Manawatu Rant n Rave

[chanceyy]

Plenty of ciggie breaks will keep things just fine, none of this 200+ kilometres in one go rubbish Just a nice day out, no pressure is the way to go I reckon.

sounds like a plan

Sounds like a plan alright....me having now done a whole 1600Kms in total riding...(even had first service on me wee bike)...I am sure I will be up to it

woo hoo chicky ... well after seeing how well you handled castlepoint I have no doubts you can handle anything ..

Right, looking for a suggestion/s for a date to have this ride?
Should it be in mid to late december or early January or just the next fine saturday or sunday. Just thinking some people who might want to do this ride might need to plan for it so should it be posted in the calendar?

Please if anyone has any ideas/thoughts speak up, would like as many people to join in as possible.

hmm just a thought a lot of ppl have a few weeks off over xmas new yr period .. cemetery circuit on boxing day .. so how about a ride say 28 or 29th dec .. or 3rd -5 jan or there abouts .. that gets xmas outta the way and celebrations at new yr .. I will be on the bike as much as possible after getting back from up north ..

not sure if the cafe will be open .. but we can always take our own lunches

Hell no they go toooo fast lol.

Will try to leave Hawera about 9.15 or so as might have a bit of traffic and cops on way to NP,especially from Stratford north.Still need a bed,no worries if you do,BUT we might have a birthday party to go to sat night,will be back early (8.30 or so)and can leave you at a good bar or two and catch up when we're back.

Probably won't do the New Plymouth Toy run (did it one year though) or the Wellington one (did it last year). But does anyone know when both the Wanganui & Palmy ones are on? Must be soon surely.

Also, be prepared - there may be triplets on a ride soon.

good on ya girl, I had a real shock as I arrived at Cuba and saw you pulling away. I have been stressed being Hondaless for 2 days so can imagine how the lastg few weeks have felt. Sounds like you will be clocking up a few over the next few weeks though.
