Adventure Assault #3: MMMMM 07

[young1]

Packing the bike up now, just as the rain starts again

Too bad - worst day on the bike is still better than the best day in the office

See you all later!

[Zukin]

Haha

Pissing down here too, but supposed to get better throughout the day

See ya

[tri boy]

Yay, back on line. (digger operator cut through cable for 50% of retail outlets in Te Rapa, Boys worked through the night to satisfy Wharehouse)
Yo Zukin, Txt young1 or myself re eta into Taupo. If you can make it by 4.00pm,
I'm sure we can kill some time around the lake.

Ok see you soon
Leaving right now

What a weekend!
Thanks heaps to Clint for organizing a fantastic ride.
I'll leave the debrief to the guys with way more literary skills than myself, but simply thank all those involved for a very memorable time.
Couple of pics for an appetizer.(the real good shots will be in other peoples cameras).

Pic 1. View from first night accomodation.

Pic 2. Motu smoko.

Pic 3. Nice picnic spot.

Pic 4. Hamm'n it up.

[Zukin]

Yes made it back to the not so sunny Napier at about 6pm

For those that left early you missed the best bit

The whole weekend was a blast, I really enjoyed it, and so did the bike.
Thanks Clint

I will post some pictures later.

Cheers Scott

Fantastic to hear you had a good time - go the adventurers!!

[bvaut]

Thanks Clint for a great weekend ride. Really enjoyed it and meeting all who rode as well. Hopefully this may be an annual ride or perhaps more often around this area. Maybe even up towards the Cape- always plenty of good roads to ride. Thanks again and good meeting you all.

Thanks Brian, it was good to have you along, I reckon we'll definitely make it an annual event. Pencil in mid August next year! I think we'll go the other way next time, start in Taupo & do the Waipunga/Waikaremoana section on the Saturday.
I haven't really explored much East Cape gravel, maybe we should plan a loop around there taking in a few of the backroads?

Cheers
Clint
