RIDE IS ON - MEETING 10:30 INSTEAD OF 9:30

Hey folks. Shingo and I are planning to have a pootle tomorrow morning up north.

The PLAN:

Meet at Shell Westgate At 10:30 and leaving at 10:45 .
Going up to Wellsford on SH16 via Kaukapakapa. Have a 3-5 min toilet brake at Wellsford and then go down SH1 to Warkworth and depending what we have agreed in the beginning may stop for 15-20 min to eat something quick (not a 2 hour lunch).
From Warkworth we go on to TWISTY Woodcocks Rd which will take us back to SH16, from there we go back to Shell westgate - may stop for 3-5 min for a toilet brake.
Then we go out west to Huia or Piha or both depending on what we have desided in the morning.
Then if there is some other nice places we can go or someone has any ideas we can execute - the ideas not the people.
After that we come back to shell westgate or at least I am - if anyone wants to peel off before that, you are wellcome to do so as long as you let us know so we dont go back looking for you thinking you have crashed or something.

I must be back in westgate maximum 4pm so we are thinking that the ride is not suppose to take longer than that - we may also finish at earlier - we will find out.

NOTE:
This is a fairly straight forward but not specially catered for ride which means that there will be no people pointing the turns. The ride is open to everyone who would like to join. Riders on bigger bikes may find our pace slow. In saying that we will be keeping 100 or 110km so you need to be comfourtable on the open road.

The forcast for tomorrow is a little bit of cloud but mostly good weather with no rain. If hoever the forecast is wrong and it is raining cats and dogs ride is not going ahead and is gonna happen on another day

ya , will do on monday coz I gave my camera to a friend to borrow over the weekend .

Ride was bloody nice, the only downside of it all was that the weather was changing so much in the morning that we didnt know wether we are going or not. Anyway thanks to Shing and Adrian we decided that we will go out regardless and hoping for the weather. and boy o boy what a nice weather it was - just perfect. Not hot , not cloudy but the road was dry and everything was done nicely. It was my first time to Piha on a bike and thanks to shingo for getting ,me there.

Cheers. weather looks all good for monday so I may post something on sunday if I come up with something.

P.S. ChocolateWheels did you do your service ?
