I will arrange lots of rain, snow, wind, fog, etc etc just to test your willpower to finish.

What can I say it is what I do best.

RideSafe see you in Turangi.

The trouble with having 2 skirts for "Roxanne" now is have to decide which "skirt" to put on her. Gone for a black "dress" and the white "top" on her for the GC. New McD "Rider" seat has arrived. Looking sweet

Better get packing for tomorrow

**Hitcher** · 13th October 2005, 20:01

Packing, packing, packing... Woo hoo!

**Holy Roller** · 13th October 2005, 20:47

Packed, off to Taupo tomorrow. Pick up the PRS radio and headset from Pinfolds on the way through Rotorua, select channel 20 for all the classic hits and no commercials all night long

Thanks Waylander. Happy Birthday as well mate

Hope you will be able to do the GC next year.

"Roxanne" played the "Honda Kill Switch" joke on me this morning, and I fell for it big time. Had the spark plugs out and all

Flicked the kill switch and away she went

Heading to Whangarei now to change tyres, and then it's off to Turangi.

See the rest of you nutters there:spudwave:

Readers Digest Ride Report !!

Great outing, 106 enteries. Yours truely, first timer, managed a respectable finish.
Weather was kind with only a light shower or two so made for quick times tho plenty of greasy road.
Had all the cool bits in it, Napier Taupo in the dark, Waioweka Gorge, Low cloud on the desert road, and some goat track, "Fields Track" south off SH49 Waiouru > West. Lee has excelled in a very enjoyable endurance ride once again. Excellently organised, tho Lee wishes it had rained the whole way!
Fortunately for us all that didnt come true this year.
I think the quickest group made it in in not much more than 17 hours, me was 17:45ish.
But it is all about completing it in one piece & thanks to the sterling efforts of Lee's and his team its all a big

from me

Bloody well done mate and sincere congrats on completing it. You have every reason to feel proud. Sleep well (snigger). Hope you hands and butt are ok in the morning!
