Wellington women's group rides

**Ratti** · 25th February 2010, 21:21

Was mentioned by a noob and a few notnoobs that there is a dearth of women only rides. here is the thread to have a discussion on that topic. It may or may not be a go. Is up to us. Register your interest and lets see how it goes.

blokes, quit whining and stay home to look after the sprogs.

Ooooo - I'd be into this! Sounds fun!

**Trudes** · 26th February 2010, 05:48

I'll be in as long as the date suits.
Pick a date and venue to ride to (suggestion, in the past we picked close by cafe, like The Wild Oats or Toppys over the hill so that L platers didn't feel intimidated at have to ride 300kms for a chat and coffee) post it up and start a calendar event for folks to enter their interest. Oh and you'll get guys wanting to come with the excuse of "my wife rides pillion and she wants to come" so you may need to decide where you stand on things like that

Men I tells ya, they can't survive a couple of hours without knowing what we're up to

Nice bikes ladies!!!

Hey Gals hope you can work something out! Us Christchurch chicks have been doing girl only rides for the last year or so and its been lots of fun! About to go on one very soon. Hoping to pick it up this year with a few weekend trips to Hamner, Franz Josef or Kaikoura.

U could look at doing a trip to Waiarapa to look at Art or just hang in the usual cafe or something. Anyways good luck!!

I'm fairly new to Welly area. am open to ideas about where to go. I know The Brown Sugar Cafe on the way north up the coast is owned by biker friendly folk, and the wife rides her own bike ( HD I think?) Its not too far away for the smaller bikes and its an easy ride for the noobs. Maybe look at coming back over the Paekak hill rd if anyone is interested. I don't know her perosnally but know someone who does. COuld arrange it with them to expect a group of women on XXX day. We also need to choose a day of the week. Personally I find weekends close to impossible, maybe a Friday evening.

Keep it coming ladies.

Do it. The girls up this way regularly get away for a weekend, and they always have an epic time.

Occasionally, hubbys who behave will get invited to ride on the last leg of the trip.

Keen keen keen as I mentioned on another thread Ratti. I will put my thinking cap on for a location suggestion. I keep seeing the Christchurch thread and how much fun they are all having and reckon it will be great, along with the rides many us already attend (mixed).

Martinborough might be a good place to head (agreed, learner riders might not be so threatened by that distance), and it would be great to get a mix of all levels. Good ride, lunch, good company. What more could you want? Oh yeah, nice weather!
