Rapa Road Trip

When: Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd July.
Where to: Turangi via Roads that Kinje is deciding and I cant remember.
Reason: Cause we are hardcore.. and my first Big Ride out of the Rapa Area.
Who: Rapa Crew and anyone else who wants to come.

Meet up at Kinjes in Masterton at 9.30am. Or alternatively at Mobil Masterton at about 10amish on Saturday 21st.

The Rapa Riders are staying at someones bach with limited space but if anyone else wants to tag along then you will have to find your own accommodation for the Saturday Night.. recommended places by Skelstar and Chanceyy in the thread are Extreme Backpackers and Club Habitat. Drinkees on the Saturday Night, hopefully I am not too saddle sore to enjoy them.. (Tired I mean!)

Thermals and Beer a must.

Weather dependant of course. Dont lose me cause I dont know the way!

If you are thinking of coming please pm for cellphone numbers etc.

Cheers Mel

Well ... I dont see a problem with other people coming CF. But if a whole lot of people want to come, I dont really want to be responsible for them and booking accommodation, and for their safety... esp around the KDs (but really, Iam a slow rider, and its just going to be a cruisy ride). Then there is the fact you would have to qualify as a Rapa person, which involves alot of drinking, banjo playing and dancing the macarania..

P/T

This is what we are thinking: Maybe leave on a Friday, go up either New Plymouth way or Taupo. Stay a couple of nights, riding some roads and head back Sunday. Thinking maybe in July sometime? Sound good so far?

Macarania...opps I meant the Macarena!! Will be testing everyone... and marking.

Instructions:
1. One places his/her arms forward, palm down, right arm, then left arm.
2. Then the dancer turns his arms over so that his palms are up, right, then left.
3. The dancer puts his hands on his shoulders, first right hand on left shoulder, then left on right.
4. Then the dancer puts his hands on the back of his head, again right, then left.
5. The dancer then places his arms on his hips, right hand on left hip, then left on right
6. Then the dancer's hands go on their respective hips (or pelvis), right then left
7. The routine finishes with a pelvic rotation in time with the line "Ehhhh Macarena!"
8. Then the dancer turns 90 degrees clockwise and repeats the same motions throughout the whole song.

what about the kb weekend @ turangi queens birthday weekend ..

**Lissa** · 8th June 2007, 20:39

Lets try to organise to go to the Cold Kiwi in September... heaps of time to save up... get thermals, tents etc.

As for the road trip... still havent come up with anything as of yet!

**Baldyheed** · 8th June 2007, 20:54

Did the Cold Kiwi last year, and it was good fun. Cannot make it this year as will be back in UK. An overnighter to New Plymouth sounds interesting though, as not really been over there yet.

**Trudes** · 8th June 2007, 21:22

My Cuzzy sends me the flyer for the Cold Kiwi every year. I'd love to go, but unfortunately it's a really bad time of year with assignments coming out my ears by that stage, but we'll see...
