Wednesday 6th February. Well time to do another Waitangi day ride soon.Last year we had a great turn out so time to do again.

A run to Kaikoura for lunch via the inland road back the coast road.

Meet at the The Peg - Belfast Tavern carpark Main North Road Belfast. 9-30am for a 10am departure

And as usual weather permitting.

I'm a fan for the Kai just not too sure if I'm in on this one but hey any rides a good ride. There will be a shit load of traffic on the Akaroa Highway. The inland rout to kai will in all probailty have less volume.

Too many shitheads on last years run to Ackers on Feb 6, think I'll stay away from this one, but I wish you a lovely ride anyway

Yeah there were a few but most stopped at the pubs on the way and stayed.While we carried on to Akaroa,i remember seeing you there.Most i have talked to seem more keen on the Kailoura ride so far.

Have a few more bikers interested in coming along,and some are keen on the Block ride.Decisions?

I'd be keen on the block run, we did that Kai trip start of Jan which was good also, but I'm voting for the block as something different. Of course weather dependant, I guess if the weather is looking like crap on the coast then the Kai trip is a good alternative.

Yeah... the block ride sounds good, If it turns to poo over the hill we can go to Kai like MTW said.

I'll be there anyway I'm happy to go anywhere

I dont mind where as well i just like getting out for a decent ride.And having a great day off from work.

you could go to kai via the leder road, go ther culverden-rotherham-waiau, instead of going going up past mt lyford go the other way, the road comes out about parnassus (north of cheviot). i think that road is much nicer to ride than the inland one.

I know what you mean, I would of gone on the last one you went on, but had to work

And it was an awesome day to.Im glad my truck driving days are over - i used to envy seeing bikes out for a ride on a nice day when i was busy working.Now i just envy everyone that goes for rides at the weekends while im stuck at home looking after the kids.
