    Biking scene in Cambridge?

    we're just waiting for our visas for nz and all being well will be heading
    to the cambridge area.
    The bike (triumph T595 daytona) will be shipped and will hopefully arrive in one piece.
    have we got any cambridge riders on here?
    whats the biking scene like in the area, are there any regular runs or meeting places,bars/cafes that sort of thing?
    Any cluds or groups who have regular run outs that i could tag on to ?
    cheers all

    There's a small number in Cambridge. Hamilton is just 10 minutes away though and there's quite a few of us there. Hamilton Motorcycle Club is the biggest in the area, or if you're old bugges you might want to hook up with the Ulysses Club.

    Hi Col from just down the road in Tokoroa (another expat albeit a long time ago). You're only an hour away from the famous Coromandel Peninsula biking mecca. You're just going to LOVE that!

    Cheers,

    Geoff.

    Nope, not yet. will be doing that as soon as visas arrive which cant be too much longer, i'm sick of bloody waiting. still its nice to know some countries are choosey about who they let in unlike here in the uk where they dont give a toss and allow any bugger to come in unchecked.(sorry rant over)
    we're hoping to find somewhere to rent in cambridge/hamilton/te awamutu area while we look for a place to buy.
    runour has it that you lot are all in bed for 9pm, does anyone ever go out to pubs or bars?
