    Hey hey,

    Yeah had a great time, even with the stinging hail at one point you did great, didn't slow us down at all.

    Really looking forward to the next ride

    There were 7 today, a good number and a nice spread of personalities and bikes. There was sunshine, rain, hail, a bit of wind and allot of good riding. Of course the roads dried up perfectly just as we called it a day

    People were friendly and polite and only wysper took the piss outa my shiny new quasimoto suit which is less shiny and fits better after matamata.

    I am still keen on breakfast, still curious about the deal, sounds mischievous

    10:30 was to cater for the hang overs of some which paid off today but i am normally moving around the 8am mark, specially for breakfast.

    Cheers for the company guys.
    Had a great ride, even if i did lead you all into the shit weather.
    Hopefully the roads will be dry the next time out.

    OK I'm back, sounds like fun (apart from the rain, not a great fan of it myself). If we are on for Sunday brekkie and ride I'm happy to tootle along behind with mj. I'm in for the ride not the speed.

    Yes can do breakfast at 9.30 am Sunday morning. Though you will all have to meet at the Kingsgate Hotel (huge car park so no problem parking) my old bike will be parked outside somewhere. Ive pulled a few strings so they are providing brekkie free!!!!

    Forecast is for showers (bah humbug).

    Need to know numbers so please advise yeh or ney!!!

    cheers

    Always a yeh for breakfast, but if its going to rain then might be a ney for riding We had a good time on the last ride but i would prefer to be in the dry.

    I am keeping a watchful eye on the weather sites but at this stage its not looking so hot.

    I don't know nOObs LOL. Nothing like your boots filling up with rain, getting pelted by hail, wet leather glooves.. and the worst being wet nuts . Good thing it was a cruisy ride.

    We went Hilcrest -> airport -> mystery creek -> cambridge -> matamata -> karipiro -> somewhere close to hams -> hams all on the back roads apart from a sneak from cambridge to matamata.

    (might have got that mixed up, i'm a nerd, not a navigator)

    Bloody cool road, i am sure i would get lost (damn shame) trying to go the same way by myself.

    I think its a good idea to not do the same route all the time or it could get boring/racing
