sounds like I missed an awesome day and today looks like crap so much for occasional rain hasnt bloody stopped since 6am

Great that you all had a good day, was'nt the weather fantastic.
Dukegirl and myself called into the Pram Mobil at 9.00am, a bit to early buy the looks.
Went up to Masterton to look at a bike up there. So we desided to keep heading North, not to waste a good day.
Route was. Dreyers rock, Alfredton,Pongaroa, Wimbleton (for Lunch) Porangahau, Waipukurau. Then back Hatuma Ormondville, Ashurst and home.
Roads were in good nick, no traffic, and worries about the 104klms hr tickets, only trouble with doing that road at this time of year is the SUN, riding into it all day is pretty tough going, and lots of corners wet in the shade.
Hope to catch up with you guys soon, but i do like the longish rides.

Could have been more if we could just work out the difference between a railway Stn and a service Stn.

Apologies to any that we lost and cheers to those that lost themselves and found themselves again

A question for you all - Why is it that the Real Kapiti Riders need a Real Rapa Rider to organise a Kapiti ride??

Your turn next time?

Reckon your on the button Gareth, nothing worse than muttering to yourself and wondering if you chose the wrong deoderant.

Totaly agree Gareth 51, always new it was the Mobil, don't now how the Railway station got into it.

**Quasi** · 6th June 2010, 10:56

I second that, will I manage this route?

And keep your minds out of the gutter

**HappyGOriding** · 6th June 2010, 11:39

ok time for some choices
will it be SH4 up to Raetihi then across to Ohakune or feilds track and whangaehu valley rd
Spooners hill rd is something different for coming into Taihape
And what about turning off at Mangaweka and coming through Rangiwahia or is it Vinegar Hill

Just a couple of options whadda ya reckon

OK, Will need an early start, say 9-30am at the whorehouse carpark coastlands, this will put us on right side of highway to head Nth, cofee at Sanson, on to Anzac Dve and regroup prior to Paraparas, regroup at Ratahi or Raratonga if u get lost or miss a turn of, talk about the return there as it would be time sensitive.
