Hmm, that's a fair transit but looks like it could be fun.

Hanging a right at Eketahuna and up Mangaone Valley road looks a little more interesting that SH2.

How lumpy/bumpy is the track? My bash plate still needs attention from a bigger hammer and more skilled weilder than I am, plus a bit of bracket redesign wouldn't go amiss.

At the first decent thump it tends to jam itself against the sump

Heres the track I took on the GPS last time we did it.
the pics are quite large 1920 wide, so if you save them you will be able to see all the detail

Heres a few links to some previous rides, there are quite a lot of photos to
have a look at.
Gives you an idea of what to expect

This is the last ride we did, pampa also supplied some other links to follow
in this thread

I am a starter if this ride goes ahead on the Saturday. Sunday is out for me.

I'm in. Gets me out of going to the stinking Christmas parade. Bah humbug.

Track was quite dry, so should be easier than past adventures through there. Some tight going and I found the worst part were low overhanging branches. Big rut towards the end was too deep for even the drz400, but easy to walk the bike past.

Anyone got any plans together yet.

Lets make it Saturday the 13th as it seems to suit most people?

What about meeting at Pahiatua at say 10.30? - can anyone suggest a good coffee shop as a meeting place?

I'd be keen to head out to Pongaroa afterwards via the Towai Rd.

I might head up north at the end of the day and stay at Hastings and maybe do the Gentle Annie on Sunday and then via the backroads to Ashurst and then back home Sunday lateish.

OK twist my arm - I'd love to come - should be all good - I'd already socialised that weekend as the date for the next ADV ride - just need to get the emotional bank balance topped up this weekend! - cheers S
