Anyone else heading Manawatu-Taupo early morning of 28 October?

**cowboyz** · 27th October 2007, 16:06

I am heading from Ashhurst up vinegar hill to main road and then striaght through to Taupo tomorrow morning. Anyone who is in for an early morning ride would be good to ride as a pair.
It will not be a sightseeing ride and I probably wont stop (unless I get hungry and want breakfast which could be somewhere near turangi.

Thinking about leaving between 430-5am to get up there by about 730 to get sorted and be at the track about 8am.

Takers? All the Manawatu riders are too soft.

Just checked the weather, possible early morning frosts, careful eh. I'm not from the Manawatu so I cant possibly be included in that statement.

yeah. looking at those damn frosts. That why i going up vinegar hill instaead of out the valley. Desert road should be entertaining though.

who you calling soft

must be those city folk

You could always leave earlier to beat the frost before it sets in..... But that probably means you will hit desert road at it's worst....Either way careful on the slipery stuff

If I wasn't fast asleep escaping the frost I'd meet you at Ashhurst. However, Sarah and I will see you in Taupo tomorrow

Ride safely and watch those frosts
