Have heard this is some of the best riding and I am going to do it soon.

Would love the company so help me plan a better than average trip.

I remember a couple of the LOR crew were interested and now it's time to get this official.
Lots of rides coming up. So would like this one out of the way within the next month.

I am thinking first weekend in October. 5th - 7th. So take off Friday morning.

Map is up for discussion as you lot know the area better than I do.

I want to come on the mighty hyo but a bit nervy after my last incident (back wheel locking up) - how long kms wise is the round trip planned to be?

Given that we may well come back through Pokeno onto the motorway I wouldnt think it would be any longer that 220-230 kms max

Thanks guys and girls for taking care of Ratbag aka Mrs Caseye.
Her Nonda is alright after suffering a water redistribution problem, Going to DPC on Mon or Tues for a check up and any remedial work needed.
She had a ball and was well chuffed with being able to ride with you lot. can't think why, nothing special really, well OK, cept for GB, Murray, Kerry an that Wayne fella ( I heard ya, WHO?) cheers guys and girls much appreciated.
if I missed anyone out feel free to come kick me in the leg next time you see me on a bike.
Swung a leg over the Nonda this arvo, was Soooooooo tempted to go for a wee blat, but refrained, drat, drat an double drat, shoulda, Na shouldn't a.

ROADRASH, could be very keen but why three days.Pressure at work rules three days out, but would be quite doable in too.BE interested to hear other opinions.
