glenn does and comes on occasional rides, Don does and comes on occasional rides, Wharekura Dave does and comes on occasional rides - Im always a cruiser but thats me and not my bike, Trina's generally a cruiser as well - Its about the ride for us.

new page - so repeat - looking at heading to dragstrip as shown on previous pages leaving 10.30 sunday from Kingsgate Hotel carpark. (bike dependant) weather looks mint

Sunday 4
Fine with southwesterlies

Looks like a good day to pop up and watch some of the fun at the drags. me and Trina leaving from the Kingsgate by bike (as long as my fork seals not pissing itself - will check out tomorrow) at 10.30ish if anyone else interested in popping up for a look

We should be 3 or 4 bikes from Auckland who ride together. One or two of us may even do a run down the strip.

Except when they fuck off and leave you in the dust

Nigel doesnt do that.

Its about the ride for me too and like to go slow as 1. bike is slow, 2. i am slow, 3. only been riding a year, 4. dont want to get lost so stay close to murray. The best scenic ride for me was to kaiaua - referred to as "bonding with mark time".

For those that don't remember or didn't hear, that's when Murray and Glenn went above and beyond in getting me home, after which Tony and Dave did the same with my old bike after it suddenly decided to convert itself into a cruiser. LOR at it's finest, gentlemen.

Sunday 27th - Waihau Bay Lodge

Cabins only - 4 booked that have a double & 2 singles each = 16 beds. 1 more cabin can be booked if required, but we'll need to be quick. Again, configuration details can be finalised when numbers & riders known ( Its only 1 night folks )

$30 per cabin - bedding & towels provided.

Very nice pub only a step or two away , Fish n chips if you want, and more importantly - GAS !! - which we will all need.

No website, but if you google map - Waihau Bay lodge, & street view it, you will get the idea.

This will be a ride your own ride with maps supplied & a main re-group at lunchtime OR venue/location, to be advised. There will not be a TEC nor a rider waiting at intersections, Day 1 & Day 2 will both be a full days ride, but very do-able for all that have ridden with us.

Ride will be posted in the Calender shortly - Please Register ASAP & don't forget to book in at the Masonic.

Ride is filling up nicely - so far 12 bikes confirmed. There is still a few places left @ Waihou Bay, so if you are thinking of coming along, you'd better get in sooner rather than later. Looking like an epic trip is on the cards
