    Well, if you were two weeks later we'd be in.
    We're doing the Cape anti-clockwise from the 10th.

    Yeah it doesn't help when there is several things goin on @ once. There's the Northern Exposure Tour and the Woodstock Rally as well as the one you guys are organising.......... I'm sure half these buggers sit behind their computers all day and don't get any 'actual road time'...........

    I totally agree Qkchk, the amount of ppl that are on this site daily compared to the ppl who accually go out there and ride are negligable. Its one thing talking the talk.....its all together a different thing to walk the walk.....or in our case...ride the ride......lol

    One reason is that most rides are on Saturdays which isn't the most convienient for some of us.

    Again I have to agree, Saturday rides are somewhat difficult for us as well with family obligations comming first. Sundays are however always a go...

    LOL...I like that-bling!
    Looking forward to when we can orchastrate(sp) a ride with y'all. Booked for the long weekend but maybe hook up for Paeroa. We're coming down the day before and would be much better to cruise with others down there.
    Enjoy your trip guys

    I most assuredly second that opinion, she'd put many a male here to shame!

    So glad you all had a great weekend away, and back home safe 'n sound!!
