Yep, all that mostly matters is the road names other side of Waikaremoana. The corner man system works great in forestry part.
An easy ride really apart from the icey bits and riding into the rising sun, hopefully better being bit later in year this time.
And once in twisty forest before Minginui be aware of redneck hillybillies coming the other way in 4WD to go hunting...

No longer attending. Cancelled bed at Rangitaike lodge and Matawai Pub maybe available.
Bugger! Weather forecast still looking ok too. Maybe the odd snow flurry on the way over the Waipunga this arvo
I think the double room Rhonnda had booked is still free too, so anybody who wants to upgrade to a room at the pub in Matawai give Essie a call on 06 862 4874.
I'll be off the grid from 3pm today so anybody wanting to get in touch leave a message at the Rangitaiki Tavern, 07 384 2803.
Cheers
Clint

Bummer I'm Sick as a dog so I,m out and 2 others in our group have dropped out so we where 4 now 1 coming Bob .
So there is 3 spare beds at the Motu community house if any body needs them just ring I have cancelled.
Have fun Guys
All these people dropping out because of weather
Anyone would think it was winter or something
Wish I could be there this year, just got the final clearance from the surgeon this morning.
So now I just need to build up some strength in my arm and shoulder, pretty weak after 8 months of non use.
Almost convinced myself a few days ago that I could do it, but 1000 kms after not riding for so long might be a bit much.
Look forward to the photos
Here for a good time, not necessarily a long time
I think it wont be that bad...
Forecast over night low of 4deg for napier and 3 for Taupo so that's not too bad compared to what can be, might be some early rain that will warm things up...

Hi Clint, Rosie & fellow MMMMMers, sorry I missed you guys yesterday. The weather was dismal on Fri (strong winds & v v cold). Decided to do my one day MMM (LOL) today. Heard from the lovely ladies at Waikaremoana Store you had 21 riders (brave souls). . . . awesome.
There were plenty of pies today to choose from today.Great gravel on Wahia Rd to Raupunga & fast riding around the Lake. V little traffic. Looking forward to hearing about your weekend
. . & seeing pics.
Hi, just a couple od quick clips from the MMM, couldnt up load them directly to Kb as there tooo big.
So posted them on YouTube, nothing fancy, quality on YT is poor
