Palmy/Ashhurst ride this weekend?

[yod]

Weather looking good so i was thinking of heading up to kimbolton, then out rangiwahia rd, then hang a left at pemberton onto mangamako rd and out to ohingaiti and then come back through route 54?

only an idea - open to any suggestions if anyone else has a plan....i'm more than happy to follow the leader (thats my excuse for not being able to keep up with half of ya!)

Would appreciate anyone's knowledge on rangiwahia rd, mangamako rd - just been looking at them on google maps and they look interesting but for all I know they could be goat tracks! Bonez, 86, Cowboyz? you been out through there at all?

edit: all the usual suspects from around the district are invited of course...

yeah it is a problem .. but when the weather is so blardy great who wants to sweat mowing lawns .. much better to sweat on a bike LOL

patience lad. we are still recovering from last weekend. I am not sure if I am riding this weekend. Got a new rear going on on monday cause my tyre is a little more than rooted after last weekend. There are small cracks right down the centre of the tyre. Not sure how much life it has got left in it to be honest. Might take a photo and ask some opinions on it.

meanwhile, back in the real world....
have you done those roads i mentioned? just wondering what they're like?

[cowboyz]

post up a map. I if it is the one I am thinking about then it is one of bonez special roads. Nice road to ride but quite a few surprise corners on it. It is the one with the infamous fence on it.

no worries - didnt get my new helmet in time for this weekend (bugger) but hopefully will turn up next week and a new one for the wife too
i also managed to get hold of some factory (i think) mirrors for the viffer so at least ill be more legal and i can see how far behind me the kwaka is

hopefully Bonez will turn up on here at some stage - he's bound to know those roads.....
