    Big Night Out in Tokaanu

    Wellington KBs, Quasievil has come up with a brilliant idea for a ride on October 16/17th. He's also done all the thinking and organising, and struck deals on accomm and meals. (See Waikato Rally thread) How about getting a posse to head North?

    Tokaanu is about 4k west of Turangi (=middle of bleedin nowhere). The Oasis Motel/campground is basic and has outdoor hot pools and heated swimming pool. For some reason there are restaurants in the vicinity. I'm goin'

    The journey North can avoid boring SH1 a lot of the time. How about the Paraparas on the way there and home via Vinegar Hill/Kimbolton?

    You know it makes sense.

    That's the Grand Challenge weekend -- so accommodation at Turangi/Tokaanu may be at a premium?

    After all that stressful term-time work, what you really need is some time to yourself. Go on a retreat to help you refocus on what is important to you (no no, not that... study!) You will come back feeling revitalised and refreshed and ready to face new challenges. It will be the perfect opportunity to renew your energy and do some all important networking and gain some interesting new ideas to apply to your study


    How was that??

    Mrs H and I plan to do the Grand Challenge. I guess we'll be hanging out for a hot pool once that's done and dusted! Not to mention a decent bed...

    Have you made arrangements for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights? That's the length of time we had planned to stay (ride up Friday and back on Monday). I haven't made any bookings yet, but had this on my list of things to do this week...

    delighted to hear you and Mrs H are coming along, I really enjoy your posts and am looking forward to meeting your wife, she sounds like a real character, you two are very inspirational riding up from wgton, those heated handle grips will be useful I would imagine.
    I'm such a wimp when it comes to the cold, I intend to get some better riding gear before embarking on my pretty little dinosaur. Does anyone have any thoughts about boots/footware, I need thick/chunky soles to aid my lack of leg length, I need to be able to sort of touch the ground whilst seated, I currently use hiking boots, but wonder what other vertically challenged people wear, my boots are comfy but not at all waterproof.
    The proper boots have thin soles and are EXPENSIVE!
