Calling all Palmy, Ashhurst & surrounding districts riders

[chanceyy]

This will be a cruisy ride for the newbie riders & those who wanna come outta the woodwork & join us for a pootle .. this is not a race & we will ensure that no one gets lost so there will be plenty of smoke breaks

Date: 2nd of Jan

Meeting point: Ashhurst garage

Time 10am, Leaving 10.30am

Destination .. basic thoughts for the ride are .. Apiti loop> Cheltenham, Vinegar Hill & Mangaweka for lunch .. from there we will see how everyone is feeling, May just scoot down state highway 1 til Halcombe turn off orrrrrrrrrrrr may explore back of Marton before heading back towards Halcombe > Feilding > Colyton road & end up at Ashhurst again .. it can be extended or shortened ...

however trying to organise a mid length ride as some ppl have not been riding very long at all eg 10 days ..

Calendar event here

discuss away .. plans can always be changed ..

I am in for this one. Would have been riding 8 days by then. Already have just over 100kms under my belt, and will have heaps more by then.

Looking forward to putting some names to faces.

oops my bad thought you would have been riding 10 .. I stand corrected .. you did good tonite chick so no worries .. its a ride at your own pace kinda deal ... we will wait at intersections etc so no probs

Not a worry, only started yesterday. The ride will be the 9th day.

Today was great, thanks for the tips as well, much appreciated.

Take offs were much smoother on the way home hehe

woohoo I'll be in on that!

welcome girl ..just remember there are some really experienced riders in the area who can give you really good advice and I highly recommend getting some lessons .. they are really invaluable, just have to ask ... I am still a newbie rider as well, but I know how I felt on those first jaunts out ..

stoked for you that the bike is finally ridable

[chanceyy]

woohoo I'll be in on that!

excellent DJ be good to catch up again

seems like a good idea. suggestion on slight route change though. Garry, Meanie and NZsarge and I were out that way last weekend and found a really nice little road from Kimbolton to the main road. it cuts off about 20km of the run but also cuts off alot of striaghts and is very scenic. go apiti loop, kimbolton, quarter way to mangaweka then turn left just before rangiwhaiaha (sp?). From there it is only 20km to the main road which comes out at Ohinghiti. Back down vinegar hill or maybe continue down to halcombe hill. It is a great road.

Once again , I will have to see what I'm up to , I might make this ride as well

anyone around the city area feel like congregating somewhere and travelling out en mass to the Ashhurst starting point?

This was taken at the end of that road. That first left hander on the other side of the road has a fence post mighty close to the edge of the road. Don't cut the corner
