THIs is coming up again!!!!!!! 2010 anzac weekend

whos coming

ILL BE LEAVING FRIDAY.....

Ok so real quick, Weekend of April 24th (FRI) till 27th theres a rally at Whangamomona on the forgotten highway 20 mins ride from the pub. Im looking at heading down either Friday or Sat returning Sun. Bout a 5 hour ride and Im seeking more details. Heard its a smallish but ex rally.

Interested anyone??

Up Date: So Ive been told its not wise to ride due to the roads after dark, so Ill be leaving either Friday or Sat to get there before darkness (dont mind what day) Been told theres sheds to sleep in but i hate snoring so will prob take a tent. Not sure of admission cost but I have heard nothing but good things about this rally. Sheep shearing comps and lots of other weird wonderful events.

Im wondering who else is heading down so I can ride with someone. Im meeting a crew from CHCH so looks like theres people from all over.

The rally itself is about 10 km north of the pub (tahora) held by the Rural Riders on a farm just off the highway (signposted) brilliant venue and real good ppl !
All ya need is a tent and some coin, they lay on the sounds, bar facilities and food !

hmm may have been tempted by this one but the ole social calendar is looking pretty full

can say though go by yourself you will have a simply outstanding time .. I just got back from riders in the sun rally that was a smaller one but just brilliant time with really lovely friendly guys n gals

+1 on that ! The Rural riders are predominantly older riders with a few youngins thrown in so ya wont be short of folk looking after ya, in the most gentlemanly ways, or if ya want tell em to piss off and rock with the revellers !

Don't think the house will be up for stomping round in during the rally, but your right, Kerry is a good bloke who frequents a lot of rallys here and there !
The ride there is awesome (sort of thing ya mad to come out the same way ya went in !) The pub is only a few k away and always friendly faces there !

The bloody pub,was there with a few one labour weekend,after Norton riders came and went,then off roaders did same the next day,then we arrived on Monday and after sitting outside the publican came out and said to us "Bloody bikers piss me off" then went onto say how many had riden through and he couldn't get out,I turned to him and said ah well think of the surcharge,to which he said that goes to the bloody wife and she won't let me tootle off for ride,ranting away.
