Thought the last Suzuki Trails Event email update said Pigeon Bay was cancelled.
Found it, it did...

Hi Trailriders
Event Cancellation Pigeon Bay Sunday 1 April
Unfortunately we have to cancel the Pigeon Bay Trailride on Banks Peninsula this weekend. A trailride I know a number of people were looking forward too, the weather conditions have not been ideal with not enough rain. With it being too dry there is little grass growth at present and being a different soil type on Banks Peninsula we have to tread lightly on this area.

Next Event Beautiful Valley Trailride Sunday 17 April 2016

I'll aim to join in on the Lees ride on the 9th.

Cheers TA, looks like I'll be ok to do less valley.

Spent yesterday putting all the road bits back on the WR 450 and also registered it, it has a three year WOF so that's cool.
Be nice to see new faces if they want to join in.

If you were going Sunday I'd be in but have plans Saturday, you need to call McDonald Downs in advance and leave $10 koha (unless thats changed in last 12months) in the homesteads letterbox 033144272

Ok. Short notice, but heading to Murchison to meet Underground and have breakfast. Then on to west coast, some gravel around Brunner and back via Arthurs and Coleridge. Leaving peg 0645.

That actually sounds bloomin good even with that start time, need to go early for breakfast down the road aye.
But unfortunately, or fortunately depending upon how you look at it, I am to be elsewhere though, doing other stuff like sleeping and campervanning but I'm sure I will think of you guys when I wake up.

Please stop for a moment and take a photo if you get any good views of autumn colours.
