    I have changed it the light universe is Ghey because of that very reason

    Another way to read white on white is to roll the cursor over the text, it turns a pretty shade of blue...yes I attended a Rocket Science class

I only say this because by saying that they are available no one then needs to use them. Which is what we all want. Maha, if you want some one to take a group up or down 90 mile beach (depends on the tides for which is best) then I am available for that. Waitiki Landing has been rebuilt and so gas is now available again up there. It's noy cheap gas but definitely beats walking.''
    Nevermind ignore me, I misread the below:

    Saturday : Cape Reinga/Ninety Mile Beach For Those Who Want To.

    And I didn't really understand that the bit Mark Waters posted (from the previous thread?) meant there was gas further North. I have still been getting my head around the Saturday outing, I thought it was rather different to that (as to the path it took). I must need more sleep.

    A few years ago, Waitiki Landing Servo burned down, it has now been rebuilt which means, there is gas 20kms south of the Cape.
    I edited the first post to cease any further confusion...night night

    Woot! leave approved! Time to dig out the swimming trunks... and throw them away! Like I'm going in the water!

    Now... how to carry the beer... Do we have refridgeration on hand? Otherwise it might be more of a whiskey event.

    There is a Wholesalers at Cable Bay, two minutes up the road, no real point in hauling it up from home...
    I have some Talisker Single Malt here (not mine but it's my care) you may a couple of caps on the Thursday night?

    Lol I know, just couldn't be bothered highlighting the white text to read it.
    Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.

    Greetings all

    Would this ride be good leaner experience for a novice like myself, I have only been riding for three weeks but am looking for a long group ride to improve my open road riding.

    Appreciate the feed back
    Cheers

    These rides are for learners/newer riders RD, in saying that, the ride is run in three groups of about 9 bikes. One group is for learners which is headed by myself. There are experienced riders throughout the groups.
    All that I ask is that you ride at the open road speed limit. We had some real new riders last weekend and to be honest, they were exceptional to ride with.

    Someone once about these rides ''But that adds to the fun and strange goings on that make this event somewhat unique.''

    I know your bike can carry lots, but 2 passengers?

    No problem with that, so is there anything I need to do to sign up for the ride, I see it says to book accommodation first so do you phone them and state you will be part of the riding group etc?

    Cheers

    Contact Debbie at the San Marino and tell her you're with the November Bike group and she'll probably put you in unit 1 with the single guys
    Once that is done, let me know and you're on the list good to go..
