I’m going to head out in about 30 minutes if anyone is interested, probably towards old Mountain road/Waitetuna valley area.
Latte Run to Raglan leaving 9:30 this morning from WhataWhata, probably just a road ride.
Todays ride has been postponed to tomorrow, I’ll be organising something.
Meet at 9:30am at Whatawhata for a gentle cruise out to Raglan for brunch.
Only a little ride today as lots of the guys only have a few hours spare, though people are free to carry on to other places if they wish.
any news on a ride today?
See my post just above yours. 9:30 at Whatawhata.
ok thanks,might see you there
No one else has turned. I expecting @Sharn and 1 or 2 others who were interested on facebook but sharn broke his KTM and no one else showed.
I might head to Kawhia via bridal veil falls.
After everyone else piked out today I had a great solo ride just cruising along and doing some exploring.
First up was out past Bridal Veil falls and along Kawhia Road and South onto the Kawhia to Raglan road to Kawhia for an early lunch.
After lunch I nosed around a few dead ends in the area then headed home via Pirongia West Road.
Kawhia Road
Aotea Lagoon, near Kawhia
The North side of Aotea Lagoon has some very inviting looking sand dunes
Old Pirongia Road
As long as the weather is fine i will be going for a ride tomorrow. If your keen to come to then hit me up. I live in Te Awamutu.
i would be keen to go if the weather is good enough. any ideas on where?
Probably go kaimango rd, hauturu rd, waipuna rd, pio pio over pomerangis to awakino then somewhere else. I just ride everywhere haha
what time are you thinking of heading out?
Not sure yet but ill post on here when i decide. It will be in the morning.
my contact number is in my profile if you want to let me know when /if you are going tomorrow morning.
Cool as, will do.
I could b keen guys, am in paeroa do will take me a while 2 get to te awamutu. 021 412 201, cheers mike
Hmm, I just put the damn motard wheels on. I’d have to get up realy early to fit the gravel wheels and then ride Sth Auckland to Te Awamutu…………what time?
I’m going to wander over to the Classic Museum Motorcycle swap meet tomorrow morning then hopefully head out for a couple of hours from there.
hi Eddie, any idea of when you will be going out or where? i might be able to meet up some where.
No Idea sorry, I know thats not much help. Feeling a bit quiet after a few drinks last night.
Heading off the the swap meet now and probably won’t go far from Hamilton.
I’m hoping to head out Sunday for a short ride, probably just Hamilton To Raglan and back, poassibly via Old Mountain Road. It will entirely depend on how my energy levels are.
Rod Peterson and I are taking a ride today in the west Waikato heading south down to Raglan and back. Leaving Les Baskin Reserve just outside Tuakau at circa 8:30 am this morning. Meet us at the reserve if you’d like to ride along.
I didn’t get any takers to join me to day so I went for a random wander on my own. As it was a solo ride I posted some words and pictures in my Eddie’s Random Adventures thread.
I was out and about in Raglan and the lower end of the Te AKau coast today so kept an eye out but didn’t see you.
Anyone riding out of Hamilton this morning?
Had a good ride today, though no takers at such short notice. It was my first time out in a month and possibly the last chance for another month. There’s just too much stuff on at the moment.
A big loop East of Hamilton and then following the patch of blue sky led me to The Bike Shed at the Okoroire Pub.
On the way I made some new friends
Lunch was bloody good, 3 pieces of fish even in the fish and chip meal
Caught up with @Pieter Smit there with his awesome R1200GS sidecar and another local member.
I also found a new gravel road to check out and track on the GPS, though I didn’t go up it. Piakonui Rd in Richmond Downs, sort of North West of Matamata.
Is anyone interested in a mid week lunch in Central Hamilton once a month or something?
We had a good ride to Fletchers bay and discussed a west coast ride down to Awakino stay over night probably in February as we are apon the silly season . Where would we stay any good lodges or such in the area
After the success of the Fletchers Bay ride we are planning another ride to Mokau running down the Raglan coast then returning back thru Waitomo and home to Aucks . Hopefully the boys from BOP will intercept our route and join us . Looking at staying at one of the motorcamps overnight in Mokau . Planning to ride late Jan or early Feb
Hi,
this is on my bucket list- so would be keen work permitting
I think there’s a campground at Awakino
Peter, At Mokau there is the Seaview Hoilday Park and the Whitebait Inn ($10 sites per night). Both appear to have cabins for those that way inclined 😉
This trip heading south from Raglan and the timing both sound like a great plan Peter – already on my to do list – so please note me as a keen (tent accommodation) starter.
Good stuff Scott this time we will have to be a little more organised an fit in some socialising I’ve got some great lies to tell hahaha . Would have done it this year but with two rounds of Vinduro an the Burt plus hopefully a short Tiki tour around the top of the south would have struggled to fit in earlier . I think we may have a few more this time around a few mates who missed out last time should have their shit sorted Bruce has already planned a route be good if the BOP lads met us at Raglan or Oparau.
If I’m free I am definitely keen (another tenter). Raglan looks like a good spot to meet up. That part of the North Island is pretty much a mystery to me, so eager to explore…
I’d be keen!
Decide on a date and let us know.
Arrrr casting aspirations on my manliness by not camping are we big call for someone whose last name is Betty me thinks I can see some lively debate at our next social hour
Yep – interested (luxury cabin all the way for this Aucklander), and have a mate who might head up from New Plymouth as well
Anyone heading out this morning, thinking I might go south at about 9:30
Weather looks good this weekend and I’m going camping, if your keen then hit me up ?
damn!wish i could, i am heading to waihi for the weekend. i am sure it will be a great weekend for a ride.enjoy.
I will make a plan on which direction I am heading tonight and post on here. Message me for cell number if you want to contact me to meet up ?
Who’s riding where this weekend?
Weather depending I’m up for a Saturday or Sunday ride. Monday is out for me.
Saturday arvo, brainflex and myself are heading up Fishers then camping the night at Pokaka Mill. On Sunday morning we will attack the 42nd, Hikumutu Rd and the rest is unplanned. Maybe Waitewhena Rd and Centre of nth Isld too.
Meet up at Nikau Caves or even Port Waikato on Sunday? I can’t do a Saturday.
Sorry Keith, it turned out I had to go Saturday.
Pics of my ride here.
I’m heading out tomorrow morning for a wander up the Coromandel. No fixed route, just where ever my fancy takes me.
Hey guys here is the ride I am doing this weekend. Leave Saturday morning and camp at Port Waikato then head back Sunday. Photo attached and I have KML file if you need it.
That’s a great route WR DUDE, have done it many times myself.
You can also have a play on the sand dunes at port Waikato, which can be a bit of fun.
Looks like you will have great weather for it, shame that I cant join you for the ride but already planned a weekend away.
Some other time perhaps.
Looks like i cant upload the KML or GPX so if you want it then i will have to email to you.
