Wellington Wednesday Night Cruisy Summer Rides -- 2008/09

If the brackets for my new (OLD!) bike are finished, I may take it for our very first ride together and join you all at the destination (if someone would be good enough to tell me where that might be....

)

I'm in Wellington now... keen to go for a ride if someone can have me as pillion.. only problem is I'd need to be picked up from the hutt. I'm stuck without a car and my flatmates bike isn't running

(And yes, I come with all my own gear

)

Couple of options this way - ride over the Paekak Hill to Gordy's Bar in Paraparaumu or ride to the top of the PK Hill carpark then back around the Pauatahanui inlet to the Montieths Bar or Sandbar at Mana.

Sounds good but I'm not confident enough to ride over the paekak hill and neither is my wife... especial if its windy....

so would have to meet you guys at the other end...

Could always do laps of the inlet....
Actually most of the PK Hill is a sheltered run up the valley and is not difficult when taken at an easy pace. Its only the bit from Paekak up to the carpark that is challanging in places.
There are other options anyway....we havnt done the run out to Makara this year yet...
Decide at the duck pond

Im seeing alot of guys here that are wanting to build up experience and skills before taking on the big hill. You guys are all welcome to join in the 250/learner rides. We go at a good pace where everyone is safe and comfy. great way to meet others and get some knowledge in those nogins and then later on we will all do the hill together.

see the clubs---> 250 notice board for meeting times and dates.
