[chanceyy]

remember it well, that was the Hainswof/nasty corner/target fixation bin day

you mean the Waipawa -> Patangata -> Middle Rd -> Havelock -> Kahuranaki Rd -> Elsthorpe -> Patangata loop we did a while back?

....funnily enough the green bike was absent and we didnt get lost...

yeah thats the one .. dunno if adding weber in will make it a really huge ride though ?? or can ride up turn off at ormsondville again

[yod]

Spill.....

was thinking we could go the reverse to last time, so Patangata to Elsthorpe then up Kahuranaki Rd, etc....

but at Elsthorpe we could hang a right and nip out to Kairakau Beach - only about 25-30km there and back, road looks good and is sealed, maybe have lunch out there (if there are any shops...who knows)

just a little diversion for half an hour or so

dannevirke to waipuk via weber is about 120km, but going via ormondville, takapau, etc its about 60km so i guess an extra hour/hour and a quarter since we'll probably stop at Wimbledon and the road would be slower going too

I spose without the weber loop it would be a 6 hour ride so maybe 7-7.5 if its included?? (thats ashhurst to ashhurst btw)

Either way you know it's a good ride.
The road condition from Weber to Wimbledon being the only reel issue with going that way I reckon.
But it's not a race so if everyone rides accordingly it should be all good.

yep....if we do a 9am start at Ashhurst we got all day anyway

is this for this weekend or waitangi day?

[NZsarge]

If you go ormondville/Takapau I can stop and sweep the rest of the metal off where I binned it!
If I have my bike.... Speaking of which I will pay them a visit today I think...

Well I might see you at Phil's round 3, I might also turn up at the Ashhurst servo at 6 just for laughs.

So you go for lunch at 1 and get back at 3 just in time for afternoon tea break. Respect

Gunning for a job with Higgins or Fulton Hogan? Be sure to put a shovel in as well incase to want to stop for a rest.
