Is there going to be a rally this time? Not that it matters to us as we'll be in Te Puke at this time.

No rally, but BBQ facilities and shelter will be provided.

Bump - not a lot of chit chat in here .

Facebook is generating a lot of interest though.

John Blaymires and Charley Bilby will be riding their Guzzi Sidecar up the hillclimb, that'll bring a few Guzzi freaks out of the woodwork, best stock up on light beer for them...

That's great news. I was talking to one of them after Wangas and they were keen to give it a crack.

The Committee has asked me to relay to everyone to please not practice the hill climb at speed. No problem with doing some sighting runs at the legal speed limit but there have been a few comments made by local residents again this year. There is even talk about the possible use of a mobile speed camera if it continues. We need the cooperation of the locals to be able to have this event - please pass this mesage on.

You going to be there Jelly Bum?

A formal complaint has been lodged with Police regarding riders practicing/speeding up the hill climb road. We really don't need this attention and the event could suffer because if it.

Please pass this on to anyone you know who rides up that way, especially if they are one of the culprits.

Anyone able to assist with marshalling on Saturday 10th March ?

Please PM me.

I have put my entry in, looking forward to giving this another go. This is a unique event which we are very lucky to have - 6.1km of motorcyling heaven. Talk on here about it seems to be be a bit quiet for some reason - where is all the smack talk we used to get around this in previous years?
