Laxed out rides

[Spazm]

... Sorry, my bad .. being too serious again

I am pretty novice on this sort of thing but it sounds like a good idea. going to do a bit of a fish about and maybe we should all have a yarn about it before we head out next time.

Sounds like a plan too, sometimes it's like everyone's so excited about going they don't make sure everyone is ready. Blink and the groups already gone

[WhatThe???]

Totally agree with you on this one Snot, oops sorry, Mr Koz. Dave rocks, at least you know there is never a quiet moment and he keeps us all on a high had a good blat up the motorway with him yesterday, and probably saved his bacon from a ticket

really appreciated btw!

Na mate it's called being organised. I am sure our group would be stuffed if we didn't have organised people

[WhatThe???]

hehe, like the 1st ever laxed out ride which also happens to be the most wet ride and the ride with the most hail LMAO

I was pegged for the lead, my plan was to go "this way" and then maybe "go down to cambridge" through "mystery creek (mumble mumble) down some road (mumble mumble) this way?"

So yeah we are learnin

[Spazm]

LOL.. yeah but ya don't wanna be too organised, or it takes some of the fun and stories away..

I reckon paddy had it bang on, he rode at his pace (fairly swift for me ) and stopped at intersections that we turned off the current road till the endcap got there.

That way we knew that if we couldn't see anyone we could just follow the road we are on till we saw someone, got rid of the "shit maybe they went this way"

With teams of more than 10 i think half-way stops would work for example a team of 14: The lead stops till they count 8 and then the front 7 head on and the 8th waits for the endcap.

Dunno, it makes it simple and it takes allot of thinking out of it.

Um yes we know that feeling, sigh we had a ride from the Quality to Orini Road on our own cause you were all goff and off (was nice the bike can go over 100 and there was no around!!

hehe yeah was possibly not the best move to put dave in front on his brand new zx10 on a road with heavy traffic

That route is pretty similar to what i was planning.
Those that followed me on the way back from Kawhia have already riden a big chunk of it so the will know where they are going, maybe.
The Turitea, Honikiwi Rd is a good section, (used for Targa Rally) and keeps us off 39 until just out of Oto.
Was going to suggest going out Waitomo Valley rd, and back into Oto via old Tekuiti rd, only have to cross SH3 once.
If thats not long enough can go out east of Oto, Mongaronga rd and come back onto SH3 at Tekawa head south to Puketerata road, and end up back onto same route as planned.
If some one could add this onto a map that would be appreciated, dont have time at the moment to sort out how to do it.

Sounds great not sure how to edit those maps.... will have to have a play.

[PaddyFZ1]

Those extra pieces will only add about 40 - 50 km. But there is a good mix of twisties and open sweeping country roads. So a bit of everything.

Yeah man sound great, if you get a chance, have a play on this site:
http://www.motowhere.com/

Its an easy way to waste a whole packet of time tracking out routes its probably then best and consequently the hardest to use site of its kind.

anyways, i should really go home and go to bed... to late to be at work.

If I remember rightly Waitomo Valley Rd is pretty cool. And the targa rd is cool as well. I can see some people with the front wheel up over a lifted section in the road.

Good ideas about the corners. As long as someone stops before it it's all good. We stopped around one of them on Sunday and then saw 2 bikes fly past! They worked it out though.

Would it work having the drink/dinner/drinks on the Saturday before a ride like Murray suggested? Would be really convenient for us who would stay at the kingsgate that night.

And for those that are saying they're terrible with names. Here something geeky I learnt at a conference once. Your crap because you say your crap. Just like saying you can never go to sleep before 11pm. You tell yourself that so many times your sub-conscisious things it's true.

I used to be bad with names now I'm getting better (see? ) I just don't like saying them in case I get them wrong and call someone Snot when clearly there name is Goat I'm still working on this part though. It's kinda scary how it works.

I'm also currently working on "I am a confident and god-like rider" and also "snot green is no match for blood red". Apparently, I keep hearing a laughing sound in my head everytime I mention them
