Sorry Guys, won't catch you Friday night - I'll o'night at a friends place at Napier instead. Will be following you thru the Lake Waikaremoana Rd, but likely later in the morning, then on to Mahia.

Yeah, we went through the museum a couple of years ago. Well worth the visit
Will get photos of the hot springs road for you.

We're not going through Waikaremoana; we'll be doing a bit of exploring in the forest near Minginui, then going through the Waipunga and down the Napier Taupo Rd - maybe we'll run into you along the way (figuratively speaking )

I saw Gus heading up SH2 this morning on his way towards the Wairarapa.

I would have liked to do this one but the required planetary alignments didn't happen. I'm keen to do a few camping off the bike weekends.

Organise something central-ish, and we'll see what we can do
Camping-off-the-bike weather is rapidly disappearing though.

You all missed a great weekend
Will be some photos tomorrow

What a great weekend you & Clint had. Fab photo's & a great write up. If I knew you cooked like that Rosie, I would have come just for the meals & with extra wine
I was unsure if I would be riding in the weekend as I was waiting for a replacement tail light. And alas your ride clashed with Ross's Sunday ride.
Apologies.

I'd packed up all the food earlier in the week, while Nic was still deciding whether to come or not, so there would have been enough for three - especially if you'd brought wine
