    Aklds/Hams etc Whangamata-Waihi Sunday 14th

    Myself and Death INC are going to have a blast out to waihi way, as it's been ages since we've headed out there, mostly been doing the loop lately, and the road to whangamata from hikaui rates as one the best in our books, neither me or Death have the budget or the rubber to do the whole loop.

    Sooooo.......

    Meet for Aklders, Papakura Autobarn at 9.30am for departure at 10.00am, aiming to get to kopu Mobil for 11am, meet with any other riders keen for it from h town or the likes, onto Whangamata (lunch maybe, i dont eat, blew my food money last week), then onto Waihi and most prolly back the way we just come to Akld.

    Most of you know the pace me and Death can get along at, but this ride is open to all riders, we'll make sure someone is at any major turnoffs to point out the way to the unsure. Those who haven't ridden out that way before, you're missing out, so come along, great roads.

    Cool see you there

    remember to keep it safe I hear there is this tricky corner on the way from wahi back north, think theres some yellow marks and scratches so keep an eye out for it!

    oh and be careful in the first corners off the kopu road heading to whagas after you turn off the main coro road, the corrugations on the corners have gotten quite bad. Never forget when we where sitting at wahi and heard the ambo start up, old Death was up quick as I have seen him move and back up the road at a decent pace.

    He can move even quicker now, the old man greased up the bearings on his walking frame.
    I dont recall any dangerous corners, round there, i dont make the same mistake twice (coming from a guy whos written two bikes off doing wheelies )

    So any slightly slower peoples going. Havn't really given my new wheels a real good go so will be a litle slower on them . If not there is this slower ride later in the day but if the weather is mint i don't want to waste half the day
    Lump lingered last in line for brains,
    And the ones she got were sort of rotten and insane...
