Ummm, now you're asking all the hard questions...I'd say we will be there no later than 9:45, if we're there earlier and no-one's about, we'll wait a short while.
I have no idea what the 'average' speed will be...Typically a KB rated slow ride will not exceed the indicated speed limits, and corners may or may not be taken around the 'suggested'/signed speeds. On the Miranda straights you wouldn't get much change out of $2.50...I don't want to incriminate myself, so I hope this gives you an idea.
We will probably only have one fuel stop. Paeroa is not far, and we want to try and get the best balance between not having to wake up at 7am and not turning up after half the day's racing is complete...

LOL! No worries, that sounds about the pace of our group anyway. Those miranda straights are bad news!

I'm a bit slower than most of them, esp up the twisty bit between kawa & kaiaua (still getting used to the 400), but I'll catch up further along. Beats going down the boring highway and getting a nice square tyre. See you around 9.40ish. Should be about 5 bikes in our lot.

East side represent. Me and CK might be at the shell at clevedon at about 9:30ish if we coming (which is more than likely). just look for 2 weedy white guys hahahahahahahaha

I see no reason why we shouldn't do this again!

These are the details as of 11-02-05:

Meet at the Caltex carpark, Mt Wellington Hwy (by the BK)

9:00am, for a 9:15 depart

A reminder that slow riders may find the pace a bit too quick - aimed at medium to quick riders - the whole wake up late and make up the difference kinda thing...

A recommendation for a place to meet at paeroa to sit and dump our gear
The grassy knoll overlooking the hairpin.
SpankMe

Do you think a slow rider like myself will be able to keep up?

That's a decision you'll have to make.

Hey enigma, I doubt I'll be keeping up with the rest of my group. They normally stop and wait for me, so if you are any slower than me (highly unlikely!) you'll still have company!

Don't wait-up for me (not that you would anyway) guys. I have just had my W/E plans derailed. Friday Night Drag is totally shot (fu*ken Horse Owners

). I may get there for Sunday, but don't hold you're breath.

RiB - if you need a place to kip, giz a shout anytime
