Still 50/50 whether we'll make it out tomorrow...

Is there a plan or a meet-up point?

Odlins is a sweet all weather ride now. Those 4x4 guys have done some "grading" over the winter and it is all pretty good. Not that you'll need to worry about rain, if today was anything to go by

Sorry cant make it to see the new bike...?? But off VMX racing at Feilding - Lees Rd if you fancy watching old blokes trying to start old bikes!

The ride this weekend with Mark S is all go.

We're intending to meet at the Waikanae coffee cart at 8.00 Saturday (27th Nov). Ride to meet Bart at Shannon or Ashhurst (he's just going for a day trip), perhaps take in Takapari Rd, backroads to Taihape, ride the station before Gentle Annie etc. Bart is doing a round trip Back through Gentle Annie, Hawkes Bay etc.

Mark S & I will do 42nd Traverse & then stay at Taumaranui. We'll use that as a base to do Fishers & Old Whanga Rd & a few other worthy road / tracks. Home Monday.

Basically make it up as we go along.

PM me if you want to come along.

Wow all those km's on just one tank

I'm going to attempt an enduro - novice class

Whats this 'station before the Gentle Annie'?

Hi Eddie, think he might mean this track here, it's probably only about 10km and is a paper road through a couple of farms. I almost caught a Pic of the elusive Bart lying down when we went through last Christmas.

Looks cool. I may be interested in a day trip up to Taihippie and a look around thereabouts if your planning on doing any of those roads around there.

If it's raining or work carries on how it has been this week I may just stay in bed however.

The road I was referring to was Matawhero Rd, which is not a paper road. But any & all paper roads are open to suggestion. Always keen to see new tracks.

This ride could be characterised as the 'Make It Up As We Go Along Ride ('MIUAWGA' ride). The goals for Mark & I are to do the 42nd, Fisher & Old Whanga some time during the weekend. But we'd prefer to do the 42nd saturday afternoon if possible.

This is a Daytripper friendly ride. Let me know you are coming & we'll try to accomodate. If your plans are different to ours, we'll split amicably.

you forgot the 'Both Ways' bit on 42nd/Fishers/Whanga

if its really muddy on any I'll have to bail as my back tire getting pretty transparent.

Tony (Gloves - DR650) is intending to do at least a day trip and possibly an overnighter

Hopefully we'll be in Ashhurst by 9.30- 9.45 and in Taihape between 12-1pm

I was hoping to take a fairly convoluted route from Ashurst to Taihape - there some absolutely awesome gravel and seal in that area.

I suspect that doing Takapri Rd might make the day too long - I think I'd rather save my energy for the 42nd on Sat arvo

Eddie - going through the Gentle Annie with Bart and then back down to Wellywood would be a great days ride

woohoo were going riding
