The general gist is there, but I'm afraid there's quite a few hooks and diversions missing. You might even find that's not 1000Km??

As mentioned above, the registered riders will receive ride instructions, via email, in a few days....or you can turn up next Saturday and find out what the route is then.

Ah I missed that link, thanks. Yeah its quite different. I guess I better register early and cancel if I really have to.

New tyre fitted and I have voted. Now waiting for the email of the route.

That big High forecast for Saturday is just too optimistic.

I gather its on unless its weather like we had in the capital yesterday I wouldnt even drive my car in that weather. If it is severe then will it be postponed or cancelled????

**chanceyy** · 2nd November 2008, 21:01

rode part of the route for next weekend today.. if the weather is like it was today then it will be fab

Taking my card and stopping on the way at a country voting booth, walk in and vote real easy. Long range on Metvuw suggests that it could be a wet start and then fine . . . . .

Was holding off adding name to list but dont have to work now .
Changed oil in bike and voted today now all thats left is to hope for some nice weather .

**madmal64** · 3rd November 2008, 16:11

Well Im glad wilber gets to not work this Saturday as I will have to withdraw as I will have to work this Saturday

Bloody staff that get injured and leave it to the boss to cover for them.
To say Im pissed would be an understatement.
Sorry John... next year! Have a great ride guys & gals, I will be thinking about you all while Im stuck at work.
Oh well Burt Munro Challenge will be my next decent distance ride.

A quick look at the forecast and it looks like Saturday could be rather reasonable to us

I amy not need to buy that wet weather gear after all

(but I won't tempt fate and will take some ...just so it doesn't rain

)

Hey lets hope the Manawatu Gorge is open its got a major slip might have to use Saddle Road or an alternative route

**DougieNZ** · 5th November 2008, 11:29

Ummmm if i read my directions carefully then if you go via the Manawatu gorge you are going the wrong way??

**rottiguy** · 5th November 2008, 13:30

Just a word of warning to the manawatu riders coming through tokomaru saturday morning, they have re-started the road works 2km north of opiki turn off on the massey/shannon road and there is now a streatch of gravel there so please be carefull in the dark.
