It was a bit breezy up there too ... and the elevated bits of the motorway were somewhat alarming :-)

Home safely now, anyway - hopefully Neil manages that too.

TCWNR - 3rd January 2007.

Weather is meant to be fine so here's hoping to see a good turnout at the duckpond.

Here's a suggestion for tomorrow nights ride.

Depart Avalon duckpond, Over the Haywards, Southern side of Pahatanui race circuit, take the last whitby turnoff into Postgate Drive, then right into Omapere St and then right at the roundabout onto Warspite Ave.
Ride up to the new Aotea sub division and do a recce ride there (Loop).
Straight down Whitford Brown Ave and South onto the motorway.
Turn off at second (Southern-most) Porirua off-ramp and west across the overbridge, left into kenepuru drive then right into Kenepuru Hospital, through the hospital grounds (Please observe speed limits and judder bars here), emerge on the Western Raiha Street CCH entrance and head south down Raiha St.
South down Tawa Main road and turn into Glenside (Middleton road), ride through to Johnsonville then across the J'Ville motorway overbridge onto Helston road - Stewart Drive - Newlands road and then down Ngarauga gorge and back to Lower Hutt.

Pub destination: How about the local hangout for TRTNR riders. Above the (Ex) Grumpy Mole in Lower Hutt. Otherwise Station Villiage?
Or we could head north onto the motorway from Newlands road and head into J'Ville and stop at one of the locals there.

If we do decide on J'Ville, We could extend the Pahatanui leg by riding the Grays road side first then taking in the first part of the south side before turning right into Postgate drive.

If you don't know the locations - Don't worry, follow the leader.

lets go a jvil pub.
we can do burn outs an wheelies down the main road.
and terrorise old ladies out doing there shopping.
ps dont forget to take number plates off.

**mikey** · 2nd January 2007, 19:37

and then after we all get wasted at the jvil valley(pool rooms), we can go out racing the back back road to karori via makara then the back road back to jvil/tawa.
person who does the most wheelies past consecutive cars wins. theres a few straight bits so 5 cars might be the target. ill buy anyone a beer that gets 6+

Wicked stuff Mikey, See you at the duckpond tomorrow, 7pm. Don't be late. (or early!)

Every body else still meeting 6.30pm for the usual 1/2 hour lecture about road/rider safety........

Sounds good Dafe, and J'ville pub sounds like a plan to me (only cause it's closer to my place, I'd invite you all back here for a beer, but nah!). Hopefully see yas there.
