12th Thurs Jan - Auckland to Wellington (Travel buddy / Bed in Wellington)

[James Deuce]

It's impossible for me to start a sentence with a lowercase letter, or to type "Zapf & skelstar" at the start of a sentence. "Z" comes after "s" in the alphabet and it doesn't feel right to precede a noun beginning with "s" with one beginning with "Z". My hands are dirty. I have to wash them.

and it would be great to meet you Zapf - I think.

I hope too

We meet at Mungaraki carpark, its at the bottom of Dowse Drive ( the street off the motorway up to Mungaraki).

heres a link to a map on wises, its pretty much where that blue circle in the middle of the map is. (zoom out to get a better view.)

ok... as I am coming down SH1 I'll take SH58 at the Golden Gate across to SH2 then... would I be expecting heavy traffic around 5 o'clock?

if you see a black CB900 Hornet with pannier / seat bags and all looking lost and confused on Western Hutt Road do stop by

Zapf. 5pm is early for our ride (6pm-ish start). Is it better to meet you in Johnsonville (on the way into welly) around then, then my place to dump your gear?

[Zapf]

Skelstar,
just hoping to get there in good time thats all... would arrive 5ish...

might end up staying at Velox's as we are catching the 7:45am ferry the next morning. Work better for logistics point of view

Would catch up with you over the ride and feed thou

Sounds good. Send us a txt when youre somewhere near welly. I might go home and feed cats around 4:30pm, then find ya if ya like.

[Slingshot]

Skelstar, Zapf - ask yourselves - did you need to quote the previous post?

A night out on Thursday sounds like a great idea, and it would be great to meet you Zapf - I think.

That's a nice horse you've got there Jim.

Well if you're getting in at 5ish then you could just come straight through to Karori and you can dump your stuff at my place and then we'll head straight back out to the ride. See how time's going and what you're up to then flick me a text eh?
