    Where can we meet for the Waikato boys?

    Will you rendezvous at Tuakau bridge again if we are going round those same or similar roads?
    Cheers

    Tuakau bridge is on the cards...I haven't really sorted the route yet but I am planning, Autobahn, Tuakau bridge, Onewhero, Waimarama, Ponganui road, Nikau caves, Richardsno road, Dixon road, Waimai valley,then either Raglan north head or straight to Raglan.
    This bit is where we decide whether or not Kawhia is on the cards...so its either back north to port waikato via the coast or south around Mount Kario to Kawhia.
    Return route again is a bit time and weather dependant, either up the coast or SH22.

    Looks like thats the route sorted then. Where's me Zumo?

    Uh - last Sunday it was (still) attached to the Katooms' handlebars. Would be a good place to start looking

    Jokes aside - route looks acceptable

    later

    Thats a bloody long day.
    Last time I looked Waimarama was in the middle of the South Island and popular with gliding fans.
    There is a little place called Wairamarama out past Wunfero.............
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    I'll be able to give him a run for his money, if I can actually make it to one of these. I too have bought a supertanker.

    It's just not acceptable you know!
    If I can take 2 months to go and play in Oz with just a snotty old DR, you should be able to afford a single Sunday to come and play with a nice shiny Beemer.
    It's not bloody good enough!
    (The GS is just fine though)

    Work? Work? What is this work you speak of?
    Crisis seems to manage quite well without it! Perhaps he could give you some lessons.
