Havent been on this route before so if anyone who has and is avaialble to lead the way then that would be great.

Saturday 31 March 2007
Meeting at Rimutex 0900hrs Depart at 0930hrs.

Go to Martinborough.
Then Martinborough to Gladstone and Masterton.
Then Masterton to Alfredton,
Alfredton to Eketahuna.
Then North along SH2 and take the Mangamaire turn off on the left.
Link up to the Pahiatua Track.
Then Pahiatua track through to Palmy then Shannon, Levin, and down to Paekakariki and over the hill back to Haywards and Then into the Hutt Valley.

And in the Words of Jim2 "Do NOT drone up SH2 or I'll hunt you down and kill you. Clear!" Yes Jim - zero droning to take place.

[Wasp]

jeez you guys are keen - I havnt been past masterton yet (except when i rode the bike home from getting repaired in new plymouth)

doubt i'll be there - 9 am is too early zzzzzzzzz....

[Hawkeye]

Love to join you guys but I'm about to don the leathers and head over to Matrinborough in 5 mins. Ride the hill, play a round of golf, ride the hill back. I may even ride the hill 2-3 more times before I come home.
Take it easy going over there. That wet stuff we had overnight will make it a little slippy.

[bull]

Well the forcast isnt fantastic, but its worth heading out and can reassess at top of rimutakas, and if still good reassess at martinborough.

See you at 0900hrs

[Colapop]

What's it like out that way? It's pretty shit in here (Wright's Hill - Krackerville) blowing a f*cking gale and wet too....:angry: Not gonna ride today - gotta go what the 1stXV play under 21's anyway.

[bull]

very overcast - but only light breeze, looks like its breaking on the takas.

Going to wait a few hours, too slippy me thinks at moment, Stokes Valley is in blanket of misty rain can't see across the valley.

Will review around 11am.

Tentatively: 11.30am Rimutak Caltex for 11.45 departure.

[Colapop]

Take it easy bro.

[bull]

Heya Guy,
Ill head down at 0900hrs to see if anyone else shows up - drizzle has just started up here so happy to postpone till 1130hrs.

Bugger, that would have been cool going ova the hill. So it's up the SH1 tomorrow then?

[Wasp]

yea.....

felt like turning around and telling em to give me the 636 back

[Hawkeye]

Went over the Takas this morning. Played a round of golf at Martinborough and then had a play on the hill before heading home.:ride:

Take it easy up there. There are a number of the corners slippery as. The back end jumped out on me a number of times. :shit:
We could do with a really good downpour to wash it all off.

[bull]

Thanks for the ride today guys - really enjoyed myself.
