[KoroJ]

only two more sleeps to go, bikes all checked bag packed cant wait, see you there

yeah... got plenty of time to pack on saturday eh!!!

Pack what exactly?....it's a day ride! Do you guys not always carry your footpump, 1st Aid Kit, hat, sunnies, camera, water & nut bars, rags, tape & bungys in the top-box?.....or are you expecting to break down and might need to sleep over somewhere?

More riders on and off.....More prizes received from Bryce at Buckets 'n Bits......More feedback received on my dodgy instructions....

...I can assure you all...If you find yourself on a gravel road (other than on the Para's), you've taken a wrong turn or missed a turn.

Make it a great day!

[WuZards-Eugene]

its looking like a great day tomorrow, so there should be a good turn out.

Is Seafund Rd sealed?

That is after Te Kawa and on the way to Wharepapa South. My map shows it to be unsealed but it may be out of date.
