    The great calliper hunt.. (ride up noth sat 11th)

    Well as i've lost my calliper I'm going on another ride up north.... Will be taking pretty much the same route as last time....

    meet westgate.... fuel in wellsford.....then on to the place starting with a P.... then onto that gas station we stopped to refill at........ then on to dargaville......

    Now it gets tricky.... Cause i'll be stopping off for a bit for a thourough search for my calliper... Then on through the forest etc etc etc...

    Leaving westgate at 9:45. might be more suited to the medium riders.

    Cheaper to buy Jono, or is this something you need to do and it's a mint ride up North?

    yep I think it maybe the 2nd part mate. Would've been frustrating losing it that close to the best part of monday's ride.
    Shouldn't be a problem sorting a few of the boys 'n girls out from up these ways to show you guys some more on offer up here....oh and look for the caliper too
    Got a new front tyre yesterday and it needs a scrub'n I tell ya!

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
