Forgotten Highway ride 23 May 2010

**cowboyz** · 25th April 2010, 22:46

About time a decent ride got out and about and forgotten highway is just begging to be done. Mrs c and I will be out and about this week in may and on the Sunday will be doing the forgotten highway.

Meet in Taumaranui at 11am and heading west to stratford.

Being 2up speeds will be more repectably towards the nearer spectrum of the limits imposed by law and being Mrs C's first run through FH will probably stop for plenty of photos.

Who wants to supervise us?

There's some beaut gravel roads out that way too.

**cowboyz** · 25th April 2010, 22:53

i bet there are.. but being allergic to gravel ill stick to the main route and close my eyes for the 14km of hard packed gravel that has to be ridden
