Did it come in lumps? or was it the diaorrea kind ?

I didn't realise it was so close until nadroj mentioned it...

Perhaps, this being the third time, we will be luckier with the weather.
Wouldn't it be nice if the only time we actually got wet was at the hot pools?
Apart from getting wet on the inside...

Well spent a few hours today fitting up some heated handgrips that is that problem solved.

Got a few ideas for the auckland push on the Saturday.

Map one takes us from the autobarn down 2 for a bit then turn off few some back roads (not 100% sure the map is right but not far off) to Morrinsvile, up and through waterworks rd (small section of well compacted graded gravel) linking up with some back roads out cambridge way before connecting up with the old Taupo Rd, then the western access into Turangi.

The next from the autobarn down 22, and then onto 39 turning off just before otrohonga to hit some back road poping out near 8 mile junction, into tamuranui then over the saddle and to Tuarangi. Alternativly we can turn off the Tamuranui - 8 Mile Rd and link through to the Bennydale Rd and take the western access to Turangi.

Map Three, leaving from the autobarn off 1 at mercer out to 22, back into the Glen Murry Rd and then down the western side of the river to Ngaruwahia, jump on 39 then once again turning off just before otrohonga to hit some back road poping out near 8 mile junction, into tamuranui then over the saddle and to Tuarangi. Alternativly we can turn off the Tamuranui - 8 Mile Rd and link through to the Bennydale Rd and take the western access to Turangi.

These are only three I thought and I welcome the suggestions of others

I did the same - took me about 1/2 hour (I have no fairings)

Until today I always considered them a pansy option; now I don't know how I got by without them

So... has everyone coming put your name on the calender listing?

There must be a few soft cocks around a bit scared of either the weather, cold or me.

It's been a great get together the last 2 years and I hope to meet a few more this year so get your arses into gear & register - rant over!
