[sinfull]

Have an awesome ride today guys ....

Thanks Kari, will do that ! Just a bit of light drizzle about, nice and warm, so i'd say we be doing the full loop !

Reg is between 9am and 10 this morning at fatboys behind cob&co Levin, if anyone feels the urge to don their wets and join us !
20 bucks is all we ask to go towards Jaides fundraiser, and there will be alot of mystery envelopes handed out along the way and after hearing what sort of stuff is gonna be in them, they are all well in excess of the $20 value !

Great stuff Bill! Wasn't that the Apiti pub?

[ajturbo]

well done to the OSR!!!!!!!!!

[sinfull]

Great stuff Bill! Wasn't that the Apiti pub?

Yeah mate, who'd do that aye lol Drag 70 odd bikes through the Apiti loop in mid winter bwahahahahahaa

Big ups to them folk at the Apiti Tavern for catering to the hordes yesterday, they had Two BBQ's cranking when we got there, plus bar meals ! Had raised Hundreds of dollars in the weeks leading up to the ride from the small but generous community ! Donated a chop licking bottle of brown liquid for a quick fire raffle on the bar which went pretty quick !

The commercial Hotel in Ashurst was another who kindly opened early on the sunday, had the coffee's layed out for us, Two more bottles of the dark liquid which were soon auctioned off (ya can tell who was gonna be the highest bidders by the glowing noses lol)


Another Big ups to Shields motors in Shannon for bringing his truck on the ride as back up wagon and then peeling off at fielding to trip back to ashurst and recover the harley, Only the one recovery (a couple of fixable breakdowns) and no offs ! (sorry you missed the ride Willy and Cindy, i hope the Ashurst Hotel crew were up to the challenge of keeping ya amused till your ride got there)

Appologies to the Ashurst mobil, the Lady there was totally unprepared for the amount of bikes we sent to ensure full tanks for the loop (Apiti alley had been closed down so we sent all who were unsure of their range to go gas up)


As Sandra said we made the call at the Feilding BP to ride past Himitangi as time was dragging on and we needed a good hour or so to hand out the spot prizes back at Fatboys and get a final feed of snarlers into everyone before they all went their own ways !
So i detoured into the wines to round up the few that had shot through while we stopped at fielding and the one or two that weren't able to do the full loop for one reason or another !

Another big ups to Wholesale Meats for donating the snarlers for the sausage sizzle and of course the Pearson clan for cooking them all for us !

Left levin on dry roads, via shannon to ashurst, where it was drizzling but only really just starting, through the sealed scenic route to Apiti where it was dry but damp (of course) to arrive at Apiti on dry roads again !
A light shower as we departed Apiti toward Feilding for another Gas stop, then hit a bit of heavier rain from Fielding till just south of Sanson to a still dry Levin !

Pretty sure all who came on the ride went away happy, Know we are with the result, hope our next poker run this summer gets the same sort of turnout lol

Will mention these guys again and thank them, because without them, it would have been just another ride !!!
