    Castlepoint 6 or 7 April

    When: Friday 6th April
    Meeting: @ Rimutex 10.30
    Leaving: @ 11.00 at the latest

    The ride is weather dependant but if its just a bit drizzly then I still plan on going.
    Will be stopping somewhere for lunch on the way there...

    I plan on stopping at Uncle B's corner (when I find out where it is) for a short time either on the way there or back. Im assuming that the way to Castlepoint is signposted so I wont get too lost?

    Anyone keen to join me? Otherwise im happy to go by myself. *sob*

    It is a good bit of road. You'll enjoy it Hells. Sorry, I don't know which one is Bruces corner.

    Yes it is sign posted. Just head through Masterton and turn right at the other side.

    I'd love to join you. I really am missing my regular rides with you guys. Have a good one

    Sorry Hels, love to join you but I'm taking the roof off the house this weekend (the guy at Mitre10 said it was the best way to change the air inside the house).

    I had a few texts of interest last night so I have edited the first post with times, dates and meeting place. I couldnt do Saturday as im riding up North for a few days. If you want to contact me, could you text rather than PM as I only have limited KB access.

    Fingers crossed that the weather will be good!

    Is this the corner that caught Uncle B out - the first left hander after the Riversdale turnoff? This is where we stopped yesterday.

    I once piled into that preceding right hander corner at *mumble* km.hr only to find that that there left hander was gravel. No signs. Nothing. The road surface had been ripped up in preparation for resurfacing.

    How my mate on his K100RS got round there I'll never know, but we both made it somehow.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Yeah its a tricky one due to how you drop down the hill at that point too. However, any one know if it is the corner? Just trying to help Str8 out here.

    Arrow This is the corner on which UncleB/VTwin crashed

    Heres the pics for merv, str8 and anyone else that wants to know. Its not the first lefthander its about the fourth lefthander after the turnoff.

    Photos are self explanatory. The last one is looking back the other way (towards Masterton)
