Manawatu Rant n Rave

[NZsarge]

Thought a ride to Te Awanga (Clifton cafe) for lunch sometime during the hols might be nice, nice easy scoot and everyone welcome.
So, what's peoples plans for the late december early january period?
See if we can't get a date to suit most people....
I'm off from around the 19th of dec to the 8th of jan I think.


Edit: There is also Cemetry circuit on boxing day too.

If anyone else wants to join up, will advise departure time closer to the date.

At the Mid - Town ( I think ) Motel, we booked a few months ago when we assumed there would be another concert but apparently it was too much of a burden on Wanganui ratepayers.

It seems the council conveniently forgets the money 9000 plus bikers spend in your fair town (couldn't help but get a whinge in ).

So we will be reduced to pub-hopping.

P.S I am concerned at the slander directed towards Tui in certain comments I will advise the folks at the brewery in Mangatainoka tommorrow when I visit their fine establishment ( they may pay you all a visit in the night )

mr and mrs yod are staying in taupo tomorrow night, will be taking a reasonably standard route up there: vinegar hill, then main road all the way (might nip through Spooners Hill Rd at Taihape tho)

on Sunday the plan is to head across to Mangakino, then head towards Te Kuiti on Highway 30 but cut through the Kopaki Rd to Highway 4 and then head south to Taumarunui and carry on all the way down through the paraparas to Wanganui and then home (414km all up)

should be leaving here tomorrow around lunchtime but don't have a specific timetable; no real hurry to get to Taupo and it isn't a long ride.
planning on leaving Taupo around 11-12ish on Sunday (need a bit of a sleep in and a big brekkie)
any keen souls who wanna join us for either trip are welcome
