[RM125king]

who wants to meet up and leave auckland around 6 am at bombay and head down to wanganui on boxing day for the races?

[Vagabond]

Myself and three other mates non KB'ers will be meeting up at 5:30 taking TeKuiti, Taumarunui and then some road called paraparas which Iv'e never been on, the pace won't be too hot as two of the guys just plod along. So if you keen to get up a little earlier? or we might change our time, will post again closer to the day.

[Blackbuell]

There may be a group of us meeting at 4.00am papakura autobarn,not sure of numbers yet so we probly wont be too far off your time when leaving tekuiti,will keep you posted.

does anyone know the condition of the para paras?
with all the rain we've had it may not be too flash .
but is an awesome road when it in good knick

[Blackbuell]

theres still quite a bit of road works,have to take it easy through there,it will never be the road it used to be cause of the rain damage over the last few years.

[RM125king]

Well maybe that's a stretch but I just went down to Wellington this Tuesday and returned Wednesday: both via Wanganui.
The Paraparas are a mess. More road works than I remember seeing ever and lots of slips, gravel, dirt and construction all the way through.

Honestly, I'm gonna give them a miss if I can. Hell, it'd be worth a longer trip through New Plymouth to avoid them!

Good luck if you do ride the Paraparas though, you'll need it! If it rains they'll be an absolute nightmare.
