Where abouts does this motley lot meet these days. My wife has a meeting in Hamilton from 6.30, so I thought I might drop her off, come down and start a fight with the locals. I know its in Te Rapa but not sure which pub.

Good turn out last night and good to see a few old faces (well ones we have not seen for a while)

Arthur is planning a ride Sunday 29th March meeting up Kingsgate then Te Awamutu about 10ish and back 2-230ish.

If you have seen Arthurs posts it will be very scenic with picture stops and very cruisey - great way to spend a Sunday arvo with the the last of the best weather.

pencil it in and we await further info from awa355

The 29th is my next weekend off. I want to ride some of the roads in the Waiteti Valley area, between the Waikato river, SH30 (upper Atiamuri rd) and SH5. I intend to make my way over the Ohakuri dam via Whakamaru and meander my way up to Rotorua for some lunch and refuelling. Approx 158k from Te A. If anyone does want to come, they can choose to head back via the Mamaku's, or the Atiamuri road, or do what I hope to do, take in the Waiketi Valley road out to SH5 then on to Tutukau road. From there most likely, up SH1 to Tokoroa and the Old Taupo road. I have a couple of routes planned, one has some gravel roads, the other is all sealed.

I ride a 250 cruiser, so sit around the 90-100k mark.

Not to much gravel please I might be 2 up and not so much fun like that.

[awa355]

No gravel I promise.

Sounds like a nice ride... Bit too slow for my bike though.
