    I'll be heading over for sure. Not tuned in to timings at this stage, but given I have to be at the airport to pick up SWMBO at 5pm, I think I'll be out earlier rather than later and have brunch somewhere in M'boro.

    Went up there this afternoon. The sealing is ok except on the way down there's a 4 inch ridge where it starts.

    OK, we're going to Palmy for lunch tomorrow so we will start at Rimutex at 10. Not making everybody assemble for that time, just putting our time out there for anyone else who wants to ride as a group over the hill. Looks like there's several options from the other end - Masterton Gallery, Martinborough and Palmy ... way cool.

    We just this minute got back from a ride to Wanganui and back. Brilliant weather NO traffic and just and all-round beautiful biking day.

    Just to let you know, but not to hijack your thread or idea, I've started a New thread for Sunday mornings 2008 Season as we do every year.

    T'was a great day to be out there.

    Left home at 7.30. Did Paua inlet, haywards, Rimu Hill to M'boro only to find I was too early for a cafe b/fast. Headed off on my tod out past the golf course, took the turn off to Glady and then up the hillclimb road, left and left and left again round to Masterton. Filled up with go juice and headed north for Paihiatua, took the track (that little rising left just before the railway tracks can be nasty!?) across to the back of Palmy , down through Shannon to Otaki for fuel, coffee and one of BP's finest Gourmet Pepper Steak pies (still getting reflux now!). Home via Paekak Hill and the Whitby inlet. 760km's in two days, the wrists are a little sore, the neck is worse but then I haven't ridden for nearly 18months. 900k's on the clock now, so it's time for WMC to do the 1st service and all will be good again.

    Awesome ride today. Thanks to deano, fatjim and the rest. Haven't been on a ride like that for 10 years. Awesome weather, roads, bikes and company. Still feeling the buzz.

    First time over the hill on the Daytona. Only managed to scare myself twice. Probably scared Fatjim a few times

    I've been trying to figure out where we went on the map. Buggered if I can figure it out.

    Anyway, thanks again. Can't wait until next the next one.

    Na mate, its all cool. I hadn't been on those roads for ages so I was happy to follow, plus I remember you biatching about the stones, and your bike is nicer than mine.
    Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

    I intended to ambush you in Featherston this morning but Murphy (in the guise of a flat battery) intervened. I spent a happy four hours playing on the Wairarapa backroads, but did not see that many bikes. Are you all avoiding me?
    The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.

    Great to ride with youse fellas again after a bit of a hiatus...

    As usual the pace was fun but not silly~

    ~indicator cam worked a treat.

    I would post the ascent and descent videos but could come under fire for a little bit of motorcycle fuckwitery - so I'll refrain this time.

    Vid by PM~
    Keep it rubber-side down...
