Calling all Palmy, Ashhurst & surrounding districts riders

[HornetBoy]

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

i would be keen to meet and ride out their mate thats myself and hornetboy senior thats if we dont take the back roads down to ashhurst , were did you have in mind to meet ?

[chanceyy]

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.

sounds good Lance .. can you do your map thingy so everyone has an idea of where we are going ..

[HornetBoy]

sounds good Lance

yep i love vinegar hill good way to round up meh square tyres

[chanceyy]

plan is to do lances deviation then to mangaweka for a decent break, fuel, lunch

from there we can discuss route home but heading back over vinegar hill is one option or down to halcombe road (I love both)

quick of the mark today chicky .. wondered who would be the first to leap on that one ... but guess Bobbie is the only one who can confirm or deny

be good to catch up as well

& I think a few ppl may need more than a days recovery but its a nice way to ease back into work the next day for a few

hmm now who is also attending the track day on the 5th jan .. $40 & great experience for sure .. I did one last yr & after my attack of nerves loved it ..

planning to attend again this yr & see if i have improved ..( & not get lapped by the leader) there are 4 groups race,fast, medium & slow .. the slow group has a leader top speed about 120 and you are not allowed to pass them

[Monamie]

Done Somewhere around 9.30 would be good as Ashhurst is just a few mins from there.
Be great to see you and cruise into a safe 2008!!

OK dumb question time - but what happens on track days? Never been to one, so I am really clueless.....

You obviously have'nt spent enough time in his company

[NZsarge]

Hey Monaime, did I see you and Stupey head north going through Woodville the other day...before Xmas?

an opportunity to ride around manfeild track on your bike .. I went round last yr & it was my 6th ride on my bike .. traffic all heading in the same direction, great to practice some cornering stuff & to have a great time ..

its different to riding on the road .. but in a relatively safe environment to not have to worry bout all the cagers that want to kill you ..

even if you do not ride should come out & watch & meet other kbers

[DJ]

ooh now that is tempting....
