Ah were you the guy at the back with the camo pants? We wondered where you got to, someone said you live up north so just went home. We just bypassed Puhoi because it was getting slightly late and went straight to Bar Africa.

Greetings all,

Planned (?) for this week is the following:

A longer ride than normal up SH 16 to Wellsford and then back to Bar Africa for the wind up for the year;

A shorter ride (60 - 80km) taking in some of the winding back roads of west Auckland. This ride will be conducted at new riders pace and end up at Bar Africa for the same wind up for the year.

If you prefer, don't come on the rides and meet the riders at Bar Africa from around 8.30pm.

There will not be any training done at Albany.

So, assemble at Shell Westgate by 7pm and choose which ride you want to do. It will be very difficult to do both rides!

I will be up in Kerikeri with work (luckily on the bike tho) so will miss out on the last one for the year (unless you plan on doing one on the 23rd, unfortunately I will be up in Russell then as well), thanks for all the hard work Mark W, the hobbit and others who have helped make this event as great as it is. It good to know that perhaps you may have saved a few bikers from getting seriously hurt through all the practise and expertise.

Merry Xmas to all, see you in the New Year.

Afraid I can't make tonight..

I've got a works do I politically should attend (a customer facing one!).. Free piss and food though, so not all bad...

Mark, just wanted to say, thanks for all your sensible advice over the last year or so that I've been coming... I've found it totally invaluable, and I'm sure I speak for everyone that you have trained when I say thank you VERY much for giving up all your time and energy to work with us !

Hope you have a great Xmas and New Year, and will occasionally find the time to come and see us !!!
