Just had an emergency email from Jim2 that was sent to myself and Paul_in_NZ, he cannot attend Sundays ride and has "somehow rooted my KB account so I can't post for a replacement".

I have sent an email and a pm to the number one organiser and trust that they will takeover the reins from Jim2.

Go Jim2 Go

Hey all...haven' posted on here for while.

Just been for a blat up the takas, I think Lynda was just leaving as I go to the top.

The roads are crappy but still much fun!

I'm keen for tomorrow if the weather holds and if I can convince the wife to come for a second ride.

Hell, I could even stop in Masterton and wish my father a happy fathers day.

So the morale of my story is...I'll be there if the weather is good!!!

Mrs H and I have just returned from the Wairarapa where, amongst other things, we rode the planned route for Sunday's outing.

The road is clean and clear over the Rimutakas and through Martinborough. However the back road through Gladstone is a difference proposition. The last lot of rain has caused some slips and washouts. These are mostly well signposted. There is a lot of gritty crap on the road in places. The turn off up the "chimney" road past Gladstone is OK to the top, but take care through the cutting before starting your descent on the other side. From there on to Wainuioru there are several patchs of crap on the seal. Wainuioru to Masterton is in pretty tidy order.

Shiny sides up!!

Sorry I won't be able to make it guys. Unfortunately I have had to spend my ride money on bike parts so won't be able to make it.

You all have a great ride. I'll catch up with you later.

Holy shit, who on earth would be able to organise as well as Jim2 has done so far?? The day's stuffed - we'll most likely get some bloody Sergeant-Major type blasting out instructions with a megaphone-type voice.........not sure if I want to go now

Are you talking about the one that had the megaphone at the Pukemanu Adventure ride http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/at...chmentid=1357? She did a pretty good job from what I remember.

Hey its Father's Day and I am up and the weather is looking OK for a while, so should see you at Caltex on time.
