The Waikato Chapter of the Triumph Riders Club had a run out today as well.
This written by George Anderson.
Well after many weeks of postphoned rides in the last few weeks we finally picked a great day to ride.
Started off with being collected from the Triumph Riders President in Te Awamutu just after 10.00am. We then proceeded to meet up with the other Chapter members in Pirongia for coffee & catch up with some boys from the Auckland & Waikato Chapters
Heading south down SH3 towards Otorohanga turning left on to Te Kawa Rd, from there into Kihikihi up Golf Rd on to Cambridge through to the Oasis Hideaway.
After lunch we headed out to the Okoroire Hot Springs Bike Shed for a refresher & more talk. Around 3.30 we headed back towards Tirau for gas on our way to Cambridge a few of us went SH1 the rest of us jumped the river & went up towards Karaprio.
Roads were good no rain & didn't notice the wind much, but a couple other felt the wind. All in all a good ride moderate speeds the Pres said keep it under 80kms & the other comment came back from one of the Rocket Riders was under 180kms. See how well we communicate. Good communication with skills at intersections leaving no one behind. A few of us took turns at being tail end charlie..so gas consumption was good.
Great Ride guys & good to catch up again & thanks to Clarkey for organising another good day out. 17 Bikes in total except a couple Aucklander's had to leave early as their lovely partners missed them too much
If you have a chance check out the Oasis Hideaway in the back of Cambridge its worth visiting & they make great pizza & burgers.
