RRRR (Round Ruahine Range Ride) #2

[marks]

I enjoyed Barts RRRRR in March so much that I want to do it again.

Intention is to leave Paraparaumu on Sat (27th June) morning at 9.00 sharp from the disused Mobil service station (just before Burger King on main Rd) and head up to Shannon for coffee then head up to Ashhurst to meet with any 'northeners' at 11.00 at the service station. Leaving Ashurst 11.15 sharp(ish)

From there it would be up to Taihape for a late lunch (1-2) via a rats nest of gravel roads via Utuwai/Apiti/Upper Kawhatau etc etc.

From Taihape to Napier via the Gentle Annie to stay at the Westshore Holiday Park same as last time. There is a good feed at the pub across the road etc.

Sunday - basically follow the coast as much as possible (possibly including the beach bit between Aramoana and Blackhead) down towards Pongaroa and then possibly off to Pahiatua for afternoon tea then back home - maybe via North Range Rd and Shannon etc.

All easy stuff. All low key - make it up as we go along. No sign up page - either turn up - or not.

anyone interested?

I was planning on taking the PD away with me but if the G/S is going you can use it. I just need to find time to change the coils over and see if thats the issue.

And this trip has been on the cards for a while. Both parents 60th birthdays.

Hi Mandy.
what time can we pick up steve, for the ride to napier over cool gravel roads, pub meal and laughs over a few beers with the boys.

we will make sure he brings you home some jewels, or dimonds, or a new dress...

we will look after him...

its not good to leave a bike sitting for to long, as in side the engine might go rusty, so its best to take it on a 2 day ride....
