Ride type: Sunday
Grade/Time: 3-4 (a bit of climbing), about 4hrs (bring your lunch)
Meet at the Ian Galloway park, off Curtis St and opposite the school.
The plan is to ride part of Skyline, depending on numbers and weather.
Date : Wednesday, 24th September, 6:30pm
Ride type: Wednesday Wander
Grade/Time: About 1.5hrs-2hrs
Meet on Thorndon Quay near the Mulgrave intersection, Pipitea. Note, a parking fee might be required (but should be free after 6:30).
Depending on the weather, this could end up being a few streets, a few alleyways, some steps and anything else we can find and try not to get evicted from Parliament, then possibly on to some other urban locations - or it could be an even better dirty ride!
Date : Wednesday, 1st October, 6:30pm
Ride type: Wednesday Wander
Grade/Time: 3, about 1.5hrs-2hrs
Meet at the Car Park across from the Newlands New World.
Someone (Tony &/or Karen's bike spirit, or Mark) aims to take us on a merry wander through the MTB delights that Newlands has to offer...
Date : Sunday, 5th October, 9:00 am
Ride type: 4 (tough) Duration: Who knows
Note: it takes at least an hour to get out to the start of this ride at Otaki from Wellington.
Meet near 274-316 Waitohu Valley Rd, Otaki. (This is different from the normal quarry meeting place.) Travel across the roundabout heading north through Otaki. After the Railway overbridge take the second turn on the right into Waitohu Valley Rd. Continue down until you reach the intersection with Ringawhati Rd. (If you reach the quarry you've gone too far.)
This is where the ride ends after one of the longest downhills in the Wellington region!
The detailed description I have: Otaki, up and over Mount Thompson and something something and then back to Otaki.
Ride Leader: Steve Meeres
Date : Wednesday, 8th October, 6:30 pm
Ride type: Wednesday
Grade/Time: 3-4, About 1.5-2hrs
Meet at the end of Cornish Street - Petone. From Wellington, Cornish Street is on the left immediately after going under the Petone off ramp. From the Hutt take the Korokoro Cres overpass off the Hutt Rd and then drive down Pito-One Rd (remember, you can't turn right into Cornish St from Western Hutt Rd anymore).
An explore of the Korokoro stream track. If the weather is good and the legs are willing, we might go up to the trig, but there are also some other ideas floating around.
Date : Wednesday, 15th October, 6:30 pm
Ride type: Wednesday
Grade/Time: Grade 3+. About 1.5hrs-2hrs
Meet: at the parking area to the north of KFC, Hagley St in central Porirua.
