It's fine. You just go a bit slow(er). But not in this crap weather...

Good road for learning as far as i found it, a mixture of tight corners, long corners and a few nice straight bits everything you want from a ride, are you interested in a ride out Sunday? the weather is currently showing sunny with occasional showers on tvnz website on the weekend so i might still go otherwise i plan to go out on Monday or Tuesday instead weather also permitting?

Arranging the ride with a few others on the facebook group if people are keen.

Oh I could be tempted but I work on Sundays, starting at 4pm What time do you head out that way and return home?

Its about 30 minutes from Havelock North, i am going to ring them tomorrow to double check they are open this Sunday 12ish (no reason why not at this stage) and doing lunch.

If they are and the weather looks to be reasonable (plan to go unless its a downpour) then we will likely leave the BP at Havelock north around 1115am. That will get us there just before lunch(no obligation for anyone to have a full meal if finances are not too good), i figure a hour for lunch leaving at 1pm if not sooner, if we take the back road via waimarama back (still to be decided) we will be back in Havelock North by 2pm ish(tho you may want to continue off the tukituki to Napier the back way You should be home between 2pm-230pm if that gives you enough time to then go to work.

*small voice pipes up*...
SWTFA is a learner and prolly won't be able to sustain any speed to stay with the group. Is a great ride, but as long as someone is prepared to take it real easy to stay with her, I think she wouldn't enjoy it.
I may be able to do something...will watch this space.

Learners get a real kick out of it when someone is prepared to take the time John...
