I'll be riding from glen eden and will be aiming to get there on time... but if I'm late where is the route taking us for me to catch up?

OT but we have the "blowers" in now drying the carpet... and temporary plywood flooring before the centre of the house is ripped out and replaced! Its another excuse to definitely attend this ride!

Just hope the rest of the 'better roads' are free from it.

I got no problem with a gravel ride... throw in some forestry stuff for fun

Looks like I am going to miss the ride.
Have to stay home and wash my hair.

Thinly veiled humor - I'm guessing we'll see you tomorrow then

I have been elected to survey a young woman's derriere at Tahora, tomorrow. - Make sure she has been looking after it for the last year.

Decisions, decisions.

If the weather's good we'll head north to Opononi. If the weather's shite we won't.

Time: Leave 8:30 return whenever
Route: via the twisties - direction to be decided
Gathering point: Caltex Dairy Flat (same place as the Auckland regular sunday ride north)
Who: anyone comfortable at sustained highway speeds, doesn't fall off on corners, can do 200kms between stops and happy to ride 600 odd kms in a day.

If you actually state you'll be attending then we'll be more likely to wait for you if you are running late, if you don't then we won't.

Like most rides there will be different levels of riders some fast some not (I'm not) just find your spot in the group and enjoy the day.
