On the upside you'll have more time for riding and be closer to the good roads?

Not sure, but you'll get one from Oteha Valley Road

Ok thanks, looks like the same place for the junior ride?
I have been to a few of the SASS rides before but it is a little bit slower paced then what I was looking for.

Hi guys,

ATNR and ATNR-J start from different locations so that people don't get confused.

ATNR-J is for slower, learner, LAMS, new people or just laid back riders.

And starts at Oteha Valley Rd, finishing up at the same place as ATNR.

ATNR has typically been for the more spirited riders.

When you say 'spirited' you mean 'ghostly apparitions that don't turn up', right?

We had a good ride Thursday night leaving from Oteha, broke a few speed limits and someone lost a brake lever on a back road. I'm not sure that I'm ready to see what the senior riders get up to just yet...

Haha they can't get their precious slicks wet!!!!

Just remember with the ATNR-J ride that you have to go as fast as the slowest rider. I created that ride so that newbies feel welcome to come and learn/grow and ride. If there are heaps of you feel free to split the ride in 2 groups.

Be careful out there on a Thursday

know the area well.

Any one riding tonight? The patchy rain is forecast to clear

**5ive** · 11th December 2014, 15:42

Tentative yes from me. I was looking to go for a dry ride tonight, last night was a bit damp (gloves are still wet). Have not heard anything from the Oteha Valley Road or Autobahn meeting point threads, so will probably drop by Westgate if it remains dry, nothing else pops up, and I can leave work in time to get there.
