Been a while since I've been for a ride...Plus it might be good to meet some people who ride since moving down from the big smoke

It's this one.

Be great to have you guys along with us so get yourselves organised and ride on people.

Your link doesnt work but this is what it should link to

k folks, heres the deal for this ride:
Meet at Papakura Autobahn at 8.30am for a 9.00am roll. From there we head south passing through Huntly and Ngaruwahia until we arrive at the Viands Bakery in Te Awamutu (www.viandsbakery.co.nz)
Hook into a number of the fine, traditional home made pies which this establishment is famous for then its saddle up and head north stopping off at the Waingaro Hotel for a pint of your favourite (www.waingarohotel.co.nz)
All up a full day on the road doing what we do best, riding bikes, eating pies and drinking pints.....who could ask for anything more..
I want to thank Leathal for putting this ride together, checking the routes and venues and generally be an all round good egg. Chipper work old boy....

What road from Te Awamutu to the Waingaro?? - could be a good ride if we meet up at Ngarawahia and do the loop back through waingaro

This one sounds a bit more my style! Plus not having to be ready to set off early in the AM tickles my fancy too... (If I have to get up at 6am on the weekend, it feels too much like work)

I was looking at doing a regroup on the way down where the rivers meet (the park) Ngarawahia

Way back I wanted to go Waingaro from the Raglin road but there are a few new riders heading along and if its wet the nice windy road might get a little slippery so will go in from Ngarawahia to the pub and those looping back south can go out to the Raglin road and those wanting a windy road north can do 22, I will lead back to Huntly

If the link works this is my intended trip, Might bypass Otorohuga and go down Te Kawa road

I might pass on this. If I go out, I think I will either nosy around the track day, or just do a cafe run somewhere (eg. one of Raglan, Te Kuiti, Tokaroa, Okoroire).

900 metres away from the old one

The trackday is tomorrow though, whereas the ride was planned for Sunday I think. I still don't know when we will go skiing, so will see. But if I'm free tomorrow I think I will head up to Hampton Downs. Last time I was there I was able to have a look at one of the Brittens

Saturday/Sunday - it's all the same to me

If you do go throw me a PM or text, I'd be keen to tag along. Could try a few of the interesting roads around the old tron.

I might head out Sunday (track days only Saturday) - Saturdays been booked by Trina (after I finish work at 3.30) to spend the last day open of the old Rapa.

Strange when she doesnt drink
