Labour day weekend ride. Sunday 21st oct.(Castle Point)

[Meanie]

how about everyone meet in Piahatua and if you feel you need an extra 10 mins to get over the track then leave 10 mins earlier. By having multipule meeting points for the start of the ride but the time the ride starts an hour as gone by.

It usually goes people meet in ashhurst and by the time every says hello and gets their helmet on and then run through to woodville where everyone stops, takes helmets off and says hello and chats and smokes and then ride through to piahatua where everyone takes helmets off, says hello and has a smoke. There goes an hour if your lucky.

A meeting time in Pahiatua is a good plan

I thought the plan was to go from ashhurst over track to pahiatua? and all meet at the bp with the eastern crew hmm that would be one stop ?

.. most of the usual crew will met at the normal meeting place anyhow cowboyz .. just giving those slower riders another option

[yod]

I'm not gonna be in Napier on Sunday morning (but will be heading up there after this ride) so I'll meet the usual suspects at the Ashhurst servo...8:30? 8:45?

We might go for a bit of a stray before going to piahatua. I think it will be easier and quicker for everyone to just meet up in piahatua.

How ever you want to work it, try to be at the BP servo Pahiatua by 9:30, give people time to gas bag, smoke up large and fuel up and be pretty much ready to go by 9:50. It's all in the CALENDAR.

Yeah I reckon that will give you plenty of time to get to Pahiatua BP by 9:30....

i think its about 40km from ashhurst to pahiatua via the track so 30 mins should be plenty, but will no doubt need a bit of extra time to gas up and discuss the impending ride with whoever is floating around

Sorry guys, I'm tentatively pulling out of this ride. Weather dependant Sarah and I are taking both Gixxers to AK for the KB Calandar cover shoot. I couldn't resist the chance for one or both to become international stars lol. Who knows where it may lead? Paris, London, Rome, New York, Milson lol.

Thanks Sarge, I was really looking forward to catching up with everyone again too. But it will be good to see a Gixxer on the calander eh!

Thats if it go's into production, been keeping an eye on Joni's calendar thread to see how it's going seen how i've paid for mine and all and it's pretty slow going.

Ooh that sounds great! thanks

What sort of time to meet at the start of the track?

hey guys a wee thought bout the start of the ride

those who are a wee bit nervous a think they may be a bit slower, or riding slower 2 up, how about meeting at the start of the track & head over at a slower pace .. those faster riders can meet at Ashhurst & head on over leaving bout 15-20 mins later

we can all meet at Pahiatua and at least the back roads from there are not that windy etc

Thought this might help in taking some pressure of those who are new to riding in groups etc and since we all have to met together in pahiatua may make it easier

I do not mind heading over with the slower group (not that long since I was in that situation and remember how it feels)

ok let the flaming begin wots the thoughts ??

Anyone wanting a quiet ride over the track met at 8.30 leaving by 8.40 just as you turn onto the track road there is a gravel area just on your left, thats where we will met

catch you then Dj & Monaime be good to see you out on a ride
