Excellent nice to see other's pics too.

Merv, Bull ... what would we do without you guys! The pics are great and they're such an important record of these events. We often sit looking through them afterwards putting names to faces.

As for names I kinda give up when a big crowd turns up but can you put us straight on who did turn up Grub? Did you know the guy on the BSA?

Perhaps a list like I did for the Castlepoint ride would be the go if you can.

Considering i wasnt gonna go my arm was easily twisted! i loved the ride thanks and the company was great fun.....loved that hill. Oh and lunch was great as well....

meeting the kendoggies up the top of the hill was great and MrsK looked amazing in those leathers. its a good thing I'm not gay because I would have gone for her if i was

BUT the best part of the day WAS........i followed kinje up the hill and he didnt have time to take his helmet off before i got there YAY! GO THE RADIAN

don't believe him when he says he was having trouble finding neutral!

Good spotting in the pics. She got her lunch way before any of the guys ... I think a staff member might have fancied her

Well as they say, the day could only get better. Thanks for the pics Merv and Bull. Reckon this is one ride I won't forget.

Thanks Grub and Nasty, enjoyed the ride and destination. The company, food and setting were just right. Good to be able to sit outside before winter closes in.

Fridsy, Bull and I headed back up through Whitemans Valley, after lunch. Bull peeled off at the Wallaceville Hill, and Fridsy and I did the Mangaroa Hill, following which Fridsy headed home down through Upper Hutt and I returned down SH2 to Stokes Valley.

Heads Up and Enjoy
