Makairo Track - Pahiatua - Sat 13 December 2008

[Aslan]

Hi - at the risk of appearing to 'horn in' on marks post under 'wellington rideouts where next' I'm creating a new thread here for a ride that's been mooted for this coming Sat - correct Mark?

I'm planning to return to the Makairo this coming Saturday 13/12 and plan on linking with other interested riders at Pahiatua 10.30am on Saturday AM as suggested by marks over on the 'wellington ride outs where next?' thread.

Others keen to ride up together from Wellington - I suggest we meet at Caltex Rimutuka at 8.15am for an 8.30am departure.

My plan is to do Makairo, ride on to Waihi Falls and return to Wellington by 5pm.

I'll post an event in the calendar for Sat 13/12 so folk can register their intentions.

Cheers Aslan

sounds like a great ride - I'll be there

I'll ride up via Shannon (nice coffee) and the Pahiatua track and in the interests of a harmonious home life will be home sometime Sat evening....

[Balrog]

You think you'll be able to move your arms by then Jim?
I don't remember approving this ride...wouldn't you rather be Christmas Shopping?

I can relate to your comment totally - I had a 'to do' list of domestic bliss items to be completed yesterday so that this coming Saturday became acceptable

[Aslan]

hey people who plan on doing this little adventure - (marks and balrog aka busa jim) can we agree to be leaving Pahiatua by 10am? If yes I'll upodate the calendar post

[Eddieb]

Hmmm, I wanna go. How many GS picker uppers are going?

I presume Jim will be on his GS.

[Balrog]

Yep, I'll be taking the GS

Not overly keen on a really early start.

C'mon Eddie - I'll make sure I've got a fresh set of batteries in the camera

Yep, I'll be taking the GS

What??? you're not going xmas shopping

I second that - as it is I'll have to leave about 8ish - or I wont get my coffee in Shanon

[magicfairy]

He's crap at Xmas shopping anyway. Only wants to buy himself toys...like toy helicopters from DSE to fly round the lounge and scare the dog.

But whines and moans cos he "doesnt know what to get Marie for Xmas" and makes me give him lists of things I want. Not much surprise in that.

[Balrog]

Hey, Don't give away all my trade secrets.

Anyway, how can you pass up a remote controlled helicopter that can be flown inside.
How cool is that.

LOL Marie - sound like my approach to buying my wife Christmas / Birthday gifts.

Jim - check out the gift dept at Kirks - has worked for me in the past

On the meeting time - we leave Pahiatua at 10.30am OK

So he's a normal guy then...

VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY COOOL. How much?
I mean shame on u a grown person playing with helicopters, I want it for my son

I had one of those helicopters. Took me about 10 minutes to break the back rotor. Been trying to rebuild it out of a beer can. Ran out of number 8 wire.

Oh, and for the ride thing.........count me in.
