Ok, so it seems a long way off still but I just filled in a leave application for the 4th. That'd let me visit that Italian restaurant in Turangi on that night? Riders of Italian bikes seem to develop a habit of visiting Italian eateries...

Great stuff! Good to see the 'usuals' making their mark on the ride

As Steve said earlier the meals at the restaurant are unbelievable. Steve ordered Lamb Shanks but we were supplied the whole hogget!

Seriously, the one meal could of fed us both.

Now would be a good time to start thinking where you guys 'n gals want to go for the Sunday ride. Ive made a few suggestions on post No#2 but want to hear some good suggestions we can all vote on. Obviously the weather will play a part which heading we will take (its been 4 years and we STILL haven't got to do the Forgotten Highway

) .............

i have no idea if I will still be in back in NZ at the time, I may be away for a few weeks again? If I am here I will be in like a robbers dog.

**chanceyy** · 30th March 2010, 19:26

prefer to keep the rides centrally located its a darn long hike back down to welly to do the hill .. and we know there are some fab roads up there .. like 8 mile, forgotten highway, napier taupo road paraparas, oakune, etc

**325rocket** · 30th March 2010, 20:18

10 minutes after getting home from this last year i was online ordering heated grips!
ill need to check dates closer to the time but im pretty sure ill be in for this again.

Just as long as there are no roads like that road out round broadwood. I mean it was fun and really suckered me into the woops .. but broken headlight, lost side cover, cracked wiring harness,, starts to get expensive!!!

.

I know I know... my own fault for enjoying the air time so much

Doesn't matter, if the weathers up for it there are sooo many good rides.

**OutForADuck** · 30th March 2010, 21:09

So looks like Mnkyboy, Hinny and myself and sorted and booked into a cabin, Fri, Sat, Sun.

Jees! I hope our cabin isnt next door to yours!!! the noises coming out of it are gong to be err......descriptive!! ha ha

**sarahtvet** · 31st March 2010, 13:27

Had the heads up about this from a few of the Rustys and TT lot, they are coming up from down south so guess it will have to be a loooong weekend then :-)

Had hoped to try the Brass but bank account won't stretch to another south island trip for a few months and would be good to catch up with the team in a hot pool.

Not working so will have to be a busy little student and get off nice and early :-)

**gunnyrob** · 31st March 2010, 17:33

I've managed to sort Ramon out with his grandparents. Karl, any chance of sharing a cabin with you? I'll join you on the Saturday ride south.

**Pumba** · 31st March 2010, 19:26

sounds good Rob. And just for the record it is Carl, with a C bitch
