We are travelling down on Friday, swapped my day off so we could. Mark has family in Palmerston North he has not seen in many years, so the plan is to make our way down during Friday, spend Saturday doing a bit of a Maha nostalgia trip in the place of his birth, then head up to the BBQ

Mom are you n maha coming down on the bike ????

ok meeting at my place and leaving 10am sharp

where do I live you ask .. well coming down from shannon you will come down a hill with passing lane going up the other side and at the bottom is the museum and cafe (Clydesdale cafe) you then head down a relatively long straight with a slight rise over a bridge (you better be braking at this point) as my cottage is just on your left. so thats State Highway 57 or as we know it Arapaepae Rd and my place is 50 mtrs south of Heatherlea East Rd.

there is enough room to park the bikes out on the road (some ppl do not like my ski ramp of a driveway for some reason)

I will have my black bandit parked outside from about 9am and may be one or two other bikes already parked there .. can not miss it .. if you want to google the address to get your bearings pm me

so after leaving 10am sharp we will head down towards welly ..

road legal speeds & trying to keep the group fairly well together doing rolling pickups just sth of otaki, waikanae and pram Mobil .. once past pram (on the passing lanes) I will fall back to TEC status & we will head over piecock hill can regather at the lookout (not a major stop) only caution here is to watch the "tar snakes" they can be rather slipperly if wet. do another regather at pahatanui and head over haywards turning left at the bottom, at the lights keep going left and follow the road til you get to the Caltex garage arriving by 11.30am

we will do a refuel for those who need it, and 30 min break welly riders will join in at this point .. then head over Rimutaka hill, I understand this is now all double yellow lines (from other thread) so could be a slower trip,

regather at the summit and down the other side at featherston.

we are then heading to Caterton and "Wild oats Cafe for lunch & meeting Masterton riders here approx 12.30-1pm .. will do a bit of debrief and see what the conscenus is on doing the back roads via alfredton or if slower riders want to spilt & do the deviation outside of masterton & wait for the others in Pahiatua

just to be aware if you have a smaller fuel tanks you may need to refuel at Caterton before we leave.

alfredton will be a 20 min break at the school to regather & get everyone on the right course to head to pahiatua

pahiatua meeting/refuelling at BP across from where you will exit alfredton way.

heading to pahiatua new world for supplies before tackling the track & Mo's place .. as you come off Pahiatua track you will turn right and 50 mtrs or so down the road is a safe place to regather.

All I ask is that ppl ride their own ride, and leave your ego's at home. This is a cruisy type ride but feel free to ride off & have your fun .. just do not be tempted to twist the wrist to keep up with someone else who is blatting off if you can not ride to their ability ..

We will have some newbie and 250 riders with us

any questions plz ask

No, we are driving down. We rode down last time and I ended up appearing at my first meet of the Mahawatu crowd in my bike pants and of all things, my slippers

**sparkles** · 30th September 2009, 15:55

so are any palmy rider going to be grouping together or are we just going to meet at Levin ?

**ajturbo** · 30th September 2009, 16:27

sounds great Sandra...

you will be picking up Quasi and me at the gas station....err what sort of time will you be there???

**oscarnz** · 30th September 2009, 17:06

As I cant afford (time wise due to study) to be away all day, I am going to ride down and meet the group in Carterton for lunch.

Any Palmy people wanting to join me are more than welcome. I will be leaving BP Fitz at 11am. Just a cruisy ride over track, Mangimaire, and then main road down to back road around Masterton, then down to Carterton.

Count me out for this one. Got some stuff to get done in the morning (my 4 legged friends want to see me). Will head out for my own "little" ride in the afternoon, weather permitting.
