Sounds like a lovely ride, don't know about swimming, but will bring togs anyway :cold:

I'll be on me little 250 and hubby's on an M50.

See you Sunday.

[carlosliu]

I like :scooter:, not swim.
But count me in anyway.
May I ask when will we back to town?

[p.dath]

I have my son's birthday that day alas, so I wont be able to come.

[Ragingrob]

Damn would come Toto but am away at the beach :sunny:

[Maha]

We are gonna be at the beach also, Bream Bay (Ruakaka to be exact) no computer, no TV, no radio, just the sound of the waves and the oyster catchers :cool:

probly 2 - 3pm - no rush and depending on how much riding you falk feel like. We can always extend the riding :ride: (or shorten it by coming back via the tunnels)

I dont like to swim alone so if noone else is coming in the water it will be a ride only. We gotta go check the water temp in any case tho :yes:

Nice pick of the Ruakaka beach. I have deliberately aimed this to Leigh as it is more learner friendly and shortish, but if people feel adventurous and depending on the turnout we get we may tiki-tour that way too. Have a good one :)

[Cheshire Cat]

Sounds like fun :D

[retro asian]

I might be able to make it up to Leigh around 1.30pm... if further riding is happening after the swim, that is.

[gwigs]
