Hastings Sunday Family Beach Ride January 4th

Hi All

The Hastings Sunday group programme has listed a family beach ride to Porangahau Beach. The distance is 110km's and we will go down Middle road, TeKura, Elsthorpe Road, Racecourse road to Waipawa then Highway 2 to Waipukurau turning off past the Heated pool to follow the CHB Tour route down to the beach (Tavistock road,Farm Road, Middleton Road, Porongahau Road, Blackhead Road, Hunter Road) . The idea is that families will drive down taking a picnic lunch, have a swim, play beach cricket etc and riders will make their way home by car. If it is blowing a gale or cold then we will do Camp David, Kahuranakei Loop also an option for those not interested in the picnic idea. Short distance can be Camp David return. Porangahau Beach is a sandy beach and reasonably safe for swimming, boogie boarding.

Cheers Steve
