Wellington Ride to Waikato Rally

[White trash]

Hmmmmm an hour head start..........

I wonder if I can run Deano down in that time.

[Paul in NZ]

Ok - here's another plan for riding up.
Me, crazylittleshit, Deano, VaselineWarrior (who's not coming for the rally, just the ride) and maybe a couple of others are going to leave Te Horo at about 2pm. I figure there's no point leaving any earlier if kick off's at 5ish. We're just heading up SH1 and over the Paraparas.
Let me know if anyone else's keen and we'll meet up. Hitcher and co, are you guys going that way?
Alternatively, we could meet others that are going to be doing the Paraparas at that cafe/shearer's pub/garden bar place on the Wanganui side.

Well..... depending upon the weather and such we should be leaving our place 10:30 to 11:30... Ambling in a civilised fashion (as befits a man of my age and disposition) via some delectable luncheon establishment and arriving once the coarse northerners have prepared the quarters, turned down our beds and rolled out the red carpet...

Ah hem...

$20 on the jade with 15min to spare.

You're on. But Deanos gotta be riding it.....

[Uncle B]

You're on. But Deanos gotta be riding it.....

If you can arrange it I'll be there with a TVNZ crew......and make it 50 bucks.

I guess I could cope with the VTR. Only one way though.

WT - that's a 2 hour head start isn't it? Te Horo's about an hour from town.


Paul - we could meet you at Avoca - the pub/cafe thing just before the Paraparas at about 3.30ish (if you're going that way). It's real nice and it's the one that a few of us stopped at last time (with the unlucky corgi).

Which reminds me - Bungbung, are you riding up with either of the groups?

The corgi hopes not!

[badlieutenant]

good call mrmelon. Last i heard this was to be a corgi free rally. That sort of thing really should be left at home. (bring your camera jazbug, just in case the courts need more evidence)

[jazbug5]

Will do.

And now that The Beastly has been restored to her *ahem* 'former glory' by WT and Hayden (where is the 'worship' smiley?), I shall be riding up too. It would be fair to say at a 'sedate pace'.
Or at least the speed limit.
Anyone planning on being vaguely sensible and/or building in stops where I can catch up?
Takers?
(I'll bring lollies...)

Can't speak for Mr Hitcher and Jane but we gemerally trundle along at around 110 (except for bendy bits) and are known to brake sharply for coffee.

Well I suppose I'd better join the group visiting the corgi then.

[Hitcher]

we could meet you at Avoca

At Upper Kangaroo. A most pleasant spot indeed.

Ditto. Although when the geriatric eyesight notes the absence of constabulary, trundling rates may escalate somewhat.

Ok - another change of plan. This is the final one (unless the weather's crap)....
We're now going to Manfeild in the morning so anyone that wants to leave Manfeild by 2pm can meet us there instead (and check out some racing)! Or else I can let people know when we're leaving Te Horo from Manfeild.
If anyone wants to try and get hold of me and work out what on earth is going on, ask StoneChucker for my cell number (I won't have internet access after 3pmish today). Sorry SC - I didn't want to post it.
Deano - I'll flick you a text to see if you want to meet us in Te Horo beforehand or at Manfield.
Bungbung - Can you text me (I've pmed you my number) to say where you want to meet us too?
SC and VTwin - let me know if you guys are meeting us so we don't hoon off without you.
Yay! See you all up there!

[Velox]

Leaving Te Horo (on SH1) at 10.30am for Manfeild.
Over and out.
