    I've been thinking I need to see the East Cape, so a Cape to Cape sounds interesting!

    on Friday ride to Opotiki.

    on Sun go to Whanga and do the track and ride home

    easy peasy
    Anything that is a big triangle, square or whatever with no backtracking on roads already done sound like a plan!

    Anyone noticed how the length of our rides seems to be increasing! Gone are the Saturday & Sunday 2 dayers - now its 3-4 dayers!!!!!

    Not complaining at all btw - I think its great we have a good keen bunch of blokes up for getting out there on our bikes together!

    Pretty soon we're gonna be on week long rides once every 2 or 3 months! If we keep this up we could be heading towards full NZ tours and trips rounds South America(my dream LOL!)!!!!!!!!!!

    Cheers, Dave

    Everything went very well Once we got the bikes out of customs, we had 8533kms of trouble free riding.
    Marks will be pleased to hear that Clint is barely pausing to eat and sleep in his ongoing quest to crop, resize and sort our 450-odd photos so we can start a ride report
