Sounds good, c u there

Tried to video it but the battery was flat

So it didn't really happen then?

[tri boy]

Three weekends to go, so I thought I better kick this thread along a bit.
Me n Kanny have been doing a bit of route riding and discussing alternatives,and things are falling into place.
This Saturday, I plan on doing a slow timed ride, maybe with another BRP rider
Those who havn't secured a bed for either the fri, sat nights, please post so, so that required beds are known. (looks like we should have enough).

The Saturday ride will probably head nth taking in Nikau Caves cafe as a refresher, and continue nth further.
Pt Waikato might or might not be doable for a round trip, most important is the slower/less agressive riders enjoy their Saturday.
No good freaking people out with large miles, and few stops.

Sunday will be more around the Raglan area, allowing for a cruisy start to the day, and exit stratergies kept simple.
So thats about it for now.

Those who can't make the ride, please remove your name from the calendar, and or PM me.

Will somebody in the Naki make sure Colin is fit and well, and has heavy duty trainer wheels fitted to the Bimmer

Stu,you gunna pop in for a cameo brekky Sat or Sun?
Brekky in Rags, and good coffee at Nikau sounds like prime grouch fodder.
Even the Kaboom probably would like it's reins unteethered.
You could even tell the Ed about slippery creek(part of Sundays pootle)

I'm up for a skid

Kopua camp ground called me today, to confirm the two kitchen cabins I booked.
Each cabin sleeps four people, and linen is available at a small surcharge if hauling a sleeping bag is a hassle.

Per person, it equates to $30/per night.
Not including linen, (probably an extre fiver.

So far, beds in my cabins are reserved for:
Kanny
Nic
tri boy




That leaves 5 beds available.
Has anybody not secured a bed? Please post/PM me if so.
If there are no further takers for one, I'll let the camp know that the other cabin will not be needed. I'll do this on Fri morning 19th Nov. (this week).
There will be fannies chance of securing any bed in Raglan very soon, as the place is ballistic in Dec.
