    The farm manager wants us to travel from the Paraparas and come out onto the river road; there will be directors of the trust doing a tour of the property that morning so good rider behaviour will be essential.
    I will have to sign a document absolving the land owners of any responsibility of injury acquired whist on the property.

    We need to be on the track before 11am.

    For the guys that havnt been on the river road You will get to ride the best part.

    Cheers Pete.

    Pete aka KSlider and others - are we confirming an 8am meet for an 8.30am 'off' from Shell Mana? thanks Aslan

    Mitas EO-9

    I finally got the EO-9's on and took them for a spin, they handle really well on most terrain except wet tar,lots of fun changing down gears between traffic lights big compression lock ups, big slides around corners and the noise is just great not sure how long they will last tho

    Joe - assuming others coming from Wellington agree with the suggested 8.30 sharp departure from Shell Mana - I'd expect to be at the Church Cafe in Sanson around 9.30 - 10am. This is the info I've given GSers aka Gerard who'll be coming from Palmerston North.

    Cheers S

    Actually I'd suggest closer to 10.00am than 9.30am.

    Yeah am bummed I'm gonna miss seeing & hearing that pairing and missing out on meeting a few new faces that i have been looking forward to meeting, but am sure there will be other rides when that can happen in the not too distant future as it seems we are getting rather keen on this adv malarky!

    Cheers, Dave

    If it makes you feel better you can always pray for rain & get it postponed for a week or two

    I've also just put an E09 on the back and am pleased how well mannered it is on the road. Now lets find some mud this weekend
