    I'll be there!

    I think xrjohnny and Dr Girl are planning on being there? think?

    Anyway...if it is going to be a very short crew...why don't we just stay at my house in Otane?

    sounds like a plan if our esteemed leader agrees

    perhaps your spare bed could be reserved for the most senior member of the group?

    OK, here's the plan (bit of a moving target, I know). I've really got no idea who's turing up, so, meeting place will now be the start (west side) of the Makairo track at 9.30ish.

    People from the south can meet Mark at the coffee place in Pahiatua around 9am (earlier if you insist on one of those bucket size cups of chino).

    Riders from the north can meet at my place 9am-ish (you can show the way Wade). Anyone need my address, let me know.

    You'll need full tanks of gas heading towards the Makairo, as it'll be a long way to more gas.

    Awesome.

    We will drop down to Bart's house in D'verk for a cup of tea or coffee then off to the great unknown..

    Having struggled through there on my GS - even allowing for GSers superior skill, this would have to have been fairly predictable given the nature of the Makiro and the weight of an 'oil head' Bimmer - good on you for your courage Gerard - I always approach the Makiro with some trepidation even on my far lighter DR - Glad you lads had a great day - envious of you - cheers Aslan

    Request for RRRR 2011 ride report

    Okay guys, how did you get on.

    Just so that you can tailor the stories appropriately to my needs, I want stories of horror rides, involved breakdowns, lack of preparedness, all items that will make me feel better about not being able to get out riding this weekend.

    Unfortunately I see the weather has cruely cooperated, knowing that I couldn't participate - and allowing Mandy to consign me to gardening duties...

    PS The words brilliant, best ever, excellent etc are unlikely to be well received..
    IT'S JUST BETTER WHEN THERE'S TWINS INVOLVED..
