Going through Ashurst is also a possibility... meet up with some of the Ashurst boys.

Kinje will post a schedule later on.

since things are up in the air with Betsy & getting her back on the road will not committ to turangi (bugger it) but if she is up & running I might be keen to come part ways with you guys .. will let you know closer to the time

You will have to refuel at Ashurst and I am sure some of the manwatu crowd will meet you at ashurst and ride for some of the trip if not all of the trip...

And No doult Yod will wanto to show off his new bike too but I am keen too catch up with you guys

Damn having to retype this- posted last night but there was a software upgrade on and it didn't go through.

That could be a good route. I take it its sealed all the way? Is it kinda like the road to Alfredton we rode down last weekend with the moss and stuff?

Lissa can only do 150km on a tank, will this road be OK?

And will someone be a tour guide on this route? Sounds like yod will go anywhere with the new bike buzz! Will be good to catch up with you guys again.

Only if I get to sleep in the middle

LOL... I am sure we can find places for everyone to sleep, even if its a sofa

Hopefully any others coming can find accommodation in Turangi... cant wait, I'm praying for good weather.

The calender isnt working... so I'll put it on when I get a chance.

As its a cruisy ride, and I DID want to leave earlier than 10am, but some people.. want to sleep in a bit. I thought we would just ride up, stop to fuel up, lunch in Taihape (?) and get to Turangi in the afternoon to rest my bottom!

She was coaxing me into saying it, I am the innocent one here you know
