Dunno....I'm not that organised.

I'll carry your gas, but it'll cost you a ride.

Been meaning to ring you, but I'm not home, and my phone battery's flat

. How about 9am at my place, or 9.30 at the west end of the Makairo for anyone coming from the south.

Let me know if you need more details.

9:00 AM sounds good....

**Denniso** · 22nd October 2011, 14:37

I could be keen , if I can ignore my chores round here ( no problem , been ignoring them for years ) . Where will it start , will a stock DR tank make it between fuel stops ?

Dannevirke if coming from the north. Should be about 220km ish. Probably need some sort of knobs for the Makairo. Racing slicks may struggle.

**Denniso** · 22nd October 2011, 15:35

Will see how I go in the morning Dannyvegas at 9 could be a problem . Where will ride start ?

**marks** · 22nd October 2011, 16:06

any chance of delaying the start time a little?

If I leave home at 8 I'll get to Pahiatua at about 9.15 where I'll need to gas up and have a quick hot chocolate - so would 10 at the start of the track be ok?

I've got a marginal E07 on the back so Bart and Wade - make sure you limber up those pushing muscles.....

We'll be gassing up at BP, south end of Vegus about 9am. If coming from any other direction, it'll be easier to gas at Pahiatua of Woodville, and head to the Makairo track entrance via the road beside the Mankatainoka brewery (16km to the track). We'll be there by about 9.30.

All welcome. Weather should be awesome.

Leave home at 7.30 then......

OK, we'll take our time. Perhaps we can have a donut competition while we wait for you.

I do want to get home before that game of rugby thing.

Dannevegus BP at 9.15 ish.
