Plans in the future will be more and more and further affield also So if you are keen pm me for further info or just come along and meeet some like minded people who enjoy this form of riding 9:30 Starbucks Westage Shopping Centre 22nd May Sunday

What an excellent idea, it will sure help those riders who avoid the gravel roads and hence miss out on seeing some great parts of NZ. Now where can I find someone who can show me how to corner properly on the tar seal!

On a similiar note I've recently created a Facebook page to try and promote Adventure Riding in NZ to a wider audience, there's still more riders in NZ that aren't on KB that there are on it so I thought I'd try and cast the net wider.

Check it out at http://www.facebook.com/AdventureRidingNZ and feel free to contribute.

Same deal, There's even less NZ people on ADVrider than there are on KB.

Good on ya SuzieQ. Maybe I can join you's fullas and fullesses on a ride some time. Not only for those new to Adv riding is it?

**Expert** · 6th June 2011, 09:04

So did anyone go? I've just read this thread so that's my excuse.

**888** · 8th June 2011, 11:19

When is the next meeting? I'm keen to ride on from Otorohanga and join in. The mighty TTR250 is up for it!

Guys, if you look at the original poster you will see she has a total of seven posts on KB, not exactly a regular here, if you are interested in finding out more I suggest you PM her directly.
If you want to go on adventure rides look at what's on in this forum, Expert, if you're free this saturday join us for a ride around the Kaipara area, 888 have a look at the MMMM ride in 3 or 4 weeks time.

And so it should be......

Why, oh why, would( should) NZ adventure riders need/want to post on an international site when we have a dedicated, local noticeboard? No-one from the usa gives a monkeys about the next 'Nelson Rideouts' I would suspect?

So ya bloody mates have been banned here?, tell them I said grow up.

Its a bit like retailers; if you don't support local, maybe 1 day they will be gone........
