Ride around NZ - Charity event - Feb 07

[ynot slow]

well done carissa,you can take the L plate off by my reckoning,the mileage you've done the last few weeks as well as prior to leaving means you probably have more miles than most other with L plates,no learner now,enjoy the rest when you get home as well as support crew,fantastic effort.

THE FINAL LEG

Can you give me the name of the street and how to find it in Masterton for the return trip? Thanks Janet

Dave Anderson Suzuki
Queen St
Masterton
meeting time 9.30 -10.30am

I don't know where Queen st is and it doesn't show on any maps I have...get to Masterton and ask for directions maybe..

[yungatart]

Just googled it for you, it appears to be the main street, go straight through the roundabout just past the Mobil station on your left, it looks like it becomes Queen st on the south side of the roundabout.
If I am wrong can some Mastertonian correct me please.... Lissa????

[Zukin]

Hey there

The easiest way to find Dave Anderson Suzuki coming from the North is

First big roundabout you come across, veer right, past the fire station.
Stay on this road (which is the main road, SH2), through 2 more roundabouts and then you will see The Warehouse on your left, turn next left after The Warehouse, then 50 meters turn right.
You will see the Suzuki Flags from here.

Cheers Scott

Bugger,

Just been to the ferry terminal but must have just missed them. I was going to ride with them until the bottom of the Takas (work commitments stop me going over). Never mind.
Hopefully I will catch up with them at Masterton tomorrow and join them through the gorge. Again, other commitments stop me going all the way to Napier.

By about 24 hours!
Will postr up details of tomorrows meeting times later.
They will be glad that you can join them for any part of the trip.

I do sincerely hope that we have time to stop at Mangitanoka ... I have the feeling that there's a memorable photo opportunity to be had there if there's 100 bikes and we all pay homage to the tower

[Hawkeye]

By about 24 hours!

Ha! That'll teach me to confirm dates/day. I just got it into my head that they were riding to Napier on Sat so must be arriving from the South today.
Looked at the clock, saw 8:40am. Throw on leathers, jump on bike, arrive at terminal at 9.05 thinking I'd missed them.
And yes I had.. by 24 hrs. Doh!!!!

Strange how no one mentioned about meeting them the next morning whilst on the cruisy Wed ride to the Tin Hut.

Bet Mary will come now if she thinks I am going to the home of beer..

[SDU]

I hope you enjoyed the Molesworth. Carissa what an especially awesome accomplishment.
Zukin, Carissa & crew have a Safe trip home & enjoy your well deserved rest. You all must be looking forward to the final leg of this fantastic journey you are doing.
I guess it won't be long before you get itchy feet again & I hope to see you on your next (more leisurely) tiki tour down this way.
