Saturday ride to Te Kaha and maybe Te Araroa.

[Matt Bleck]

Seeing as Monday's a holiday, and I've barely riden my bike in the last couple a months I thought a ride across the top of the East Cape would be nice.

Anyone else interested? Meet at the Gull Servo on Te Ngae Rd, Rotorua at say 10am.

Saturday or Monday? It is now definitley Monday!!!

I'm heading over to Whktne on Sun anyway & was thinking of staying the night; was gonna suggest meeting you lot at that Ohope turn-off (on the eastern side of Ohope).

But if the weather's gonna be shite....hmmm

Don't think I'd go as far as Te Araroa tho' ...don't wanna push my shoulder too much before the trackday

Sweet bro, i don't think it'll be raining maybe a bit windy.

[kiwifruit]

sounds sweet bro
see you at Gull at 10.... on monday eh? :cool:
i can cut back thru the back way from whakatane on the way back, minta

[HDTboy]

Monday gives me time to put some lights and a plate on

[Cajun]

i might pop down,

[rustys]

:sunny: Hey you dudes i'am riding north on saturday with a group, staying at waihau bay motor camp overnight maybe we can catch up together somewhere. I'am riding a red GSXF 1100 taking the grandson on his first trip away. Weather should be ok.
Cheers guys see you on the road maybe.:rockon:

[DingDong]

Mondays good for me, but I'll catch you guys in Whakatane or Ohope (either side) or whereever EMan tells me he's going to be. My bike will only do 250k on a full tank (at medium pace) so If there aint still a servo in Waihau Bay I'll have to head back to Opotiki.
I'll be busy Sunday soooo... keep us posted:yes:

It'll pay to fill up at Opotiki, there is a gas station just before Te Kaha and then one at Waihu Bay then Te Araroa, only 91 tho, and at a priemuim price.

If my memory services correctly :doobey: it's less than 200k's from Opotiki to Te Araroa....

Just before TeKaha, Omaio... think theres just a shop there, Waihau bay... think I'll turn back from there... got a few things to do in Opape (thats where I come from) we pass it on the way but Id like to head up the coast for a look.

[t3mp0r4ry nzr]

[Waylander]

[Highlander]

This sounds good but I'll be workin.

Forecast ain't flash for you guys going for a ride.

[Waylander]

Working on Labour day?

[Highlander]

Working on Labour day?

Yup. Someone has to - the joys of working in a 24 hr 7 day business.

[kiwifruit]

im gonna head over via murapara etc. meet you guys in Te Teko, will be there at 10.30, unless its pissing down

[Matt Bleck]

It's pissing down here and every where else I imagine, so I'm gunna call this ride off, no fun riding in the pissing rain with no hope of finding dry roads.

Sorry people, have a good holiday!!!!
