    Or mail me a map and I will go myself!
    I could be a starter next week

    Weekday early in the week ( weather permitting ) could be good

    Give me a buzz at some stage

    Oops, just re-read other recent posts, seems you may be going friday, well I'm out for that, but if things change, please keep me in the loop.....

    Peachys got a registration/WOF type issue that's going to prevent him taking to the road so we are taking the chook chasers (to quote timg) to the Waimak on Friday instead of scouting the CCC ride, not that it's a ride that needs scouting, but if you read the whole thread you'll see he and i were going tomorrow as he couldn't make the 17th.

    So anyway I'll still catch you at all the Peg for a 9am departure (or down the road when I catch up ) on the 17th.

    Currently in Hong Kong less than 24 hours from my bike and looking forward to the 17. So far I think I have 13 total including possibles and probables looking forward to all catching up and getting away from the mayhem.

    It should be worth the effort if you do join us.

    J and I had a peek at the first section on Sunday afternoon.
    The road in to Motunau has a spectacular view and that's before we really even get started. Although it could just be that I live in the centre of the city so don't see that kind of view every day. It's almost distracting.
    The shingle leading to Limestone rd is well swept right now so will be real easy riding.
    The grass is super green up Limestone Rd itself and if the weather is even half decent it will be an awesome day.

    A couple of streams to splash though on a gravel road but no real river crossings. You will get dirty with gravel dust and maybe a little bit mud of though.

    A teaser.....

    Cooneyr & I have teed up at a "mystery deviation" for this ride.
    Details are suppressed, he wants the route to be a surprise.
    Lets just say the views should be spectacular........

    All I did was provide the encouragement, you did all the work. One thing I would like to add though is that we should all bring a fiver as we have promised a dozen to each of the landowners. This may add slightly to the difficulty of the ride but don't worry there will be plenty there to help if it is needed (Plug didn't use to call me the Crane for nothing).

    This deviation may mean that we have to drop Pyrimad Valley and come home over Weka Pass depending on how time goes. I don't think this will be a problem though as I'd take access to land such as this over a public road which can be ridden on any day.

    Looking forward to catching you up and hearing about your time riding in London. I did 2years as a motorcycle courier there, loved every minute!
