North Auckland ride, 21.11.09

I thought Chris wasn't actually going to be part of the ride - I understood that he was going to do his own ride about 10 m behind us? But nice of you to include him - I reckon we might as well invite him along. May want to make him sign a disclaimer though?

This disclaimer better give me a full refund if the weather turns out to be shite

Naah - Wx will be good tomorrow. We deserve a weekend without scrappy stuff around for a change, dontcha think? Have now gotten the boat ready 2 Saturdays in a row, just to wake up to rain & wind on Sunday morning & put it straight back in the shed, so this weekend has to turn out good

Yup, weather looks good........ish, I've just got to stuff a route of some sort into the GPS tonight and I'm ready. Lets hope it's not too dusty.

Sorry, I can not make this tomorrow as my dad has had a bit of a turn and I'm hanging around here rather than wandering around the countryside.

PM sent to Chris & Johanne.

That is a shame, hope your Dad is ok.

I think that this is not such a bad cancellation, as with the tides being the way they are, it might be best to do it when the tides are a timed better.

Johann, are you still keen to do a ride? I was thinking of doing a mini version of this one and just do the south head of the Kaipara Harbour. Could stick with the meet at Riverhead at about 8:30, or Hellensville at 9am, duck onto the beach at Rimmers Road up to the top then back down and out via Wilsons road, will be a quickie as the tides are on the way in at this stage (low tide is 7:45am, high at 2pm), but I reckon we could do that and be home in time for lunch, which works better with the rest of my saturday plans than the full trip we had planned.

Keen?
