Awww - don't get too sad! Looks like I might be by myself for the night yet...

I may yet be on the 'storm provided I can get some tyres on it. There's always the trusty baby VTR too

The Mrs is keen on the racing at Puke (as am I), so it may be a compromise of Sunday only at the Nationals - so an early ride back to Aucks for me...

Sigh. So much organisation. I do however have a paid day off on Sat. Yay!!!!

I was gunna ride the liddle wee bike down until some people said they needed a ride. No full bike licence ( yet, roll on June 3rd ). Cage needs a run anyway. What's the story with accom anyway? All the rooms taken? How hard is the floor? Or we going down the local backpackers for the night?

I am HOPING to be riding also (depends how bike is going...) and was planning to join the Herceptin riders for part of their Auckland-Tauranga leg. Or all of it and back up agin, depending on timing etc. (they are leaving AKL at 10, going round the coro on the way)

Hi Hanne, I also thought it would be a happy coincidence if we struck this ride enroute as well. I think Macstars departure is around that time as well.

Regarding gear for riders - My lovely wife is taking the cage and one other passenger. Anyone who wants some gear taken down can drop it off to 123 Shackleton Road either Friday evening or Saturday Morning. May have room for 1 or 2 if stuck for a lift. Note well that you maybe subjected to ABBA plus you will need to adhere to Mrs JBs timetable, whatever that maybe. I think you could be safely assured of an early departure on Sunday and I wouldn't count on a door to door service.

The ride: if anyone with a smaller bike is thinking that they may not ride because of distance or pace, fear not. I am more than happy to ride along with you. Send me a PM.

I am really looking forward to meeting you guys, weather looks great.
Andy

Hey bro, you taking Nish or is he gonna take his car?

Something about him not holding a full car drivers licence... ? ?

**MGST** · 6th March 2008, 15:37

Dunno 'coz he hasn't confirmed with me yet. You know how KB is, everything last minute, so with KB + students = 5 minutes after last minute!! I'm taking my cage regardless.

I can meet you somewhere. If Bomma gets in touch with me for a ride, I think he is working until early afternoon? So I can get your gear in the morning and bring it down in the afternoon. I live in Kohimarama, dunno where you live, but we can sort summit out aye. Or bring it to Uni tomorrow and I'll take it home with me. I can take yours too Steven if you want. Dunno if you got my number and name, 021 136 3872, Andrew ( me too ).
