Awesome, me and elle as well as pom1 and his partner are going to be in Masterton tomorrow to ride toward Napier. We arent sure at this stage if we are going to go all the way, as the weather doesnt look too flash.

We certainly had a wonderful day, my apologies to those that made the trip right through to the end, I left the switch on during the day which flattened the battery a wee bit...hence the not so sunny day I promised.. but still it was good to meet other K.Bers...at the risk of repeating myself...what a nice bunch of people you all are...Spank-you must take credit for establishing such a forum that brings all these good folk together:first: To Scott and Carissa..an awesome effort and sacrifice by you and indeed the others that participated in this fund raiser...I am proud to support your efforts...Steve-thanks for the encouragement to ride this final leg...your good company. and to the Matriarch of our Mid-Week rides...your back in the groove again 'tart' was a good ride...just do your own thing girl...once again thanks you lot for an enjoyable day....and to the rest..WHERE THE BLOODY HELL WERE YOU ??????
Cheers W
