South Auckland gravel bash..take 2?
Finally, a decision!!!
Latte Riders and Fat Pig racing wish to announce the next carefully organised and professhinally run event on the gravel roads between Auckland and whatever's south west of here....Masport-boy, you listening???
Date: Sunday 30th August, thats in two and a bit weeks....
Meeting point: The Autobahn cafe on the southern motorway just south of Papakura (and chez Bass) ready to go at 0900 or 9am if you have a 12 hour clock. I will be there 15 minutes before but want to be rolling at 9.0
Ride: South of there, towards Port Waikato avoiding grumpy farmers and towards Raglan stopping at the Nikau caves cafe for a coffee then maybe down to Kawhia and back in a sort of loopish direction. About 350kms, 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? Hamiltonians, Nikau caves cafe looks good....
The coffees good, the gravel varied and interesting but you have to bring your own entertainment (and visas to visit the rest of Nu Zild if you're a Jaffa).
I'm planning on this being reasonably new rider friendly with more of a focus on stopping and talking / coffee / telling lies etc...or at least the option for that, who knows, we will see how the day pans out.
Due to techological incompetence I don't do calendar thingies so post stuff on here.
Tri-boy there is no excuse acceptable this time, stop hiding.
