Well last year it was December the 11th. I remember that fateful day well.
Its run by the Woodville Lions if that helps any

[Slingshot]

It's normally the second weekend of December, we'll be going again this year.

Garry H, what was fateful about it last year?

Just a slightly second hand bike and broken arm. Not on the ride itself but the ride home afterwards.

[Slingshot]

Oh bugger.

Hopefully you'll have better luck next time.

Thanks guys Maybe they havent set a date yet. I went last year but want to stay for the feed and a few beers afterwards. Accomodation is pretty tight though. Cheers Gonzo

Seeing I'm the first South Islander to post, I take it this ride's somewhere on the North Island. Right?

Also I've never heard of those beach names and they do sound North Islandish.

Yeah - starts kind of near Levin and crosses through all the wind turbines near Palmy.

Last year was awesome - I'd def be keen again this year too.

Didn't realise you were there last year.

The feed is great...normally a BBQ cookup with crayfish for around $10.

We've been the last couple of years, the first year we tented and the second we rented a house, got the house booked again this year too.

Woah - I didn't realise there was crayfish there!!! I didn't stay the night maybe that's why we didn't bump into each other. (You and me I mean rather than me and the crayfish.) I came with StoneChucker and VTWIN.

I remember seeing SC at the last gas stop outside that pub.

We should get a KBer crew there this year and party till the wee small hours. Not only do they put on a good feed but the booze is cheap and they pull out the karaoke later in the night.

...and they pull out the karaoke later in the night.

*shudder* thinks twice about staying...
