In celebration of me getting older (and hopefully wiser) I’m having a beer at the top of the Akatarawa’s.  What better way to spend a Friday evening than doing a 160km night ride? :-p

The plan is to leave the office in the Wellington CBD at 6pm.  We should hit the top of the Aka’s by 8:30pm and have time for a beer before dropping into Waikanae and heading back to the CBD.  All going well it will be a nice clear night so hopefully minimal lighting will be required up the Aka’s.  If it’s pouring with rain we’ll push back to Saturday night.

Here are the rules:

1. You must have a beer to drink at the top.  Unlike the locals we will not be leaving the empties up there so be prepared to take it with you to Waikanae.
2. You must have front and rear lights with enough battery power to last 6 hours.  There are no streetlights for most of the trip and there will be traffic.
3. You must have suitable clothing.  It will be cold and could rain so a jacket is required.

When: Friday May 8th, 6pm

Rain date: Saturday May 9th, 6pm

Where: The office in Wellington – let me know if you need directions
