The Great Lower North Island Loop Ride

**DingoZ** · 7th March 2008, 10:14

Feilding is on the second day on the way home. Would you be able to get to Dannevirke, we will probably be stopping there for a meet and fuel..

Going to work out the timings with Grub today, so they should be posted up later on this afternoon.

The more the merrier for this one. One of the last chances for a decent ride and a nice farewell to Summer....

Dingoz and The Grub have played with the maps and the clocks and we reckon this is a reasonable guess on where and when we'll make stops on the way to pick up Manawatu and Hawkes Bay KBers.

Timing details:-
- Assemble Rimutex 8:30am
- Depart Rimutex 9:00am
- Eketahuna approx 10:45
- Dannevirke approx 11:45
- Taradale/Napier 1:15pm
- Lunch Napier Waterfront by the Marina
- Depart Napier 2:15pm
- Taupo 4:15pm
- Overnight at the Great Lakes Holiday Park

For those on the ride or intending to join us, PM me for my mobile number as I have phone comms in my helmet and can let you know how we're going getting to you.
