    North Auckland gravel bash.

    Latte Riders and Fat Pig racing wish to announce the next carefully organised and professhinally run event on the gravel roads between Auckland and Wellsford.

    Date: Sunday 28th june, thats 2 weeks away girls....

    Meeting point: The McDonalds carpark at Shell Westgate, top of the North western motorway at 0900 or 9am if you have a 12 hour clock.

    Ride: North of there, Riverhead, Waitoki, South Kaipara, Wellsford, Mangawhai heads, Leigh, Puhoi (did anyone mention beer?) Riverhead then home.
    About 400kms, so a good days riding at a reasonable pace, it's all on gravel and seal, at a wild guess about 70% gravel, but don't hold me to it.... and suitable for anyone willing to make an arse of themselves in public.

    Plenty of options for doing bits of the ride if you haven't got all day but don't overcomplicate my life or I'll ignore you, ok?

    The coffees good, the gravel varied and interesting but you have to bring your own entertainment.

    Due to techological incompetence I don't do calendar thingies so post stuff on here.

    In answer to any of your questions, choose from the following;

    Yes.
    No.
    Quite possibly.
    Do I look like your mother?

    OK, See you if 2 weeks then.

    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    Have fun, folks. I'll be heading up to Russell on the Friday afternoon - by some of the same roads, if I have any say in the matter - and by the time you're getting all muddy, I should be throwing softbaits at snapper.

    Cheers

    Probably more 9.30 ish if we get away at 9.00, be good to catch up with you..... and it's only down the road from your place, I'll give you a note if that helps.....

    While we are at it, I'm not drinking that MacDonalds coffee so the first stop is just out of Puhoi at the Art of Cheese cafe about 10.30ish. I just need to find a decent coffee stop in Wellsford now, any suggestions?

    Ok - that's cool. I will make sure that I'm @ Waitoki G.A.S. before 9:30 then. What's the plan - Wainui, Weranui Rd etc to Puhoi? Also good with Art of Cheese for coffee - I don't partake of the Ronald Macdonald sludge either ...

    Coffee in Wellsford - just past the Caltex (& Macdonalds, as luck would have it ...) on the l/hand side of the road is a nice breakfast place. Forget for the moment what it's called. I will check tomorrow afternoon on the way back from my weekly Whangarei trip.

    Later
