Hi Betch, it will probably be around 10am when we get to the Minginui turnoff. If you don't see anybody there just carry on to Waikaremoana. After Minginui everyone just does their own pace following the gps or routesheet so the group spreads out.

Just attached the routesheet pdf to the 1st post.

Cheers
Clint

New front and rear boots on the bike, brand new WOF and all good to go

Long range weather forecast is looking okay.

Well it seems that some Naki boys are not as hard as legend would have it.
You take your mates on one little trail ride and nek minitt! Your Colin no mates!
One gets a trip to Taupo Hospital in an Ambulance, and the other isn't back at work yet (something about old age and bad backs).
Upshot of this is there are two spare beds at Rangatikei Lodge and also at Matawai Hotel.
Bad news is you have to share the room with me (I snore, fart and am somewhat opinionated, I do not however scratch my balls. Although I could if I wanted to)
Good news is, I don't care

Ring direct to the Lodge and the pub, first in gets the beds.

See ya Friday

Rhys what were you riding on this adventure?
Seems me and Ratbag might be missing out on a very good ride.
I shall keep mine eyes peeled next year.

Mark, I have a 1978 R80/7 which has been sorted out for gravel road riding. It is the one I took to South Island earlier in the year and did many of the back roads with it. Happily I was not tempted to take the R80RT 'cos it would look a bit sorry after the roads that Clint took us on.

Might have to re name it the Midwinter Mildness Ride

Thanks to all those who came along, great to see some regulars back for more plus a few new faces too.

Was a good weekend. The Kaiangaroa & Motu sections were a bit rougher than usual in places which added some interest. Some great hospitality at Rangitaiki & Matawai. A couple of broke down KTMs & a couple of fallen over BMWs were the only issues.

Cheers
Clint

Excellent weekend once again thanks Clint & Rosie.

Clint you will be pleased to know that I did get rained on for the last 5 minutes before arriving back at your place, so your promise of 100% chance of rain was lived up to.
