Sounds like an awesome ride. Unfortunately I wont be able to make it. You should get plenty of willing participants though.

Weather was crap at best...wind was horriffic..

A ew hardy souls madventured out despite all of this! I met a mate of mine at the bottom of Paekak Hill (northern end) and came over the hill. Multiple close calls with the front and back sliding all over the place. Haywards was better but pissing down...Still good to be out though!

A handful of us met up at the duck pond and decided to flag it all and head straight to the Parrot for brunch. Then the sun came out and the wind settled in.

all in all, a bit of a rough start but definately well worth it!

A few pics of the hardy few...
