Cheers guys for turning up to that ride on Sunday. It's been a pleasure riding along with you on that nice and sunny day, to meet you for those I didn't know and to see again the familiar faces

I'm totally up to follow next time again.
Here is some pics I took during the ride.

Yup sure. You are welcome. The ride on Sunday was very easy paced and ideal for getting into group riding.

I won't be around this Sunday incase the guys want to organise a ride. The Wairarapa Cliffhanger event is on, so Mrs B. and I are pootling over the hill to have a looksie on the Sunday.

What time we heading over?

Great ride last Sunday by the way. A true "cruisy" ride.
We ended up heading over the tukas after our coffee at the batch. Met up with captain andrey and hawkeye at the top, so the four of us carried on to featherston for a cold one and back home about 5 oclock, a perfect way to spend a Sunday.

If you guys are up to that would be a great day to go to Lake Ferry and have a lunch there, then cruise back to Welly. What do you think?

**Cloggy** · 12th March 2009, 19:41

Sounds like a great idea and I'd love to come along but alas the bike needs it's first service and will be parked up this weekend awaiting it's Wednesday appointment at Motorad.
I'd definitely be a starter for a bit of ride (a couple of hundred kays?) next weekend. Anyone keen?

what time will you guys be at lake ferry? might meet you over there

**Laxi** · 20th March 2009, 22:01

was hoping somthing was on this week if the weather was good, wednesday was a good ride but got home rather wet and cold, hanging out for a good ride at the moment but the weather looks dodgy for sunday anyway, might have to take my chances with a run over the hill tomorrow

Same here. And although it is fine at the moment, Southerlies and showers are forecast to roll in later this afternoon.
However the weather forecasters have been known to get things wrong from time to time.
Should things improve tomorrow I am keen on a little blat. Was thinking something along the lines of a trip to Castlepoint or a round trip along some of the back roads in the Wairarapa. Mapped out a possible route which went around the lake, past Stonehenge, go for a little looksie to see what road looks like on which they held the Cliffhanger last weekend, head to Masterton for a refuel (bike and body) and trundle back home.

Sounds really good ! I've been wanting to go on a little escape further the Rimutakas for ages, will definetely be in if the weather is good and the ride confirmed

If you want a really good ride. I would suggest this one, that I did a while back. Over the Takas out to Masterton via the main rd, (yes I know but bear with me). Turn Right outta Masterton and head to Castlepoint. Is an excellent bit of road, with some nice corners on it. Be mindful of the two really sharp bends in the small gorge bt (often have loose p gravel on the cornering lines). Take in the magnificent views at Castlepoint, and then head back in. Turn left before getting into Masterton, and head to Martinborough via the back roads, and then back over the Taka's. Is a longish kinda ride, but is awesome, and well worth it.

If and when a ride goes ahead, the details of where we meet and meeting times will be advertised on here.

Weather forecasters got it right today eh. Not a good day for riding.
