In the light of this: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...865#post820865

And the fact that now my hand is better and I haven't been on a decent ride for AGES!!! I was thinking about going to the Flying fish cafe for the 26th. If anyone else is interested in going for a ride there on the Sunday it should be a fun ride.

Besides my new CBR hasn't been for a good ride yet.

I only know of boring highway to Martinborough though so if we can find someone with better road knowledge around these parts that would be great!

Yeah I am keen. Let me think about a route for a second....

i'd be keen as beans if the weather is good.

Ok here is a really good route. The bit from Pahiatua to Alfredton is a little hazy in my memory, maybe someone can remember that from last time?

**MattRSK** · 12th November 2006, 14:24

Oh and the bit between Westmere and Moreland is not that twisty. I just forgot to deselect the road name!

That looks pretty cool. I think I've been on that road between Masterton and Martinborough once but not the road from ekatahuna. Anyhow, I'd probably get hopelessly lost by myself anyway. 2 weeks to go, better get my suspension sorted out by then...

From memory its pretty straightforward. I have done it with a few others from Palmy. KLOWN was there but he decided a different route would suit him on the day
