    For those of us coming out from the City, hows about a 1:00pm rendezvous at the Kaiwharawhara Caltex station on Old Hutt Road, gassed and ready to ride by 1:15pm?

    We can convoy from there, swing by the Elephant Pond and all go on to the service together?

    That sounds just perfect. I'll see you there.
    Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

    The Elephant Pond is across the road from the old National Film Unit building in Avalon. Turn off the motorway at the Kennedy-Good Bridge.

    AKA the Duck pond (except when the elephant is in residence)

    Just over the Kennedy-Good bridge from SH2 there is a park (Avalon?) with a duck pond and a carpark where we assemble for the Wed night ride.

    Touch base with me Wednesday night if you haven't got a rider to accompany you. I'll come up and bring you back down Fergusson Drive and to Avalon to the Duck Pond.

    Perfect. I'm there.

    Edit: Are you sure this allows us enough time? I've been caught out heading up the m'way to the elephant pond before ... I sure as shit wouldn't want to be late. Is it going to bugger up a load of people if we say leave Kaiwharawhara at 12:45, leave elephant pond at 1:30?

    OTOH I am quite happy to defer to superior knowledge.

    Sounds like a good plan. Will see you there.
    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face.

    Good points. The traffic shouldn't be too bad at that time of day on a Thursday, but 12:45pm rendezvous, ride out at 1:00pm should give us time, to be sure to be sure.
