We will probably come home from Lawrence via the other half of the Dunstan trail and the Thompson saddle road and the Lindis Pass. Or go back over to Wanaka to our Son's place for a night, then home via Lindis Pass, who knows, who cares!

Decisions, decisions, so much to do, so little time! All good fun so we will just drift loose and let it happen!

Cheers John.

Keeewl... will see you there then... we have to meeting spots... Depending on where you are staying in Dunedin...

Southern Tavern at 8:45 leave 9am (meeting the dunedin crowd)... Green Island 9:15ish (meeting mosgiel green Island Brighten crown) then on to Milton (meet errrrrrrrr who are we meeting here... oh possibly Scumdog, and RuralMan), on to Lawrence then coffee... then dunno...

may do the the loop in to Alex and do the Pig Root home... playing that one by ear...

open to suggestions... I will see how my wallet hold out (off pay week

)

With a bit of luck and planning, we might just about see you guy's there!

Of course we have to work out how to get back here as well!

What were you planning on doing after the coffee meet? :spudwhat:

Working on it, John.

Hi guys - In Naesby now at the end of the Passes ride - what an absolute blast. The arse is a bit sore (anyone know a good massage therapist???) and I could do with a bit more sleep. Home tomorrow and hopefully an early night.

After 5 days of 10-11 hours riding I might just skip on a big riding day on Sat and as I said i need to get back to Dunedin to catch up with some kids - but I will do the Latte's in Lawrence run on Sat and see you in Milton for the ride.

Great so many Dn riders could join us for the start of our Passes ride and to meet some new faces - Free2B, you need an adventure bike. Catch you on Sat.

a bunch of motorcyclists seem to have ripped of a restaraunt giving us all a bad name.

i'm offering my $20 to pay the bill, any other takers please go to that thread and offer what you can.

Luverly day for a ride........

**smokeyging** · 17th February 2007, 17:04

What a great day for a ride. we all met at lawrence and had a coffee and toastie pies etc, darned yummy. if i new they would be that good i would have brought more. then we split up and some of us went down to 'scumdogs' place for a coffee. thanks for that scumdog, great to meet you.
one blunder we did for the day was when we left lawrence we got 10 mins down the road before it dawned on us we had no tailend charley, [BOTB] nighthawknz and i went back to try and find her but seen nothing. eventually we found out she was in milton. after scumdogs we went over to BOTBs place and guess what, she must have been in a huff with us for she would'nt answer the door. we hope you are ok there BOTB.

I have got an old rain coat somewhere, I didn't do massage with it, I used it to "impress" little old ladies and young mothers with children too young to understand!

Actually the police might still have it and I am sure the stains could be removed by a competent dry cleaning company.

You are welcome to have it if the "authorities" will release it! Tell them Jack sent you.

Sounds like a 'normal' KB ride. You southerners have some real problems following directions don't you?

Good read NH.

Hi Anthony, Mrs O/r and I have just been riding the Dunstan trail and Lake Onslow connecting road from Millers Flat etc.

Could see where you have been, there was Teddy Poos everywhere you look.

We had a fantastic ride, met up with a lot of Kiwi bikers at Naseby and Dunedin, joined some of them on their ride for a while then went on our own way.

Shit hot weather, clear sky but a bit windy at times the country side is a bit like out the back of Otematata but not as rough or steep as it is here.

The roads were in excellent condition too, so must have struck things just right. Cheers John.
