    Well, looks like Racey Rider and I will be burning snags and onions in preparation for the mongol invasion at Whanga about lunch time-ish.

    Just remember - never annoy the cooks!

    Well, it should be - never annoy the cooks and then look away for a second . . .

    see you all there, and be safe on that gravel.

    Plan:
    • Awake early to a nice sunny day!
    • Palmy crew meet at BP Rangatiki @ 07:50 for 08:00 start.
    • Quick stop other side of Wanagnui to pick up Hornet250Boy. No time for pies or coffee - you've only been on the bike an hour...
    • Arrive Stratford somewhere around 10:30 (maybe a tad earlier).
    • Gas & coffee, plus meet up with any naki & Waikato riders
    • Hit the highway
    • Lunch in Whanga
    • Head on to Tamarunui then Turangi for gas.
    • Quick stop at Flat Hills or Mangaweka for a coffee.
    • Vinegar Hill & home.
    Important stuff:
    • Have fun but take it easy - don't want any mishaps!
    • Careful on the gravel - no roosting!
    • If you want to stop for photos anywhere on the Forgotten Highway go for it - you won't be the only one.
    That's enough of that waffle, see you there!
    Cheers BR - this will be an excellent day out!

    WOOT one more sleep till the ride


    A few of us will be waiting at the Shell on the SH43 round a bout in Stratford from about 10am, looks like Pat, nodroj & myself @ this stage, some late comers possible.
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Blindfold Al when you get there,they have nice coffee,or else subway over the road,yoou'll never get him going if he spies two coffee outlets.

    Also as a thought with the bbq being used,perhaps we should all throw in a couple of bucks each and get a feed of chips from the pub,especially as we will also need drinks,best we don't upset the owners by having a bbq next to the pub.
