Calling all Palmy, Ashhurst & surrounding districts riders

the awapuni pub did n0t have a large enough carpark .. hmmm been a while since I have been to the racecourse though ... hmmmmm I think a drive round palmy north may be required .. need quite a bit of room to do counter steering at 40 ks .. or an industrial street that is not used in the weekend

hmm that could have possibilities .. but again may not be big enough for counter steering as you need to get up to speed .. at least 40 ks .. counter steer through balls cut in half & stop .. figure we need approx 300 - 400 meters .. will check it with "the stranger" though .. then we need somewhere for the classroom stuff both morn & aft as well ..

Massey Uni carpark in the weekends is all open...the big one in front of the recreation centre. You could do 40 kms easy.

thats sounds like a possible .. hmmmm wonder if they will give us access to a room/toilets etc .. know anyone to get a hold of mo ?

**Monamie** · 30th December 2007, 20:41

..and I have an access card if it is closed

Ummm....Massey is closed until the 3rd so when they open up again I will see what I can do. May even be able to bribe my boss into letting us use my work for coffee and a pitstop....but then again...I don't have that much wine

..and if it is an afternoon course...we can zip out to my place for a BBQ after if the KBs are keen....just 10mins down the road and Stupy cooks a mean BBQ

just don't give him Garlic bread to cook

now that definately would be a plan .. its an all day event split into morning & afternoon with classroom stuff for first hour or so then ride .. break for lunch .. which will be byo .. thought I might make a choccy cake for it

then back to classroom for another hour before hitting bikes again .. so to end it with a BBQ so everyone can discuss it & ask questions in a relaxed setting sounds perfect ..

**Monamie** · 30th December 2007, 21:02

Excellent..maybe we could seal the day with a KB track,balance,saddle and then BBQ/discussion...pencil it in girlfriend!!

Oh...and I will let Stupy know he's cooking while we have refreshments
