    'Round the Bend' ride, Sunday 2nd April

    Greetings all,

    I would like to suggest, nay propose a quick spin for next sunday around the manawatu gorge for the lower north island lads and lasses of KB (the best of course).
    Start at around 9am (im open to suggestions, but any later than this is a waste of the day Velox), meeting at BP mana? (if this suits) and travel up sh-1 toward levin, cross over to the 'rapa, then back down and over the tuckas towards the tropical paradise that is stokes vegas to absorb the teachings of our esteemed teacher, Uncle B. Theres a nice cafe to grab a bite at lunch by the manawau gorge. This isnt supposed to be a RACE, keep your eyes peeled for the fuzz while on the main roads and save it for the twisty bits (Skel, this means you).
    Map supplied shows a rough route (in red), but I have a few detours in mind to add a little ''spice'' to the occassion which im not going to mark, just in case any ''undesirables'' should be watching this thread

    Sounds good Vasaline boy.....we'll put on a BBQ for those who want to come round. Will need to know numbers.

    LBTW needs help with that cake. May I join you?
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Sounds like a plan. Count the Kendogs in. (will confirm when the other half has been consulted, but at least one keen kendog!)

    Can't do both at the same time fool. Have to stop or I fall off. Cake or bike.

    Yep, but 9am! That's about 9 hours till it gets dark - we won't be out for nearly that long!!! Argh.

    Hey - who exactly are you trying to tell that it's not a race? You'd be one of the most likely ones to boot it so what a loada! Sorry - had to fight against the pc-ness.


    Yay, bbq at Uncle B's! Is the Stokes Valley supermarket open at night on a Sun?
