Cruise gravel riding in 'rapa Sat 28/2

[Aslan]

it was best way not to double track over the roads, it sort of winds its way up north,
if your not happy with dorsets road, we can go back down.
it will be ok if its not pissing down.... i wouldnt take you some where silly, now would i..............

sweet Joe - I'll take my chances - forecast is for rain at this stage - cest la vie - put my faith in the TKC80's on the bimmer - so you reckon we still do Featherston - Martinborough - Toppys and out to Coast? leaving Featherston say 10.30am?

Actually pillion on the rubber ducky could be fun except for one major problem - I really don't think i'll be gripping anything with my left hand even by this weekend and honestly don't fancy holding on all day with just my right hand - thx for the offer tho!

Hi Pampa - I think it's going to be 10am from Caltex Rimutuka Sat AM. Meet Joe in Featherston at 10.30am (correct me if I'm wrong Joe) aiming to finish up at Eketahuna no later than 4pm say for those wanting to ride back to Wellington for commitments - incidentally I prolly need to take mine a bit more seriously - I'm planning on being on the RRRR the following weekend

[junkmanjoe]

Aslan second half of ride should take around 3 hrs, is a tight neckwork of roads. with a 1 1/2hr return to welly from ekey

1st half of ride, ummm let me think.

3 hr return from white rock, summer hill aprox 1hr and
40mins beer time, pit stop.
hows that looking
thats about 8hr + 1hr from welly in morning.+stops= aprox
9 hrs give or take, from welly back to welly

so a earlier start be good, hows 9.30am.
your thoughts.

[junkmanjoe]

it possably be more around 8 hr total, subject to weather and stops, how many jugs at glady e.t.c

OK .... Junkmanjoe and I have conferred and start times will be as follows - Caltex Upper Hutt 9am (groan I hear some of you say) and 9.30am at Mobil in Featherston.

Hope to see as many familiar and new faces as choose to join us - remember ride safe and look out for one another - we all take part in these informal rides at our own risk

Cheers Aslan
