sauturday has a big sun hanging over the Rapa - anyone keen on a ferry run for Lunch or too far out of the way for the Coastal marauders? Could meet top of the hill 11am which means you dont need to be out of bed too early. If ferry too far, could do Marty for coffee or lunch or turn right after Greytown, nice wee back road along the tararuas, go to Carterton for coffee/lunch

Looks like I wont be able to go for a blat with Stig ( it's NOT a date right????

)

So i'd be in to try and sneak away for a few hours on Saturday. Can't do a long ride, no more than 3 hours max as I have a gig that night and my lovely chap driving down to stay for the weekend. No promises but I could give it my best shot...
Not a local so only vaguely know the existance of the places you are talking about.

I definately been keen for either, probably ferry would be better. I can do Saturday or Monday.

Hiyah Faith- lets see how the others are placed but Saturday looking like THE day to ride

. If we do the Ferry we could almost get you home in 3 hours and its a lovely ride. and you could bring your lovely man with you so we can assess him for you

Bugga! Enjoy the ride folks, Jealous much!

You should do it on Sunday then because you need to let it all dry out, take it from me I'm a landscaper!

I completely agree, but its just much easier that way to bow down and just get it out of the way

Unfortunatly Lovely Man is a complete bikaphobe. If he knows Im out on one of the bikes, he texts me all the time to make sure I have not offed along the way.
Bless him, he thinks Im great, but has lived quite a different life to me and bikes are waaaaaaaaaaaaay outside of his experience. Not to worry, I'll let him know tonight that he will be flying solo here for a while on Saturday.

True, you have to pick your battles and sometimes the best option is just to appease!

Oh damm Katie - now that means half the guys wont come either

. The thrill of watching your wee butt on that great machine was always gonna be a big drawcard

Ah well - if the weather up to it, I will be happy to ride again on Sunday if you get leave pass then
