for the uninitiated... ..it's a bit.ly address - one of many URL shortening services (made more popular with the rise of twitter and the like) - but also convenient for posting a complicated URL to a thread in a forum without having to type in a million character...

Sure http://bit.ly/fg05R is a little cryptic - but so is "http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=111425&page=12" - and I know which one I'd rather type ...

Seriously though, has anyone let someone with a coffee cart know where the finish line is? I bet they will sell heaps of coffee to thirsty riders at about mid-day.

I can give one a call today if you like?

• Heading North from the Autobahn to the Silverdale off ramp/then heading back into Auckland City.

• Harbour Bridge, we will be using Lane 4 only. That will take us onto the North Western Motorway without lane changes.

• We will use the two outside lanes of the North Western.

• At the end of the North Western, we will use the light controlled round-a-bout and head back towards the city using the Lane Marked Hamilton/South (Southern Motorway)

• Once on the Southern Motorway we will stay in Lane 1 heading for Papakura.

• Taking the Papakura off-ramp crossing the Motorway and make our way back into the City

• Exit the Motorway at the Wellesley Street off ramp and head for the Auckland domain.

• Lower Domain Rd is off Stanley Street.

• There will someone on point at the entrance to the Domain.

• Finishing up at the Auckland Museum.

There may well be a few people that want to talk when we get there.

Did this map on Google of the route. Quite an epic ride. I'm sure it will have the desired look.

That does not show anything to me, I am probably doing something wrong though.

The forecast should only be more precise as time nears by....

A mate of mine - also a biker - did the coffee @ the manakau Ulysees gig - He's based out of New Lynn-ish but sure he'd be happy to help if you're stuck.
