Learner Ride to Cape Reinga (20 November)

[tnarg]

3 of us will be cruzing up from Royal oak about 8 if you want to hook up?

Me and my flat mate are leaving from here ( Sandringham) around 8am. What time you leaving? Probably going Nor- Western to Albany then Dairy Flat Highway( State highway 17). Should be less traffic that way.

Thats not a bad idea, we may go that way to. Keep away from bridge traffic. I think we will do that. We will be coming from the Royal Oak roundabout, escorting the Chocolate.

Ill be good.

We'll be going out the nor-western but then taking the riverhead coatsville highway over to 17, more fun than motorways!

[Maha]

Three mad as peeps are leaving now in the car to drive to Auckland for the pick up of the bikeless one...they promise to return with ice-cream...

[MarkW]

Just back from a prelim check over the road from Awanui to the Cape - all sweet.

I'll be running the full route (but in the reverse direction) that you guys are on tomorrow from Mangonui via Paihia and hope to be able to time things so that I pick you all up at Gull Whangarei. Figuring that most of you should be there by 11 - 11.30 ish but if I miss you spotting 23 hooligans on motorcycles shouldn't be too hard.

So ride safely.

Cheers

Actually that's not a bad idea. Traffic to the shore from west can get a bit busy around Albany.
