7th Capital 1,000 Km Cruise

**KoroJ** · 3rd October 2013, 13:06

I had a wee problem whereby my Capital Cruiser Distribution List disappeared from my PC. I’ve created a new one so if you didn’t get an email today, let me know and I’ll put you back on the list.

With the countdown approaching 5 weeks, we currently have 22 paid up registered riders (includes 1 hardy pillion)…and if the other 12 that have indicated interest make a decision and pay up, we will have 33. This note is a reminder that although we have 5 weeks to go, I need to order the Badge Year Bars on 20/10/13, so you really only have two weeks to ensure a badge.

One other problem I still have is:
I received a payment with a name and rego on the bank statement …but I don’t have an email address or any other details? If you're a first timer and have registered, but haven't received any confirmation, you won’t be on the email list and therefore won’t be getting email updates or the Briefing and Ride Instructions before the day of the ride.

Ready to rock. Palmy dudes/dudessuses (sp?), where we be launching from?

BP Rangitikei?

...and...

do we have to do western lake? I'd be quite partial to nipping across to Kihikihi then down SH3 through Otorohanga and Te Kuiti and onto SH4 all the way to Raetihi

(only adds 20km or so and it's more fun than western lake IMO)

Roll up...Roll up.....Get your C1KC Regos in this week folks!

It's 3 weeks to go but I have to order the year bars on Monday, so if you're still thinking about it and want a badge, get your name in and put your money down.

We currently have 52 paid up and another half doz sitting....so looking at about 60 now.

Best numbers yet John?

This sounded like a lot of fun. Until I looked at how far I usually ride and what my average speed usually is approximately.

No, actually still sounds like a lot of fun, but the brain wins. Would hate to arrive hours after everybody has left the pub

Maybe in a few years, when me and my bike have gotten faster

You can do eet!

SweetP did the first one on her FXR150 and had only been riding for about 5 months at the time. You only have to ride within the allowable limits ....and not get lost.

Was off sick today and got a bit bored so thought i'd have a go at plotting out the course route and working out the best places to refuel my bike (Turangi, Putaruru & Raetihi)

I have a Mapsource file for any Palmy riders that might want a copy...

**KoroJ** · 5th November 2013, 21:24

Yeah, I've got one of those MapSourcey thingys.

Tapes are cut, certificates printed, badges and bars packed, prizes obtained, corduras cleaned....I just need to check the tyres and fill the tank and I'm pretty much ready to go.
Oh, and I guess I better check the weather forecast. It would be nice to have a dry run.
