BustaGut Gathering - Turangi Queens Birthday '08

[Qkchk:Me]

Just remember to get out if the water level starts to rise,especially after lots of bears and wine.

As long as Qkkid keeps off the Lamb Roasts, we'll be alright!

[KoroJ]

A couple of us will be coming up Saturday.

We'll be keen for a go at the Forgotten Hiway and the Awakino Gorge is always good for a blat if that's on the plan.

We haven't decided on a circuitous route up yet but would welcome any other Welly or 'Rapa or Palmy Riders to join us....or 'Bay riders Robertydog.

most definately in Mr Harris looking at Schnappy again!

Talking to a few others, it sounds like it could be the plan. Sounds like the Forgotten Highway is at it's premium condition!

[Qkchk:Me]

Who is coming but hasnt lodged their attendance yet?

Do it NOW

[Qkkid]

We have about 22 people going so far Ya dont wanna say afterwards "I wish i had gone"
Anyway Qkchk and meself cant wait

Lookin forward to it though Here's hoping the weather is nice! I'm still in un waterproofed summer gear

woo hoo Meekey will be good to meet you ..

hmm get some cheap wet weathers from the warehouse .. less than 20 bucks each & they do the trick fine in the interim

[ynot slow]

If you come via Forgotten Highway on the Saturday,we might join in and cruise to Turangi with those doing the ride,then shoot up Paraparas.

Have to work Saturday morning in Stratford till noon,the idea was get home chuck gear on bike and vamoose around 1pm from home,thus taking leisurelly ride 2 up that pm.If a group is heading via F/H happy to wait.Need to leave the Sth Naki region around 2.30pm to get to Turangi by 5ish.

On the other hand doing this ride on Sunday could be a goer as well for us,leave early and lunch at Whanga pub,or any cafe from Stratford or Hawera as well.

[KoroJ]

We will be travelling up on Saturday, probably Wairarapa - Track - then ??, options are Pohangina Valley, Mangaweka or Paraparas.

I'd be hoping for the F' Hiway ride on the Sunday. It's pretty much the same from Stratford to Turangi via Para's or Awakino-Aria & about another 20K's via Piopio. Both ways are good rides so weather could decide the route from there.

[Qkkid]

Yep Sunday sounds good for the forgotten highway then off to the hot pools for a dip

[pritch]

Who is coming but hasnt lodged their attendance yet?

It's still a definite maybe. I think. Perhaps.

[Gareth51]

After having a blast at the Cold Duck I've just added this to my must do list and have to keep a eye Sandra with that bear,especially at the hot pools.

[Qkchk:Me]

It's still a definite maybe. I think. Perhaps.

Oh come on, you loved it last year

And I dont want to be the only one there with a real engine!

[Qkchk:Me]

So who would be keen on a bus trip over to the Hot Pools after the ride on Sunday (and maybe Saturday)?

If I can see what numbers would be interested I can organise a booze bus to transport us to and back from the Hot pools. Last year we had the use of chanceys wagon but I think we wont have it this time....
