We may have to organise the Mk II ride over summer, once it's warm enough for camping.

We now have official Meeting Times.
We'll head off from Clint's place a bit after 10. People are welcome to come round early for a tea or coffee beforehand. It looks like it should be a good morning for it.
We'll meet up with everyone else at Okere Falls Store at 12pm for lunch, aiming to be on the road again by 1pm.

Don't forget that there isn't any fuel at Okere Falls, you'll need to fuel up in Rotorua or Paengaroa, depending on the direction you are going in.

Let Clint640 know if you need a bed on Saturday night.

We have lots of nice food planned for Saturday night and Sunday morning. $10 each for those staying on Saturday should cover the food costs. We do have some beer on hand, and will be passing a liquor outlet not far from Clint's place on Saturday afternoon.

I was looking forward to this but now the weather is clearing I have had people booking my rides. So stuff it all- now I have to work. I know its not real work but I was keen to meet some KBer people.
Once the weather gets good I will be busy most weekends with my own adventure tours, last summer I rode 3 days a week at least but only got to do one other ride.

So ladies and gents, have a great weekend around the lakes and stay upright!
I'll keep an eye on here for other rides coming up and make every effort to be there.

Paula is a no show as she's to busy to get someone(her family!) to cover so just me, see you all at the store

p.s. there is a slim chance i'll meet you at Clints if I get up early enough but don't wait, all depends how my shift worker body clock is working!!

Rosie I will meet everyone at Okere Falls at 12ish. There is a chance I will stop at Clints on the way there and dump my gear (I am worried about those narrow gaps that a car can squeeze through but I can't!).

Do I need to keep anything for the afternoon ride (hot pools?)

I have Clint's cell phone number so will text if there are any delays etc.

Mark - I will have the medicinal rum (you want to grab the coke!!)

Yes, you will need some swimming attire if you want to have a soak in the hot pools. And a towel.

The hot pools are a shallow stream/pool/pond in a paddock on the side of the road. The water is nice and hot, but, like any free hot pools, you get what you pay for facilities-wise.

Cool, I presume the "new" KLR rider will have to stay down stream from the rest of us!!

I won't have anyone dissing Kawasakis on MY ride
As they say; If it's not green, it's a lemon
