Hawke's Bay Ride Outs - is anyone there?

Yeah, How come you guys got so dusty

I think it was around 320 kms by the time we got back to Waipukurau. Great effort on the road bike, especially on the Doc access rd. Ive never struck shingle roads that were so skittery, normally the wheel tracks are well defined but it made for some interesting cornering. Great weather and a great bunch of people, thanks everyone for coming along.

Cheers for organising the ride Ross. Just the right mix of gravel and black stuff. The cannons and things were awesome.

I got mega photos. It'll take me a couple of days to sort them out.

Thanks for organising such an intriguing ride Ross, went to all the places I've been meaning to go to for a long time. Time for a new thread, best dustmasks for adventure riding

You make a good leader and communicate well to the group about whats happening.

Nice pics and vid marty.

I think I cleaned cup of dust out of my eyes when I got home even after having my visor down and wearing sunnies

! I might have to organise the next ride

The video stuff is easy once you get the hang of it...If I can manage it anyone can! I was hacked off the video I took of the cannon disapeared for some reason so will have to see if someone else got some shots (mind the pun) of it. Wasn't it an awsome ride though!

Go the AB's this morning!!

Download one of the data recovery tools from somewhere like download.com Even if you deleted by mistake when viewing in-camera it's often still there untill you take more pics again, worth a try. Some of the memory card manufacturers often have free tools for this to download on their sites.

Few pics from yesterday, trebuchet action and couple bike shots, just quick snaps on compact.

Great ride Ross with an interesting lunch stop - nice to have a beer and feed afterwards before heading home to clean the dust from everywhere including my eyes, could be an interesting factor at the Dusty Butt !!! great to meet new faces.

Yes - many thanks Ross for the well organised run..........tour.........
Was a cracker day and well enjoyed !!!!
Good to meet a few faces etc......
Good old Boys museum and extravaganza was hardcase......
We ( Victor GS1150 and me ) hit a bit of rain just on Salisbury Road where we
started from on the way home so all in all good timing...........
Wasnt enough to clean the jacket tho !
I must admit it took a few glasses of the red stuff to get rid of old man dust !
Talk about fly by wire stuff - couldnt see zip xcept the dust spewing from that
little DRs back wheel along Te Awa Rd - never mind the rest strung out somewhere
towards the front..............
Graham ( aka the Roadie Kid ) did bloody well haha ! - no flys on him !

Told Victor to take the craft knife to his tyres for more grip

Look forward to the next one
