    Lots Of People To Thank

    What an awesome weekend, well done TONY W .

    Thanks also to XR JOHNNY for keeping track of us all as tail end charlie - BART, for the southern roads with real local knowledge - MUZZA DL, for taking care of the ladies - DR GIRL, DR BLOKE & JACKIE W, for the excellent BBQ and CLINT640 for not getting us lost in the KAINGAROA forest on sunday.

    I clocked up 470 kms on Saturday and 420 on Sunday, and got back to Ham at 6.15pm a very tired but happy camper.

    Highlight for me was stopping the top of the mountain just before Dannevirke( what was it called Tony W ) where the wind was so strong we struggled to stand up and i could not get back on my bike, much to the amusement of CARY.
    The veiws were amazing.

    Will post some pics later.
    Here for a good time, not necessarily a long time

    Would have been funnier if the wind had won and knocked you and bike on yr arse................

    As above, another great weekend and every road surface you could think of, and good to hear it wasn't just me having trouble stopping the rear spinning up on some of it
    Going away, busy?
