If there is anyone that needs to added to the list, please let me know.

Hi, I'm Rodney and I'd like to be added to the list if that's OK.

I've been riding for a long time but not so much on the open road and am a conservative rider by nature. I can manage 100k though (on the straight bits, anyway) and I've done the odd trip to Rotorua/Tauranga/Taupo.

So still trying to learn (and riding a LAMs approved bike). I'm looking to gain more confidence by doing more riding at open road speeds.

And I've been thinking about buying a tent anyway...

Right, thanks for that, pretty obvious really...one of these days I'll get the hang of this whole internet-thingy.

So maybe we can organise something later on this week...

only if you'd like, I'm always happy to do my own thing, I just need to have a thunk about where to go!

I've been doing quite a few 100-120kish KM country rides up around your neck of the woods (north n west a bit!) if you or anyone else is interested. Gotta get used to being back in the saddle before the trip!

Otherwise, Dairy Flat and coatesville-riverhead roads are good rides up norf n stuff.

Have you got some proper boots yet?

[Maha]

Well, the East cape trip was a bit too much of a slog for me and my bike, but this could be about right! Could I meet up with the ride at Pirongia or Te Kuiti?

Are you still aiming to meet up somewhere? bluninja is meeting us at Te Kuiti.
We are looking to be in Pirongia (Cafe on the left, coffee stop) at around 11:45.
Te Kuiti probably 12:30 (think I told bluninja a later time ) but I have added the times to post #1.

If it pleases, Anne and myself need a bit of bike time, so can we join?

Would be good for me to get an idea of how the NP ride will go ...its 330kms with our longest stint in the saddle being 90kms.
I have an idea of where to go this weekend...a nice spot in parts northern with an 80km ride from the start to lunch.
Thats the same distance of the first leg on the 9th, before a five minute regroup.

So Glowerss/Boss and nerrrd, if ya keen?
