Probably the most decent ride. Paeroa would have been cool, but Brooke's in Oz this weekend and Lockie goes in for the full round of kiddie ops this friday (tonsils, the other thingies that sound like astroids, and something to do with his ears). I've been wanting a decent ride. Even wiped the dust off the bike last week!

What about the folks - have they been out???

haha they were all geared up to head out a while back then my sister decided she wanted to take the boat out. Mum was going to meet them in Tauranga but never got around to it. She does ride a fair bit when she works in Thames. She's certainly packing on the k's which is good. It's Dad that doesn't get out. Almost need to get him out a couple of weekends in a row to move him along.

I'm going for a 1-way trip to whangamata on Thursday (unsure of departing time at this stage) anyone else lucky enough to not be working to join me?

Edit: I'll be returning the following day at an unspecified time

Sounds like a few or more are heading up to Paeroa on Sunday.

Nigel is going early, jonpom late and Don maybe Saturday. A few more are looking at leaving from the Kingsgate Hotel carpark - 9.30 at the latest - if you want to join us meet up there.

Thats the plan at this stage anyway

Note - $30 entry fee and storage bags available at the Pub on the Corner for about $5 a bag (will it was 3 years ago)

Anyone got a bike trailer I could borrow from 27th Feb - 1st March?

What exactly are those storage bags you're talking about Murray?

I'll be heading up on Saturday, but probably won't see any of you guys on the road as I'm going via Putaruru and Tauranga.

When do you hit Putaruru? If I can find the time I might have to head out...

I haven't thought that far yet lol. Not sure yet what I'll do that day aside of riding up.

When do you have time? Are you on call again?

Basically a big black rubbish bag you put your helmet/leathers etc in and then its sealed and stored and you are given a ticket. The pub on the corner at the southern end of the town does it. Never been on a Saturday but assume they do it then to. Just a short walk from the main car-parking area.

That is neat. Thanks. :-)

Only on call once a month, give or take, so I am good.

I just realised the event is only on the Sunday - that could work better, was just looking for an excuse to get out on the bike! PM or text me if you want a tag along. Otherwise I can always head out for a ride Sunday instead.
