Found it... it wasn't Alzheimers.... is this on?????? Did the ride the other way round and it was great.....

Sorry for the delay in getting this done!

Plan is as follows:

New Plymouth and surrounding districts riders to meet at Challenge Katere at 11.30 onwards for a 12.00pm departure. (where the truck pumps used to be, behind petrol station building. You can access this from Devon Rd heading north or from Katere Rd).

Make sure you and your steed are appropriately fed and watered!

From here we will head up Katere Rd and onto Egmont Rd, coming out at Egmont Village.

Continue on to Stratford where we will regroup at the old tavern on the left just past the second round about (diagonally across from Malone's (where the toy run usually stops).

Then we will take Celia St\Opunake Rd on the right through to Opunake and rendezvous with the Southerners there at 1.30pm.

The next stop is just up the road at Oanui where those that want to can go through Oanui Vistors Centre (there is no charge for this).

Once we have talked enough crap here we will head through to New Plymouth where we can regroup again just inside the 50kph zone so those that want to and don't know the way can travel en masse to Boobs place (Timandra Street) for more bullshit and an ale or two to wash it down with! (watch out for the front door there, it's idiot proof

)

Here's a map for those that are visual learners...(click on the 'View Larger Map' at the bottom left of the map to see better!)

Looks like Jim and Toni are agreeing on the weather and Saturday is the pick of the bunch

If you could please add you name to the list on the calender http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/ca...day=2008-9-20& or PM me so we get an idea on numbers that would be great too!

Hope to see a good turn out!

If you have any questions please PM myself or paulmac.

Cheers
Paul N

We may have a few 250 riders and thats good!

That's also the reason for having a couple of regroups so no-one feels like they're getting left behind.

See you there!

"Fine, light winds and afternoon sea breezes" says the weather man

Can't say the same for Sunday at this stage but you just never know the weather with that bloody great hill in the middle. Usually north of the mountain is best if its lookin dodgie.
