Was a great pootle to/from the Oko yesterday with loads of bikes over the hill. Mostly cruisers. We ended up back at Drivers (good run up the Kaimai's Peta). Donna and Chris have decided to get a bit of a life and they are now not opening on Sundays. Funny enough they were really busy yesterday.
And Bayride are showing the first round of the GP at Drivers tonight at 7.30pm for anyone who hasnt seen it yet.

Does anyone know whether there's a Tga Easter Egg / Toy run this year, and when?

Shite that's a bit closer than I thought ... This bloody weekend!

My bike's at Bay City being looked at at the mo, let's hope they tell me what it needs doing and then do it by the weekend. Don't rate my chances

Unfortunately I have a birthday to attend on sunday so cant make the toy run.

Shame, cos I quite enjoy it.

**Ralph** · 11th March 2008, 16:31

I might make it this year, anyone else going to this years event?
A few went last year I believe and sounded like fun.

**mark247** · 11th March 2008, 16:34

Yea i should be going if nothing better pops up.

**Unit:Me** · 11th March 2008, 16:56

Not too major but the have resealed turns 14 and 15 going down (common guys, you all know this road), thats right down the other side. No road markings today and they have put that nice smooth really black stuff like at the round abouts in town. Not much of a bump where it joins the old seal.
Just a wee heads up there may be more, I'll report again in Thursday

Thanks for the news Unit, It sound like a good improvment.
