Good weekend alright. Thanks WMC for providing an excellent weekends entertainment. As Caroline said or thereabouts "most fun had in the wet and slush ever". As with the way there, the way back was over twice the distance of going the "direct" route. Gerble just couldn't resist

. Got damn

coming back through Dannivirke to home.

Saw Al and Sarah off for a scoot and nearer town saw Lance heading home. Nice soak in the bath. Will get onto cleaning the kit tomorrow as I've taken the day off to recover. Only got about an hours sleep. Well someone had to look after the fire

, didn't they?

Sorry to hear you had probs Rob. Was looking fwd to catching up with you.

Great weekend guys.
Cool to meet a few more KBer's, and catch up with a few people I hadn't seen for a while.
The weather wasn't too bad, and it made for some interesting barrel racing.
Only downer was assisting a cruiser rider and pillion who decked it on the Napier Taupo Rd. (Both walked away with only bumps and bruises thankfully).

Few pics of the weekend.
