Is the weather on our side or not?

Sorry, just finished watching Apollo 13

But the forecast still stands. I'm even predicting a drop in the wind. Maybe even an eery calm

Lars is wanting ALL BIKES from between SANSON and WELLINGTON to meet at SANSON

Chanceyy, have updated first post with Levin details, is what is outlined what you were expecting to happen?

Thanks,

Hanne

Hanne,
Has anyone advised Police of change of plans?

I have two officers meeting us at mckays crossing going to Papakowhai to meet up with what was to be main group and two more officers. These 4 guys have been tasked to provide escort right through to the stadium.

I have 13 of us here at the motel and also 2 recovery vehicles for tomorrow morning. None want to go back to levin. We will stay with our original plan and join onto back of main group as they go through. Recovery vehicle will act as TEC's.

No worries Wingrider, the main meeting points still stand as in the first post so tag on at Papakowhai as we spoke about on the phone.

(Thunder) (x10)
I was caught
In the middle of a railroad track (Thunder)
I looked 'round,
And I knew there was no turning back (Thunder)
My mind raced
And I thought what could I do? (Thunder)
And I knew
There was no help, no help from you (Thunder)
Sound of the drums
Beatin' in my heart
The thunder of guns!
Tore me apart
You've been - thunderstruck!

Rode down the highway
Broke the limit, we hit the ton
Went through to Welly, yeah Welly
And we had some fun!!!

Sorry guys, ti=unes stuck in my head now
See ya all tomorrow
