Wgtn-Taupo Sat Dec 17th - The Long Way

**skelstar** · 9th December 2005, 08:31

Hey All...MoFunthanmost and I are planning to ride up to Taupo on the Saturday (17th Dec) and take the slightly longer route...make a day of it.

This is a ride to attend the Kiwibiker Trackday

Suggested routes are either:
1. Wgtn-Bulls-Wangavegas-Paraparas-Raetihi-Taumaranui(ish)-Western Lake Taupo-Taupo.
2. Wgtn-OngaOnga-Hastings-Napier-Taupo

All speeds catered for. I cruise at around $1.00+GST, any faster will just have to wait every once in a while

.

Sounds good MSTRS...well give you a yell if we decide to head your way. Thanks.

Cowp - thats cool. My mother is the same...not fun for her huh? I have a family that I wanna catch up with in Hastings so depending on numbers (one or two extra) they could just hang with me...theyll just have to deal with boistrous kids
