    I have been advised that the Urenui pumps need extra care, the floor is not flat like most gas stations.
    Reportedly more than one bike has been dropped because the rider put a foot down and found nothing but air.

    Correct my mate, round the back of the pumps close to the shop is the way to go, mind you it ain't the cheapest fuel in the naki anyway so you may want to fill up beforehand.

    She's got to have the op unfortunately but hopefully no chemo or radio. Would love to come and play at your house and thanks for the offer but it will have to be another time sweetness. I especially wanted to come and cheer the angels on but it is what it is, better times are coming.

    It is starting to get really exciting. I am at menu planning now. What food we want to eat, what food I need here for the guests, what food to eat on the Sunday when I will no doubt be shattered.

    Hugs you two!

    It will be.

    I got told today I was only to walk one lap if you please, something about just coming out of a moon boot after 5 months with a broken ankle. I think he meant to say one lap an hour or something like that. A bit pissed off I cant really get stuck in, but hey, you do what you can.

    Much love to The Bride for a sucessful outcome. You will be in my thoughts

    Cancer Relay Threads going to print

    Greetings all.

    I will be printing all the Cancer Relay threads this Thursday 2nd March. They will then be all bound together into one book of sorts. I'll take it down to Wellington on Friday and it'll go into the baton for it's journey up the country. It'll then be presented along with the other bits and pieces.

    The reason I am telling you all this comes to you in two parts:

    1) It mightn't be a bad idea to go through any posts you've made and edit or remove anything you don't want to be permanently recorded. I can't think of anything that actually needs changing, but that's up to you. All that we ask is that you don't go crazy and end up changing the past, so to speak, and ruining the flow of the thing.

    2) Please feel free to add any further personal messages of support.

    Once again, anything that's still in here on Thursday will go to print, and obviously the opposite is true of anything not added to the thread by then. See most of you Saturday.

    Excellent stuff Methane, thanks.

    FINAL CALL TO ALL THOSE THAT KNOW TONY AND ALL THOSE THAT HATE THE HAVOC CANCER WREAKS ON OUR LOVED ONES, COME ON DOWN AND RIDE WITH US!

    Well the forecast for Saturday is rain across the entire north Island. Disappointing news but as I've always said, I would walk from Taranaki to Auckland for Tony if it

    would do any good, so the ride is still on, the reasons are still as valid, just dig out your waterproof gear and come riding for Tony and help to kick Cancer in the nads.

    Tony:

    You have been an inspiration to me, your dignity and spirit in the face of adversity has been a lesson I shall carry through life. You will never

    appreciate how much your friendship and little messages of approval and support have meant to me over the years. It's not easy upping sticks and moving half way

    around the world to start a new life, You and people like you with your warm sensitive welcoming cheeky nature have been instrumental in our decision to stay here in

    Godzone. If this Country can produce genuine good bastards like you then it's a place and a people I'm happy to be part of.

    Take care my friend, enjoy the rest of your journey.

    Your friend always, Mart
