Seems more expensive when you have to buy so much in one go doesn't it!

When I fill the KLX it seems cheap cos I can only put 7L or so in it, but when I get home and see the number of gas receipts I go "DOH!".

I still claim I was unjustly accused and the snoring was all Plug's fault!

I expect I will be there, it is an early start tho.
I'll confirm closer to the date.
When you say dificult track, do you mean dirt with ruts and stones and things?
I'll be riding a '77 BMW R60/6.

Cheers
Neale

Most of the ride will be reasonably fast gravel. If your old beasty can comfortably handle gravel roads, you'll be fine.

Takapari Road is the exception. This is a bit more steep and rocky (no ruts as such), but it's the kind of road that gets gradually worse as you go, so gives plenty of opportunity to turn back. This road is a dead end, so we will be in and back.

Hope you can make it Neale.

Cool, I'll give it a shot

OK, after a bit of feedback, perhaps the start time is a bit early for those coming from further away.

Any suggestions?

The original idea was to get away as early as possible, so the day wouldn't be rushed. What works for you guys?

Well you 'Rapa guys had an early start to make it down to us for the SCAR for 9/9.30am meetup so guess we should really return the favour and get OUR butts out of bed early this time! Saturday looks like a fairly long day from the route plan. If its a couple hours-ish up to Woodville start from Welly I'm happy to hit the road 7/7.30am for 9/9.30 meet but whatever we need to do really Bart - I'll go with the flow mate! And we'll drag Joe outta bed in Masterton on the way up!!
