Attached is the route that I am looking at doing.

the trick is you've saved a shortcut to your map and then linked to that local file. easierr to create in google maps and then share it, looks like a pretty nice track though.

Yea i think I am abit stuck and not sure how to add it correct :S

Haha I have been on a proper bike just not too often lol...i have a goal to ride it every day till the end of may right now lol instead of using the car unless i am taking the dog out

[Hopeful Bastard]

Holy shit.. That is a ride! I would attend, But i may be heading on this Wellington free Ambulance ride and Cant afford to get caught without a Rego..

Well thats a good goal right there!

[Anomaly]

Yea I have a goal to do the 1000k in only petrol stops so eugene and I are going to start praticing but he is away this weekend.

Ahhh fair enough about the rego.

Hi Vanessa,

I am interested - just trying to work out my plans. There is a group of Kapiti riders going north, meeting any rapa riders at woodille, then to Porangahu for lunch, then back again. It sort of covers your route??

Will let you know if I am able, and meeting point etc.
