Meet you all at the Tuakau bridge then..
We might peel off in the afternoon and head down to Raglan and then around to Kawhia, home through the back roads that way. If there is anyone wanting to tag along after that heading south then feel free to chat when we get to the Cafe...

Should be good weather judging by the sunset and it is clear as down this way...

Can I please confirm where we are meeting for the start of this ride?

Papakura Autobahn comes up with a few results. Just like to confirm exatly which one we are meeting at.

**Taz** · 23rd May 2009, 18:48

The BP service station beside the motorway south of the papakura interchange - or - The Les Batkin Reserve by the bridge south west of Tuakau.

Yeah I did read the first page, but the Papakura Autobahn is not an exact location you can easily find without local knowledge. A google link to the correct spot would be ideal

Is it as per Anthrax said the "The BP service station beside the motorway south of the papakura interchange" which at a guess is here which is also known as the motodrome service area?

Just trying to avoid getting lost before the ride even starts
